    The fact that she shot the grave scene at her grandpa's grave makes it much more intimate and authentic and I already love the movie!

    She’s right. The film would have been lost at Netflix or Amazon. I’m glad she picked A24.

      Rahel Abayakoon why do you have to put down one film to elevate another? I hate how people always get snobbish when it comes to comic book movies. Philips made a comic book film that was unlike anything we have gotten in the genre before and people loved it. Including me, and it while I recognize it’s flaws it’s definitely my favorite of the year

    Lulu’s point on independent studios and the concept on branding with netflix was sucha profound point. I think it often gets unnnoticed in the filmmaking industry is that youre trying to get your film established but you need to understand how does the market works before you can distribute either on streaming service or finding a studio to distribute the film successfully

    Noah Baumbach made a remarkable film, and has a unique artistic voice .
    However, he is a pretty nasty human being. I remember visiting the Lincoln center where he was invited to talk about his previous film, The Meyerowitz Stories, he was so rude to the journalists and to the audience members who who were asking questions. I wondered he was having a bad day, but after seeing a few of his interviews, I figured that he is just a tragic human being: there is nothing that justifies such conduct.Pretentious and Privileged- that’s what he is!

    • @MaySins
      @MaySins 4 роки тому +3

      Not surprised. Noah Baumbach is hypocrite and rude. He deserves nothing because he's nothing but pretentious asshole.

    • @percyweasley9301
      @percyweasley9301 4 роки тому +6

      From all the interviews he seems like a good person to me. He is introvert, maybe sometimes he behaves weirdly because of that. I want to believe what I see through my own eyes. I don't want to believe that someone in love with Greta Gerwig is a 'nasty' person.
