I grew hair just to be able to twirl it rn
Is there any other way to enjoy this delight

you too?
wtf?
"I love when friends make movies together. "
And she did, with Rachel Sennott. Pure love.
It should be illegal to be this lovable
I'm working on the legislation as we speak.
Republicans are on it.
@@ruling528You’re pathetic lmao. Someone not sharing your taste doesn’t make them stupid.
@@ruling528 Is she stupid because you don’t like her 😂😂😂
@@ruling528maybe try being happy some time
Between the prepared list on her phone and the Radiohead t-shirt I feel like this was the closest the comments section has been to having one of us in the closet
Who are you??
I love that she's a Radiohead fan! I've seen her talk about it elsewhere. And her interest and taste in movies is also really great
@@Arawn505I’m surprised she still listens to Radiohead after them being so vocal with supporting Israel’s current genocide. Ayo has spoken out against it.
@@MK_2023.that’s how people are when they’re not terminally online
@@Pat_Springleaf you liked your own comment 😅
Ayo is a dedicated film nerd...love following her on Letterbox'd
I think my favorite review of hers is the review for Bottoms. So simple and effective 😂
What’s her Letterbox’d? Would love to follow her on there
@@KungFuDanda1 Her user is familayo
@@KungFuDanda1 her name is her letterbox'd
You can tell she takes her craft so seriously. Love it
She seems like she would be a great best friend
Me
Congrats Ms. Edebiri on surpassing Martin Scorsese as the number one most followed Letterboxd user!
How exciting! I love her reviews 😅
As if that's something to celebrate. Pathetic.
@@vittoriostorarobuzz killer
@@vittoriostoraroyou must be fun at parties huh
@@vittoriostoraro i’d celebrate ayo edebiri eating a donut if i could
ayo edebiri + radiohead + criterion collection = the holy trinity
that is the holy trinity although i'm still waiting for that dual NIN/radiohead tour.
@@thevoid99omg is this a rumor or something because that would be heaven
@@thevoid99 that'd go so hard tbh 😩😩
@@thevoid99 Would never happen. Trent Reznor supports Palestine.

I could have watched another two hours of her picking out DVDs. Her smile is so infectious.
High & Low is soo good, it takes you one hour to notice they haven't even left the living room.
I watched it earlier this week. Top 3 Kurosawa in my book.
It's a great film!
I never noticed it at all! 😱
And Spike Lee and Denzel Washington are remaking it. Hasn't that basic premise (kidnapping the wrong kid) been done elsewhere more recently? "Full Circle" on HBO?
No spoilers! 😂
I never stop smiling while she's smiling
She is the mother I never had. She is the sister everybody would want. She is the friend that everybody deserves. I don’t know a better person.
She is an American actress, a comedian, and a television writer who has won a Golden Globe Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and a Primetime Emmy Award. In case anyone doesn't know
Preach!
I don’t. Know. A better person
You ate that ❤
You don’t know her.
"High and Low", "Charade" and "Thief" are some of my all time favorite films! More I see her, more I think she's amazing.
THIS IS A SOLID LIST, I love it when actors and directors actually recommend movies I haven't watched before
She's so relatable/normal it's refreshing. I feel like I am sitting in a class in college and we are all sharing our favorite movies and she's just another friend/classmate.
Ayo is like the people's princess...She is such a gem of a talent and so lovable!
This instantly shot up to one of my all time favorite closet vids. Love her
The NYU dramatic writing degree jumped out!! Loved hearing her insight, and i loved her shouting out Nigerian creatives! I'm going to recommend Eyimofe for my dad and I to watch.
Eyimofe is such a great film, and I’d argue the first properly good Nigerian film to ever be released. I sincerely hope we get made films of that quality out of Nigeria soon. It’s very much lagging behind considering how huge Nollywood is.
She was so adorable showing her joy of film (and the admission she loves the Criterion sales) that I had to add Tampop to my want list immediately!
Tampopo!
Don't watch Tampopo on an empty stomach. I first saw it in 1985 in a theater in San Francisco's Japantown. Walking out afterwords I was so hungry when I found myself surrounded by Ramin shops and other Japanese restaurants.
2:28 I've always had this theory that Owen was the secret sauce that made the early Wes films more human/grounded. Ayo knows what's uppppppp
She is absolutely awesome on The Bear…happy to see her career blowing up!
The second she mentioned Tampopo, I damn near cried from happiness
calm yourself padiwan
How is she so impossibly witty & charming. I adore her
Easily impressed
She is a true cinephile. Very knowledgeable and absolutely infectious. She seems like she would be an amazing person to watch movies with. I bet she was voted most likely to succeed in her high school; she's definitely doing that and rightly so!
Ayo’s been killing it lately; from her TV/movie/voice acting roles to the episode she directed in The Bear which was my favorite of the season.
Not to mention, she has the best LB reviews ever 😂
I still think about the Mad Max review randomly in my day to day
@@kidkangaroo5213 her Empire Strikes Back one kills me too
@@715creeks you mean the reviews that just write cringe jokes and don’t go into actual detail? The absolute downfall of the site
“Disgustingly greedy” Nah you gotta go full Barry Jenkins in there lmao
i already loved her but To Sleep With Anger mention⁉️⁉️ YUP THATS MY GIRL
My favorite of her bunch.
The last few closet videos have been excellent. Great hosts devoid of arrogance and sharing their views with us. I could listen to this lady talk about dozens of films in that closet for hours very happily.
This is already one of my favorite closet videos, she's so sweet.
Love a star who is also a cinephile ❤
Ayo Edebiri world domination
Ayo is definitely my favorite rising star to break out within the last couple years. She's incredibly funny, clever/smart, and personable/relatable. Her Letterboxd account is as phenomenal as her stand-up and her performances on film and television, in theaters and on streaming.
Off topic but it’s so refreshing to see a Black woman reach her level of success just being herself and without being sexual or stereotypical. She’s so important to me.
Ayoooo! Love her in The Bear and Bottoms. She has great taste!
"I'm on these sales. I'm getting these 50% off DVDs" Lol, won't be surprised if I run into her at a Barnes & Nobles one day then. One of us! One of us!
I didn't think I could love Ayo more but Criterion proved me wrong! Also, Eyimofe is such a great film, I saw it at a festival years ago and rarely see it mentioned, I didn't even know it was part of the collection so glad to see it's getting some love
The only misstep she made was not going for the boxsets 😅 gotta get your money's worth
Tampopo and Babette's Feast are 2 of my favourite films about talented chefs.
drop the full version NOWWW i could watch her for hours shes so funny and endearing
This was really sweet, you can tell Ayo really likes watching films
I love her energy!
Gosh Ayo. Can’t get any more adorable.
Charade is an incredibly fun and underrated movie.
Ayo is literally the best! People's princess fr fr
Her description of Bottle Rocket is so real, that film has HEART
I always love when fellow film nerds discover Kurosawa's best movie. High & Low is just perfect cinema in every way possible.
I like her movie choices, especially with High And Low, The Funeral and Charade.
Right out of the gate with High and Low. Didn’t see that coming. Respect. Her picks just kept getting better.
this could be a meme 4:49
I remember following her on Letterboxd and honestly I’ve never seen an actor so relatable in their love for movies, i mean QT talks about old movies all the time, but Ayo feels like any of us, just so eager to watch movies and so happy to talk about them, her excitement about movies really lightens my day, she seems so nice and joyful and kickass and also happens to be extremely talented and beautiful. So glad to see her getting the acclaim and love she deserves
Her taking out the time to shout out Eyimofe, a Nigerian movie on Criterion really makes my heart sing 🥹 Ayo you are you who you say you are, we love you!
Love her character in the Bear and she seams just as likeable in person. Would love to watch movies with her!
“A movie made by pals.” Is so perfect 😂❤ love her sm
I love what she said about "High and low" ❤
I love how she came prepared. :D
Love her in The Bear, love her in the Criterion closet. Interesting choices too. Thief is incredible
You can't help but feel such glee and giddiness when Ayo's getting goofy
WOW! An actress under 30 who knows her stuff AND still collects physical media! Wish her all the best in her career!!
I could listen to her talk about movies for hours. Amazing picks Ayo she definitely one of us with that prepared list for the 50% off sale.
Absolutely yes Juzo Itami
probably one of the best ones of these
Feels like a good place to plug Ayo’s old podcast “Iconography”. Great listen if you want to hear her and her friends talk about art, plus she has an ep where she goes into her love of radiohead
I literally just hit up my local Barnes and Noble for the Criterion sale. It’s nice knowing Ayo participates in this July activity.
She’s just about my favourite human being. Great taste, great humour, great talent!
She's such a delight omg this is the perfect for her because it suits her so well :)
My heart skipped a beat when she picked and talked about High and Low!!!
I don't know this charming woman's work, but I like her list and want to know more about her.
Watch The Bear
The Bear is very accessible, its stressful but you’ll get into it very quickly. Bottoms is not for everyone, very quirky goofy gen-z comedy but super enjoyable, also you’ve probably heard her voice work on the latest TMNT movie, or Inside Out 2, and a guest role in Abbott Elementary was also in Theater Camp. Besides that shes got a lot lined up so im sure you’ll see her somewhere eventually
AYYYOOOOO!!!! MY GIRL! MY WORLD! MY BEST OF FRIENDS! I LOVE HER
Gotta love a guest who admits what we all do-wait for the 50% off sale.
i hope she directs soon, i love when an actor is a film nerd
What joy radiates from this video!! How wonderful!! Looking forward to checking out these films!
What? This list was like basically my collection so far. Ayo you're awesome. Bottle Rocket and Thief are highlights
Not to be weird, but she is so pretty.
The t- shirt!!!!🔥🔥🔥
I was thinking the same thing.. it’s pretty neat…!
Yes to the t-shirt
Mid taste in music
One of the most universally like-able celebrities ever
I’m loving all the content we’re getting of ayo recently
YES!! Bottle Rocket is so good
finally an intervirw that you dont have to schedule a time to watch it!!! short and sweet, perfect interview and loved ayo in this obviously
It’s cool that she grabbed Micheal Manns Thief
I know - it's one of my all time favorite films. The writing, the cinematography, the actors (James Caan is 🔥!!!) and that score by Tangerine Dream! Just....wow!!
@@bored1caAbsolutely! That Tangerine Dream score is killer!
The used the score in one of the best episodes of The Bear.
she grabbed the DVD tho 😭
@@domclegg1225 but she still chose it so c'mon take heart in that!
Real life Goat. Cannot wait to see where her career takes her
watching these as someone who doesn't watch movies is fascinating. I wish people didn't catch so much flack for not watching this or that, because I/anyone of the like get to appreciate people's passion from a whole different perspective. It is similar to the enjoyment of listening to someone share excitedly about an animal you've never heard of or a country you've never been to before
love her and i'm so happy y'all brought her on!! she deserves her flowers
She’s so stinking adorable.
Another Black Woman who loves the iconic Japanese film directors. And I thought I was the only one! This made me so happy.😀😀😀
I just got so hype to see this pop up 😭
The Funeral is on my list. Great recommendation.
anything by Juzo Itami is worth watching!
"Can we get Owen Wilson back on the keyboard?" Ayo is speaking my language. I've been saying this for years. Owen and Wes, write another movie together! Hell, write Bottle Rocket 2 -- Dignan getting out of prison, being reissued the yellow jumpsuit, getting picked up by Luke. Let's go!
I’m in the middle of The Bear S03 right now. Gonna like so I can come back and watch soon. She’s a great talent.
Juzo Itami's The Funeral is an EXCELLENT choice! 😍🍿🥤
She's the sweetest. I loved that she chose "High and Low" also!
Finally one of us from the comment section got to go to the closet.
Ayo is going to be a star, hell of a talent.
This went into my youtube playlist of best videos ever, and I obviously had to create a letterbodx list based on Ayo's picks hihihi
Deserves any & all praise she gets. Great human being to boot too 😁 Also did a great job directing a Bear episode this season 👏
she rocks so much
I recently came across her Letterboxd account randomly while reading reviews of The Master, had to give the Queen a follow 💜
One of my favorite criterion closet episodes. She's so excited and knowledgeable of her favorites, I want to see all of them❤
One of the best episodes yet - Ayo is fantastic!! You have to have her do this again!
