Surprised there hasn't been a thread for this masterpiece yet

how was it viet? been intimidated by the length and some people saying its a bit slow so i havent dived into it yet

Streaming on HBO Max on March 2.

i want to watch it but 3 hours bruh

It was beautiful fam, its an unconventional movie plot wise and a slow burn so its not that accessible but if you enjoy these type of movies you're in for a treat. Really glad Oscars giving it more recognition.

flew by for me in theatres, it was immersive and meditative af

Hitting HBO Max next week

Hasn’t been in theaters where I live so I haven’t been able to watch

Banger movie. I hate 99% of movies that are longer than 1 hour 30 mins but I sat through 3 hours of this s*** like it was nothin. The final scene of the stage play was awesome and I kinda wish the movie ended on that note.

you saving for the theatre experience?

Would love to, but if it’s more than 2 hours away by the time it hits Max I might unfortunately have to just watch at home

But imma keep checking

would def recommend catching in theatres, I find for quieter movies like this being in theatres helps make it a more immersive experience since theres less distractions, it's easy to check out and go on your phone in a 3 hour movie if you're watching at home

I loved this movie and the soundtrack is so good even though it’s 3 hours it feels more like 2 1/2 and that’s because the intro is like 20 mins. But I do feel like it’s long for a reason. The director is making you work and actually earn the relationship between Kafuku and Misaki.

She really drive his car

same

My favorite of the year

You aren’t the only one on the ending. Director said someone came up to him and said he loved the movie until the ending. Director laughed telling the story and said he likes a little “imperfection” with that ending

(I like the ending.)

Beep beep doot doot ya

wheel better

Wasn't too into this one

Liked the acting and tone of it all tho. The music was great too, and it was shot real well

What didn't work for you? The plot?

deserves to win best screenplay

Solid movie

caught this in theaters, s/o my local museum. I love murakami so I did enjoy this movie despite how slow moving it is.

Did you think it was a better adaptation than Burning?
