tied with decision to leave as my film of the year so far

You think so? I feel like a lot of movies I was really hyped for kinda been a little let down?

Do you have a rough list of ya top movies so far?

Both Fire movies huh?

yeah I need to check out todd fields other movies asap

saw this last night. let's talk turkey

Tell me ya review bro you know I respect ya opinion

Ok so I like this movie. First, Cate Blanchett really does disappear into the role of Lydia Tar, from the very start, you see that she has completely embodied this (fictional, might I add) character. it's a master class in acting for sure.

Ok on to the story. This movie is pretty long, I wasn't bothered so much by the length but I will say this movie takes it time getting started.

The movie starts with the credits which is.. okay very pretentious but pretty bold. Then after 6-8 minutes of credits, we get a 9 minute interview scene to start, then a 10 minute lunch scene, then a 10-12 minute long-take in a lecture (which is really great).

These are the scenes we get to START the movie, to bring you into the world of Lydia TÁR. but really it's just a whole lot mfs talking about s***. Once we realize what the story is about tho, it becomes a lot more engaging.

It's a character study moreso than anything else and I can appreciate that.

I liked, didn't love, this movie. Solid filmmaking. There's no score which is not to say there's no music, this film is about a conductor of course. There just wasn't that much for me to latch on to emotionally speaking. Will definitely rewatch tho.

Damn 6 minutes of ending credits to start the film followed by the long interview. Interesting choice.

black screen, ending credits... really interesting choice there

I sort of like the credits thing. It’s like, the director is saying hold the f*** up, this is a show. Imma lay this out with the buildup and anticipation it deserves.

Curious to know if it grows on you. This is really a second watch type of film.

Kinda reminds me of how Vice had end credits in the middle of the movie as a joke

when drive my car didn't have a title card for like 30/40 minutes

Bro you know what…ima give that film a try again. I bought the damn thing off Criterion so might as well. It was a struggle the first watch tho

I do like s*** like that tho. The departed didn’t have its opening credits for like 20 minutes.
Good time took a while to get to the opening credits.
F***in Many didn’t have the title card “Mandy” til like mid way threw lol

yeah those are all fire

6 minutes of credits in this TAR one though definitely a choice

Star Wars inspired? I can’t remember how long the opening credits run for wit Star Wars movies

I kind of saw it as "let's get all the unimportant s*** out the way first so I can give you the full unfiltered experienced start to finish"

Yea we'll see!

I watched drive my car after a 12hr work shift. you don't know struggle my nigga

Struggle? Sounds like you got the best sleep ever

she should be recognized for the work she put in
