    Was in my top 5 from last year but the best of the decade so far is comfortably Beau Is Afraid

      Beau is Afraid was meh. Overlong, one-note, bordering on pretentious (not a word I use lightly) or at least clumsy. It's like a caricature of Charlie Kaufman at his worst. Synecdoche New York but an hour longer and with all the subtlety of Django Unchained or Inglorious Basterds.

      when i first saw this movie i had no idea what to expect, and i thought it would be a movie about a dad who fantasize about his daughter and the movie would explore him being tormented and then how the girl would realize slowly whats happening
      something like that (and its nothing like that)

      Advertising smoking and promoting child abuse.

      >le barneygay but autistic about smoking near children xD
      how original

      >WAAAAAHHHH HOW COULD SOMEONE NOT HATE LITTLE GIRLS
      have a nice day. Hating little girls like you do is the insanity here. Liking little girls and being against them being abused is not autistic, it's just right.

        There's less than 2 minutes of smoking shown in this film, I can find you thousands of others with way more smoke screentime with kids in it too.

    im a chud but i can usually watch something pozzed and still appreciate whatever greater value it has or was trying to portray regardless, that doesnt mean i go out of my way to watch pozzed media however.
    i watched this because of the thread the other day and it was just alright. while it doesnt have any pozzed messaging so to speak, i agree with the people saying that it was shallow. i wouldnt mind not having watched it.

    Murina (2021) was a better movie than Aftersun and that wasn't even so great either.

    The one flaw of this movie is the shallow focus

    • 4 months ago
      Anonymous

      Having clicked into this thread knowing nothing about this film you have successfully steered me clear. I fricking hate shallow focus, especially when combined with handheld shooting. Blue Is The Warmest Color, for all its other glaring flaws, was nearly unwatchable due to that. Aside from screaming "2010's film student with a DSLR", it's just ugly and nauseating. Give me a nice deep focus every time.

        The loss is yours my friend, the cinematography is great and when shallow focus is used, it's used on close, personal, intimate shots. It's not used indiscriminately

        The last segment is pretty kino, if nothing else.

    the best film by a woman is still the cyberpunk cult classic Strange Days.

    Movie was the most overrated of 2o23.

    It's like they got a budget to shoot at a resort so they could all have a nice holiday.

    'Acting' consists of staring into a mirror, then smashcuts of a nightclub.

    The daughter was the only good actor, but even then the 'script' if you could call it that, failed her as well. The scenes of her grown up added absolutely zero to the story.

    Give me a proper movie, thanks.

    the scene where the daughter realizes that the dad is buying shit he can't afford on credit, pure kino. a simple scene but a effective one into the characters mind.

      I missed that, where did she realize it? I know that she did because she brings it up to him after she sings, but where did she realize?
