I didn't really understand the movie but I liked it anyway haha
A movie about depression and hitting rock bottom. The question remains: Can you pull yourself out of the pit? Artfully directed.
Seen it for the fourth time and I think it’s good to rewatch it like every 5 years or something since it’s about a current collective fear
the obsession for filling of an existential void. the sickness of modern city stagnation. the desire for ultimate sanitation. you want out?
Strange and scary in a really great way. Great main character too
Just from the opening scene theme and amazing music I knew this one would be very special.
Pretty interesting for a debut. Stellar performance from Moore.
Mood piece hinges on Todd Haynes’ atmospheric direction and Julianne Moore’s layered performance. It worked for me.
Immaculately shot character study, but remove from the moment and 30 more years of "chronic gluten intolerance" have robbed its sting a bit.
Announces its intentions immediately and sticks to them relentlessly. Beautifully shot and a flooring performance from Moore.
