Richard B Slow burn mumblecore movie about finding inspiration through the creativity of others. The vocation of choice in this one is architecture, which is filmed beautifully. The constructions are therapeutic in that they give space, light, and transparency for the characters to reflect on important choices in their lives. One character put their love into architecture to the point of neglecting an important relationship, but the remaining characters learn from that mistake and provide understanding and validation for each other so they can all move in more authentic directions. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/15/24 Full Review Nick L An emotionally powerful piece of art. Makes you cry all the time. Visually stunning set pieces and scenery. Smart screenplay with originality. Outstanding performances. Beautiful cinematography and editing. Flawless. A must-see for anyone in need of understanding. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/05/24 Full Review Jonathan K A meditative vibe and understated narrative, I'm left a little bit wondering what the point of telling this story was. The script sometimes jumps forward in time more than one might expect, making it a little difficult to know exactly where the thread is in the last third. I think if I try to pull some purpose from the film, it's trying to show what it looks like to grow and move on from your past and current relationship with or toward your parents, and into a new healthier exploration of that dynamic. On a stylistic level, there are some very cool camera shots, building on the architecture motif/through-line in the movie. And Haley Lu Richardson is really great in it, such a natural. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review Cameron H Great shots and acting. Slow-medium movie Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/31/24 Full Review Nashville I It pulls you out of the haze of life, and warmly reminds you of what it feels like to make a new connection. Columbus isn't for everyone, but if you enjoy deeply raw personalities that have something to say and a stark emotion to express, this is for you. It's not overdone, it doesn't force anything, rather Kogonada somehow is able to capture those conversations and confessions we dream about having with our friends, parents, and crushes. It doesn't have suspenseful cliffhangers or plot twists, but it's very much a movie that will help you feel joy and melancholy, to the ends of feeling like your waking up. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/08/24 Full Review rahscoh Watched for quite a while (1.+ hrs.) waiting for this 80% viewer rated film of unclear dialog & visual of mostly smoking and lots of square architecture to become fruitful as a movie. So I gave up trying to extract a reason for the high ratings! Maybe it's for those more coultred than myself?? As for architecture and beauty give me Port Townsend/Kalaloch respectively, also a waste of beauty in the stinker! AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN, less Kalaloch as it wasn't in that film, it's just beautifull. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review Read all reviews
