from the directors of Swiss Army Man (and Interesting Ball ofc!)
seeing this in a bit, can't wait. The hype for this has been kinda insane | the last tweet before I saw the movie directly mentioned and put it up there with Eternal Sunshine and Fight Club so my expectations really couldn't have been higher considering those are both top 5 movies for me. May have been a biiit overhyped because of that but it was still VERY good/fun!
I just love how unique/fresh Daniels' directorial voice is. Even if you don't love their movies you gotta at least respect it, they have a style that no one else is even remotely similar to
I definitely preferred the first half-ish more just for the sense of DISCOVERY, it was such a blast. Once the movie had shown just about its full hand it still went in some satisfying directions but wasn't quite as thrilling
Yeoh and the girl who played Joy were both so good. Thought I'd never seen her before but apparently she was in Shang-Chi too (funnily enough so was Yeoh)? Quite the upgrade for both of them here (:

The intro for Jobu was deeefinitely the highlight of the movie for me, that was incredible. I could've done with another big scene along those lines with Jobu although there were obviously other inventive scenes after like the googly eyes "fight"
The rock scene(s) are a somewhat close second (: Leave it to Daniels to make you emotional over a farting corpse or two stationary rocks |
8/10 and def a movie I'll own/rewatch when the blu-ray's out |
