Hi There quick question which year was the movie maestro because there are two movies called maestro and I want to add the movie to my watch list which consists of one hundred something movies and a few tv shows
“i understand it, i just don’t like it” is the REALEST thing i’ve heard in a while!!
Was wondering about which movie she said this. Poor Things!
“as a Bradley Cooper anti” MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD 😭
OH MY GOD ! Thank you Hannah for mentioning how Dune is inspired by Arabic culture and Islam. So many similarities that I was baffled not a lot of people have made the connection.
it’s just so overt, you’d have to intentionally miss the point?? 😭
@@AClockworkReader I haven't even watched or read it and it's extremely obvious to me!
The author Frank Herbert in an interview said that his Arab friends considered the book more than a work of fiction. The movie actually downplays the elements of Islam in the book in many ways, which is disappointing. It's also based on Sabres of Paradise which was a book about Imam Shamyl, a Muslim leader who led a war against the Russian empire in the Caucuses. The odd metacommentary is the book is written semi as a historical lesson for westerners on how to combat Soviet foreign policy and many westerners at the time (19th century) wanted to fund Shamyl as a proxy warrior against Russian imperial expansion (in the same way the Atriedes want to use the Fremen in their proxy war against the Harkonnens and the Emperor).
😂i mean the west hasn't received much exposure to islam
As I herd there where lot of influence for the book including Laurence of Arabia.And James Herbert’s issues of organised religion.I’m sure Arabic culture was part of that

I love that you unapologetically brought this up and pointed out the hypocrisy. Whether people like to admit it or not, media is political, and such films reflect our society and history.
Love you Hannah 🫶 we need more people like you in this world
I don't understand humans. I just don't. How can anyone see for themselves what's been going on and still turn a blind eye because it disrupts their quaint little happy life?Or worse, still believe the propaganda and support the geno sidal maniacs?

Reign fundamentally just has ridiculously good chemistry between the two leads to work with that just intoxicates you
Who agrees that Hannah is like a big sister🤚🏻💖
the eldest daughter gene is strong within me
@@AClockworkReader yes yes Hannah Definitely you are like my big sister😭😭😭
Spesk for urself.... she's a MOTHER to me
I'm older than Hannah but I agree with this comment
love you, but a part of me died inside when you said you didn't like Timothée
Young Royals is incredible!! Best. series. finale. ever 😭
reign being a guilty pleasure is so real
An hour-long Hannah video? With movie recommendations? Grabbing my softest blanket and comfort snacks as we speak
No cuz why do I wanna watch Dance With Devils now based on Hannah's increasingly unhinged descriptions 😭 the clary and jace comment was the last straw 😭
don’t do it…..but like…👀
Me toooo
Girl you NEED to do a fanfiction video im BEGGING you. I need this in my life rn 😭 like all your fav fan fictions, or specific recs idk anythingggg
Also love this vid it was so fun
yessss, commenting so that she sees itttt
If you liked Young Royals I think you’d really love Skam, the original Norwegian version. The cast feels like very real awkward teenagers, it’s funny without trying too hard and season three has a lot (if not more) of the yearning and angst that Young Royals has.
Was literally on the verge of a mental breakdown (time for a Raven Cycle reread) and then got a new Hannah vlog. So happy ❤
If you haven’t seen it already, I recommend watching Derry Girls. Super funny and wholesome tv show based in Northern Ireland during the 1990s.
I am generally not really into romcoms, but my absolute favourite is About Time. Maybe the reason why I like it so much is because it is not solely about romantic love, but also about love for family and friends and it is generally about life as well. Highly recommend to anyone who has not watched it :)
I LOVE ABOUT TIME. like, I wanna live in that movie and be apart of that family.
About Time is my favorite too!
It's my FAV!!like I've watched it more than any movie I've watched, what I like most about it is that it focuses also on life,death and that no moment is guaranteed.
Omg i love crimson peak - it is so underrated!
YES, YES Charles Melton’s performance literally carried May December and him not getting nominated is insane 😭
Not me live reacting in the comments but also its SO good to see you Hannah and i reflected so much while looking at this video bc i realized you are responsible for so much of my taste, that we know enjoy the same things before i even get your recs, and what great taste it is❤️ this channel is like a warm big hug and i hope youre doing good and taking care of yourself most importantly!
Hannah loving Sense8 makes me so happy, that show is not talked about enough 🙌🏻
Not an ad for Poor Things playing during this video💀 UA-cam . . . Jail
noooooo!
"prepare urself"
I'm sat 🐥
If you like romance anime, I recommand The Apothecary diaries and Skip and Loafer. One is an well crafted historical drama, the other one is a slice of life wholesome comedy
i’ve stared both of them and i like them so far!
This is really funny but I love Maomao and Mitsumi with my whole heart, but the male protagonists are eh- alright. Idk why I’m not as obsessed with them but I really appreciate their character growth. But the girls and plot especially in the apothecary diaries is truly some of the best in a long time
Skip and Loafer is so cute 😭😭💖💖
Very much appreciate that you actually made this video since it clearly took a while, but like I've said before, always appreciate when Bookterneters talk film/tv/other mediums of storytelling cuz !!!!
I enjoyed “Poor Things.” It was pretty, funny, weird, and entertaining. However, I don’t think it can be wholeheartedly labeled as feminist. There are certainly feminist themes (sexual liberation, female autonomy, etc.), but none that I think are explored in an effectively feminist way. Most definitely, it suffered from the male gaze.
I nearly choked on my water laughing when you were talking about Dance with Devils 😂😂😂
As someone WHO DOES NOT enjoy any iteration of the Pinocchio story (including the novel) Guillermo del Toro's version of it is one of my favourite animated films of all time. It's breathtaking.
26:08 thank you sm! Noone talks about these things except you. That's why I love your channel!!!
If you want to watch something like Young Roylas, watch Skam. It's a norwegian teen series. There are four seasons and they are all great 😊
i’ve been wanting to watch that one!!
I've also been enjoying Heartbreak High! Leans much more Sex Education than Young Royals, but there's certainly overlap in the appeal.
Love this show soooooo much!!!
Skam is sooooo good. Season 3 !!!
yeesss then if you really like it there are so many other versions you can watch. og skam is obviously the best but i like skam france too
Almost an hour with Hannah! Loved it❤ thank you for your great recommendations
I love-hate this video bc it’s reminding me of the 85+ movies on my “to watch” list that I have not watched yet😭😭
Oh my god, thank you for loving Saltburn as much as I do! It immediately became one of my favorite films ever & I find myself thinking about that movie a lot!
Hey hannah as someone who used to watch kdrama a lot before but kinda in a kdrama slump for a couple of years, I totally recommend Queen of tears! It just ignites my kdrama love again
If you liked Bottoms, you’ll love bodies, bodies, bodies!! Where one is a satire romcom, the other is a satire slasher and its HILARIOUS. Rachel Sennott is also in it and shes so good in these comedies
Also watch Shiva Baby with Rachel Sennot, it's my fave movie of hers I've seen
i LOVED bodies bodies bodies! i watched it last year and it was amazing!!
I loved bodies bodies bodies!!! It was so funny honestly and that ending 🤣😭
you should totally make more videos like this! I really enjoyed it
FINALLYYYY someone gets the obsession with Anatomy of a Fall. I love this movie so much I’ve forced everyone to watch it with me
The first hunger games film is so gritty i do love it
I would highly recommend the Artful Dodger (Disney +) it’s sooo good. It’s light but also dark, slow burn romance, drama, high stakes etc.
im so glad someone else is struggling with reading this year- ive fully been in my watching era and it makes me feel so guilty that im not using the time for reading but im really not feeling it.
I love Notting Hill. The friends dynamic in this movie is superb
oh my gosh Hannah you have no idea how much i needed thissss
If Crimson Peak is your first Del Toro film then you have to watch Pan's Labyrinth!!! It's dark and it's scary but it's also a fairy tale!
I also Adore "Love, Rosie", I saw "Never let me go" in 2010 when it came out and remember loving after having read the book it but that was a long time ago, "One Day" was heartbreaking and incredible - I sobbed too.
hi, i don’t know if you’ll ever see this, but i HIGHLY recommend watching a kdrama called My Dearest, it’s the best kdrama i’ve seen, like probably ever. it’s a historical kdrama set in the 1600s when korea was invaded by the qing dynasty, and the story and romance are so so beautiful. the acting is phenomenal as well, and i myself am not a huge fan or enjoyer of historical kdramas, but My Dearest literally made me rewatch it (i’m rewatching it rn) because it’s THAT good.
YESSSS FINALLY SOMEONE TALKS ABOUT Crimson peak
yes to the love for anatomy of a fall 😭👏🏼 literally still thinking abt that film its so so good
if you liked a sign of affection then you should try watching this kdrama called twinkling watermelon which also has deaf characters involved in a romance as a subplot. It’s like a coming of age show and it’s so comforting, has found family and the writing and acting are good imo.
You using the word "classic" about movies from the late 2000s has me booking prostrate exams over here...
Love the video! Please do more talking about movies and tv shows 🖤
If you haven’t, watch good omens. Idk why, but I feel like you might like it. I binged it recently and loved it so much.
I 100% get how Poor Things made people feel uncomfortable and why it wasn't their cup of tea. I found it a very raw and taboo movie. Calling this a feminist movie because it tells the story of a woman and has sex is driving me crazy. It is not a feminist movie, It's a movie about the human experience, it is a film that has many phenomenological and existential concerns and deals with very taboo topics. What I will say is that I believe that falling in the "taboo topic trap" as a viewer makes a viewer weak...? What I mean by that is that I saw a lot of people critisizing the movie for many superficial and meretricious reasons. Also for what I've seen (and Hannah you have actually ben an exeption to that) is that people not liking this film for all those superficial taboo reasons actually critisize the ones that do? I think art is very important to be discussed and calling people out for liking a movie just because you don't agree with the way it explores sexuality and taboo topics is kinda dumb sorry-not-sorry. Have a discussion like an adult so that both parties of an argument can grow. All the love!!
I agree with you, I loved Poor Things for many reasons, one including her newfound desires. I’ve always said I’m a person who loves taboo books and movies, and I didn’t feel that way until I lived a taboo life myself. I think it’s okay to love a movie just because it’s taboo and Emma stone is in it. And beautiful Mark 😂❤️ it’s a great mixture of eerie, artistic, confusion, celebration, and perf soundtrack!
I sobbed after Past Lives for so long that the theater lights came on and they started cleaning and i couldn’t get myself to stop crying. I think that movie hit me in a place so very personal that it meant everything to me. Love it so much.
I'm glad to know your hunger games brainrot is still going strong because i have NOT moved on either 😭 I wonder where the ballad movie would fit in your ranking ? We will wait however long it takes you to make that video about the movies, but best believe that when you're ready, i WILL be seated.
Also it was lovely to listen to you talk passionately about an interest other than books!
i think i’d put ballad above mockingjay pt 1, so 4/5. but i’d also have to watch it again to be sure!
Omg i agree with you for so many things especially for Jujutsu Kaisen. I was also in a kdrama slump but Twinkling Watermelon get me out and is now in my top 3 kdrama, and I've watched quite a lot. Love your videos ✨️
Finally someone who feels the same way about Notting Hill 😭 thank you for validating me lol
19:05 that is so true. But for me personally, in my experience we don't really get devestating turns in our life romantically until every subtly quite sadness seeps in and sort of becomes a turning point of realisation that hits you out of nowhere. Which is what I loved about Past lives and that's why it feels so accurate and realistic almost.
P.s- I have loved subtle acting, realism and quite movies all my life. So if anyone have recs on that, I would love that!
omg i can SO relate to the obsession with films over movies. I'm wrapping up my last semester of junior year at college and it's been a LOT. so by the time i can wind down i don't feel like reading or writing bc that's all I do for assignments (creative writing major)
love rosie praise in the first 10 minutes 😭🙏🩷
thank you, my queen 🛐💗
Honestly, I’d adore a video where you just talk about the hunger games. The differences between the books and movies, what you like about them, your ranks, and even just drop a recommendation list for good Everlark fan fictions! (Please)
You are not the only girly going through it this year.🥲
(I loved the video about the prequel you made and I wished it was longer 😅)
I can’t wait to see what you do next and I hope your reading picks up if that’s what you want!
I will always be here for the love, rosie supremacy! the film adaptation when you consider that in the book (where rainbows end), the story was told through bits of correspondence is so great. will always be a 5 star one for me as well 💗
i love how you unapologetically say you're against the genocide of Palestinians! it's sad not many in youtube are doing that...
I just got out of a breakup and I need a new hyper fixation. This is making me excited to try getting into film, as someone who also doesn’t watch movies and likes watching the same things over and over again!
Film editor here. You and I have very different tastes it seems.
Spoilers. Also, I'm only gonna talk about last years' movies that I've watched, not the others.
Saltburn- I do not get the hype. I agree more with Broey Deschanel on this one than you. I liked it overall, but it did feel like a cross between a dulled-down version of Pasolini's Teorama and, of course, Ripley (both the book and the movie version).
May December- Absolutely loved it. From the hot dog line to the "father-to-son" dialogue on the rooftop, it was some of the funniest kino this whole year. This is probably Haynes' funniest movie. I shock-laughed so many times.
The Holdovers- A pleasant Christmas movie, lacking the ferocity of Payne's first collab with Giamatti.
Poor Things- A nice coming-of-age drama told in a Shelley-punk format. I loved it. Vehemently disagree with you on Stone's Oscar. This is the most demanding role in terms of physical comedy that she has ever had. In some scenes, she seems to be channelling Chaplin. Loved her in this.
The question of "Is X feminist?" discourse is poison for me (I agree with Lindsay Ellis that that question should be destroyed. Movies cannot be feminist. Feminism is a lens of analysis. A piece of art cannot be feminist or anti-feminist or whatever. Same goes for Marxist, or whatever -ist there is).
Past Lives- Agree with you mostly. This is the best movie on your list for me. As Film Crit Hulk says, dramatic clarity is so rare to see these days. So it's good to see it done so well that a shot of two characters standing apart on a pavement, waiting for a cab, can feel so incredibly alive. Song is a master at her new craft
Anatomy of a Fall- Agree with you on this one. Incredible turn from Triet and Huller. But the most scarring moments for me are a few horrifying images constructed from the sense-memory of a child. IYKYK.
Dune 2- Meh, it's alright. Villenueve has never been for me. I still think Enemy is his best work.
Oppenheimer- It's mostly because of Jennifer Lame's editing that this works so well. It's so thinly held together, like a single egg holds an entire baked pie crust together. Without Lame, this would have turned into a pile of incomprehensible nonsense. The editing turns this into a fever dream floating on a river of guilt and the horrifying need to technologically progress ourselves.
Maestro- Disagree with you on Bradley but also disagree on this movie lol. I loved A Star is Born and will remember those two cuts near the end (IYKYK) for a long time. This movie was not remotely well directed, and the editing was at times bizzarre. There is actual connective tissue and causation missing between conflicts and resolution of those conflicts sometimes, to the point where it doesn't feel finished. How Cooper came up with this after A Star is Born is a mystery.
Killers of the Flower Moon- Incredible for me. Scorsese's humility and the willingness to learn new things put this right up there with the greatest oil epics like There Will Be Blood or Jarhead. Also it's so clear how hard he's been trying to get The Searchers out of his system and he's done it now, hopefully. Thelma Schoonmaker remains the greatest editor alive. This should've won Best Picture,
American Fiction- Oscar-bait seems to be evolving, because I would definitely consider this to be one. A terrible adaptation of a book whose best moments only make sense in the book, because they're playing with literary form. Most of the satire is completely gone. If you want a version of this that doesn't feel as toothless and afraid to offend the same white liberal demographic that it is trying to criticize, watch Spike Lee's Bamboozled.
The Zone of Interest- The world's first Hannah Arendt movie, perhaps? The two temporal cuts near the end are devastating. There are exactly two hilarious moments in this movie (one involving a letter and another is the last two shots of the film) and they both land perfectly. Loved this one. Glazer has always directed every genre of movie like an alien, like he's never watched any other film from that genre. Under the Skin, Birth and Sexy Beast are all testament to that.
Additional movie recs from 2023 A.V. Rockwell's A Thousand And One, D. Smith's Kokomo City, Albert Serra's Pacifiction, Tran Anh Hung's The Taste of Things, Wes Anderson's Roald Dahl short films, Wes Anderson's Asteroid City, Alice Rohrwacher's La Chimera, Victor Erice's Close Your Eyes. Kitty Green's The Royal Hotel, Koji Fukada's Love Life.
NOT DANCE WITH DEVILS I WATCHED THST BACK WHEN I WAS 13 AND EVEN BACK THEN I KNEW IT WAS RIDICULOUS 😭 Genuinely so curious at what made you pick it up Hannah 🤣
ANOTHER WIN FOR ANATOMY OF A FALL HIVE!!😭🙏
i have the strongest feeling you'd love frieren, skip to loafer, and apothecary diaries !! romantic animes are so back
You really need to see The apothecary diaries anime, I’ve been OBSESEED ✨, it was a big surprise to me. The story it’s nothing alike but it reminds me to Yona of the dawn.
highly recommend Encounter for seaside romance kdramas!! not really small town (its set in sokcho) but its very sweet, great soundtrack... and the first episode takes place in havana!!
The Killers of the Flower Moon book is worth reading if you liked the film! They take different approaches so it's not a repetitive experience and it is a really excellently written book
Yes CRIMSON PEAK!! Finally someone who loves it as much as I do 😂
it’s just SO GOOD!!
The way you felt about The Holdovers is the exact same way i felt about Past Lives 😅 I just felt like "it's a story we've seen a thousand times/it's just a movie not an 'oscar' movie/etc"
What other movies?? 🤔
Dune part 2 is probably my favorite movie of the year
Thanks for going through all of these! I'll watch some.
Also, my sister and I were huge Reign fans as teenagers. Yes, terrible show but we were OBSESSED
I have been waiting for this video!!!
Omg you NEED TO WATCH GUILLERMOS' OTHER MOVIES!!! His entire catalogue is gold!! I love his brain and his art. The shape of water, pinoccio, El Laberinto del Fauno, (which admittedly I haven't watched 😅 I'm waiting to watch it when the season is best. Maybe spring is the right time tho).
Also, the man is like the wholesome godfather of Mexico. We love him, he seems like a wonderful human being ❤
+1 I still need to watch Crimson Peak. I watched Pan's Labyrinth (El Laberinto del Fauno) first, and wanted to watch his entire collection. Pan's Labyrinth is my favorite film. I hope Hannah loves it too.
Youre just like me with Reign 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i was also extremely obsessed with Frary 💜
Hannah in her film era, love it! I am a big cinema fan. I am lucky to get cheap movie tickets so I go cinema regularly for any movie whose trailer interests me enough :D
you should definitely watch Fellow Travelers if you’re in the mood for a show to rip your heart out and stomp it, my best friend and I were screaming at the TV and sobbing by the end of it. it was so so so well done, so much nuance, a beautiful yet heartbreaking story with great acting!
“Something in the Rain” I would die if you saw this drama. BEST KDRAMA EVER ❤
54 movies and tv shows in a 54min video, love that detail!
I'll always love My Best Friend's Wedding omgggg it's such an interesting subversion of romcoms, and it occupies a similar place in my heart that Book Lovers does because of that
Totally agree with your opinion on Poor Things. Theres one specific scene early in the film where she’s blowing bubbles that made me turn it off and collect myself before continuing two days later. It just made me feel icky.
Lily Gladstone is excellent in everything. Certain Women isn't overall my fave but I think it's worth the watch for her performance.
Okay this might be my favourite video I've seen this week. At this point I'm pretty sure I would watch you review trash bags and be entertained. You can articulate your thoughts and opinions in such an insightful and coherent way I can only ask you for one thing - please upload more
I'm so happy to see some Crimson Peak love! I feel like the marketing really let it down because people expect horror with a side of gothic, but it was far more gothic with a side of horror, to put it simply. It really is a hauntingly beautiful movie, and the detail GDT put into it was astounding.
I understand that it’s a gothic horror and everything and I love that movie too, but you saying that “they always have to incorporate incest” and then talking about how much you enjoyed crimson peak was so funny to me
Hannah... your taste is impecable, I also didn't like poor things i hated watching it and you described perfectly my thoughts about the whole discourse online. I also loved anatomy of a fall, it was also my top pick for the oscars, sandra huller was amazing, i need more of her and justine triet.
I also agree that young royals had the perfect ending omg.
All of Us Strangers will break your heart and mend it and break it again. the cast is tiny, just Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal, and two actors playing parents, so it almost feels like a stage production at times. I'm currently grieving my mother and found it so validating.
my favourite tv show EVER, Black Sails, is now on Netflix US, and I think you would love it!! starts off slow but builds so so deliciously.
i have been doing the same, reading less but consuming stories in different forms
Love Atonement, it's very heartbreaking, but one of the most aesthetically pleasing movies I've watched. The Bear is also very good and obviously Dune is fantastic.
If you haven't seen them yet, I would recommend Outlander, one of the best series ever!! The Queens Gambit, Desperate Housewives (classic) and Movies I looove Brooklyn, I don't know how many times I watched it, it's just beautiful :)
I love your videos. They are like my comfort watch ❤
When I was 15 I loved dance with devils because it was so funny to me 😂 I will never forget the rap of the blonde guy with long hair 😭
I really liked the bear. I think it was the first time I saw a show that depicted so well anxiety, that sticky feeling you can’t shake off. I also spotted references to a French movie « la haine « when Richie makes faces in front of his mirror. I am not American so at first I thought they were in New York and some things were kind of enigmatic to me but it was interesting to watch !
I too watch things just because an actor I like is in it lol I feel you
Anatomy of a Fall was wonderful!!! Still don't know who the killer was...
One Day brought me to tears...so good!
My jaw hit the floor when you said “and then turn it into a musical” HUH
