I have watched Carol 7 times so far, and I think Carol is extremely beautiful. I also saw a review of Carol from this channel (ua-cam.com/video/GMoxoFuzESA/v-deo.html) and my god this movie became more amazing.
Watched it three times and read half the book (The Price of Salt). The books gives the characters a bit more depth but the movie is otherwise fairly faithful.
1 minute of silence for me, who watched The Favourite in the cinema, and also dragged my mom, having no clue what was the movie about, being in the closet😂
As a native french speaker, I can tell you that Blue is the warmest color definitely is overrated😂😂 I think a lot of english speakers have a slight preference because it's ☄french☄, so they don't really understand the lines or culture as well. Thats being said, I don't think it's a terrible movie, just definitely overrated.
@@LeboneValerie1995 Definitely the greatest movie ever made. It's pretentious but when you figure it out, it's ingenious and the most unique story ever told.
It's strange: I can understand not liking it, more than I can understand not understanding it (after the first time!). Poor Diane has a dream which (mostly) solves her problems until, darn it, the cognitive dissonance (and maybe a need to pee? 🤔) wakes her up. Then she's stuck w/ her increasingly awful life, and... [saving something for the unspoiled]. A flip summary, to be sure, but that said: one of my favorite films.
Carol is one of my favourite lesbian movies. I think a lot of lesbian movies are overrated, but I think that's because there are not really that much great ones out there. I mean, there's not that much lesbian movies out there in the first place, so we'll just basically watch any gay content we get our hands on. So every time we're not extremely dissapointed by a lesbian movie, we're happy with it and we spread word about it. I used to watch entire series just because there was one gay couple after like 5 seasons or something. Now I'm more of a reader though, it's a lot less dissapointing lol

Yall need to find and watch "Summerland" 2020 movie. It was so refreshing to watch a les film with a good storyline and a happy ending, highly recommend it!
That movie is really good, especially because it is focused not on the love story but on flashbacks, nostalgia, looking for home, it makes you read between the lines. The lack of a love story as a solo focus just highlights the love story even more, there’s so much longing, it really worked for me.
That Bloomington shade made me cackle 😂🤣🤣 Mulholland Drive reminds me why I hate performance art. *I said what I said.* Bravo to this bold and brave list. The truth is a gut punch sometimes. I wish I could subscribe to this channel again.
can't lie i was upset for a second about the favourite......i guess i've got the acquired taste, but for me the centre ofthe film is the dynamics between all the women.
The Favourite, Mulholland drive and Carol are all among my fave movies. But not neccesarily because of the lesbian storylines, but because they are all brilliantly directed and have beautiful cinematography. Agree about the two others, though.
Mulholland Drive technically isn’t a “lesbian movie” per se…. It is one of David Lynch’s masterpieces! That said, it is an acquired taste and I can see why it made your list. I only watched it 5 times before I can appreciate it! Lol! I like the video nonetheless! Keep sharing, Ms. Dar!
I could not disagree more. You have on your list not only some of the best lesbian movies, but also some of the best movies in general. All of these films have a unique way of presenting the reality of the characters and are anything but overrated . I only agree with number five on your list which I really consider a weak movie.
As a french woman, blue is the warmest color was the most realistic representation of the difference between social classes in France that I had ever seen. I loved it, even with the overly performative sex scenes.
I watched the beginning of blue is the warmest colour and the favourite before switching to watching something else. Blue was so boring and the favourite was so weird I didn’t understand what the hell was happening. I totally agree with carol being style over substance. The cinematography was beautiful but at the end I was like that’s it???
I love Carol, but I agree with you. The book was much more intense and the movie hardly captured that. It’s the 1950s so the characters had to be subtle but was TOO subtle and it bordered on being boring.
I just found your channel and I’m loving it. I just disagree with you about Carol, I don’t think it is overrated it is a beautiful well-told movie. It made me like Rooney Mara who ,let’s face it, the most annoying rich girl there is. I actually read The price of salt because of it and it was a brilliant adaptation. The problem with many lesbian movies Is that they have the same-Old plot or no plausible plot, or they follow the same clichés. The kids are alright would’ve been better if Julianne Moore had cheated on her wife with another woman, Blue is the warmest.. made the same mistake and the only reason it was sooo hyped was because it was a lesbian soft-core porn movie. Ironically, I think Carol would’ve been better if they had focused more on the love story between the women, I mean they didn’t’t make much of Paulson’s character and her previous relationship with Carol, they even deleted what I think must have been the best scene of the movie: Abby warning Therese about Carol being so vulnerable. As a result, it makes no sense when Therese questions Abby why she dislikes her, Therese, so much. I’m sorry, it’s not overrated.
I agree that Blue is not overrated. I feel like people hate that movie either for its director and the bts and/or because of that long drawn out attention to detail that other films like Tree of Life get praised for. But, overall, I'm just so drawn to Adele and she feels so much closer to me than most lof the Lesbians on screen in film or tv, and especially in American films and tv since I'm not American. And I just loved Adele Exarchopoulos in it.
I really love and stan Carol and Mulholland Drive tho. The bests for me, but hey! we truly have different perspectives and opinions, and taste so that's alright. nice vids btw!
Come on, Evelyn !! Carol is the best movie in the world !! Great photography, very good direction, very successful script, and the music is splendid. Great performances, Cate Blanchett, Sarah Paulson, incredible chemistry between the leads, age difference issues, but gay and, on top of all that, it has a happy ending !! If not perfect, it is very close to being so. Sorry, I’m just a fan girl. I have seen this movie a lot of times, so don’t listen to me too much😛. I love your reviews and recommendations!!😘
@@SnarkierThan-U-R I love that movie too, but it has a sad and tragic ending. That’s why I say that Carol is perfect. It’s not the same old story between women on a period lesbian movie that at the end they can’t be together.
@@necropsia32 They couldnt be together because Tallie was sick from the very beginng. From the start she was always complaining about having a cold, or she was asking Abigail, if she was sick also. This was realistically. PORTRAYED AS A time when medicine 💊 was in it's infancy. Remember that everyone in the village began succumbing to an outbreak. NONETHELESS, THE acting was superior, the cinematography breathtaking, and the music emotionally evocative. Btw happy 😄 endings are for fairytales.
@@SnarkierThan-U-R No, I'm not talking about fairy tales or happy endings indeed. I'm talking about lesbian stories on TV. They have been had a painful history since the begining, like all of us can easily asociated: lesbians + period movie = drama movie with non-happy-ending. And I think, (it's my personal opinion), that Carol give us a blow of fresh air, showing us that: "ok, we're in a lesbian relationship in the 50's, it could end very bad, but it doesn't and yet with a credible ending".
Carol is a movie I’ve come to deeply adore, however, on the cause of reading the book, The Price of Salt, before investing into the movie adaptation. The book is so much more fleshed out, conveys and explains a lot of the restraint and history between different characters, especially Abby’s relationship with Carol and Therese. And provides much more substance that I think would have done the movie a lot more justice. The comment you made about “style over substance” not only made me laugh crying but also 100% agreeing with you. While I do appreciate the screenplay, direction and cinematography, I felt truly it could have benefited off of deleted scenes and more subtext in dialogue that was beautifully orchestrated in the book. There is a lot more symbolism with certain characters and objects that invests into Therese’s existentialist crisis and relationship with her world and Carol, that I feel really could have saved the over-restrained subtext of the movie. I still do treasure it though, but feel your opinion on is also 100% valid!
While I really enjoy your reviews and comments and usually agree with you I do think The Favorite was not appreciated enough. Then on the other hand I think the directors past body of work, has a lot of unique movies and one would expect how strange The Favorite comes across. Blue is the Warmest Color is a French movie and they do things differently . I liked it very much. Thank you for videos Evelyn. 🙂 .
To be honest, I like unconventional movies from all over the globe, but I felt uncomfortable watching Blue is the warmest color several times. I found the close up open mouth chewing, snot covered crying, and the infamous sex scene really unnecessary for the plot and in general. Also it bothered me that in some scenes it was more than obvious that a man directed it.
Tbh I feel like the problem with Blue Is The Warmest Color is the male gaze. If a woman had directed it, it would have given the film a less voyeuristic perspective
Mulholland Drive was written by David Lynch. His films are unusual and strange leaving the viewer to mutter, "What the Hell am I watching?". I enjoy Carol as it's a nice slow pace film with moments of sparks just like...The World Unseen, Ammonite, The World to Come, City of Trees, Out of Season, My Days of Mercy, and Portrait of a Lady on Fire.
The girls in Blue is the Warmest Color were uncomfortable filming the sex scene and were basically forced to go through with it. I can't look at the movie the same way knowing that.
Random comment about Carol, and I do think that 'The Price of Salt,' would have been a more intriguing title, but taking a leap into alternate history; a contemporary version filmed with Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn in the leads?
Ooooo, I like that idea but who would play who? Am thinking Grace in the Carol part but also interesting to think Audrey in that part, weren't they around the same age?
Not Carol though, I just finished watching it for the 10th time. Watch it in the perceptive of married old people in the early 90s where the wife has a long history with a woman 'Abby' in this case. 'The morality clause era'. Relationships ended like that, even today some still do. No explanation, just old couples mending their relationship leaving the new lover damaged.
The favorite was indeed a weird movie..I watched it and I wasn't feeling it much..for me definitely overrated..but Carol on the other hand made me feel so much more.. It's all about personal preference in the end I geuss..🤷🏽♂️
"if after you watch a movie, people have to tell you the movie is good to make you realize the movie is good... maybe it isn''t" AGREE! I fall into that so much, especially if I don't understand what a movie was trying to do...
I got to that sex scene in blue and just turned it off. It was so..... I dunno... gynecological? It was not sexy at. all. Then when I read up on how much the actresses felt the director really forced them to do scenes they were not comfortable with, ugh, that pretty much put the nail in the coffin for me ever going to back to finish it. Great video as always!
Carol and Blue is the warmest colour are THE MOST overrated lesbian movies I've watched. I still don't get all the hype about them. But you are right all the movies you listed are very much overrated. The style over substance description of Carol is the most accurate description of that movie I've ever seen lol. I watched it and by the end of it I was wondering if that was it. Nothing f*cking happened! It was just a collection of nicely shot scenes. I wondered wth everybody was watching because I didn't get it.
You have me laughing out loud throughout this whole video!!! I have honestly never made it through Mullholland Dr... Like ever. Snooze fest. And I cannot agree more with your list, ESPECIALLY number one!
There's been a lot of mention of Carol, i wish you'd hit Amorite,,lol. But i didn't connect with Carol, until I matured a bit more, had more life experience, THEN, i saw the film much better. Sometimes it takes growth to really SEE a movie or a book for that matter.
What I dont get about blue, apart from the ridiculous sex scenes is the way the love is supposed to so so true and deep and yet she pops off for a bit of sideline sex with no self questioning or trigger. I get some people are polyamorous but you dont do that shit behind peoples backs. There was a huge believability gap for me, which is why it was overated. The rest of your choices and analyses are spot on from my point of view
Portrait of a Lady on Fire is a masterpiece. Like The Favorite, I get that it could turn some people off, but it's still a wonderful film. Some might even say it's underrated because it didn't win many awards in the U.S.
@@mhawang8204 portrait would have been a masterpiece if it was 30 minutes long. And I’m being generous. Evelyn recapped it in about 17 minutes and that was enough. But the 2+ hours was uncalled for
The lack of screenplay in carol is what made it for me a little bit of a deception, i think they rushed into things way too fast and they should have respected the pace of the book a little bit more, the way u connect so much with Therese practically feeling the pain and excitement she feels Everytime she lives something with Carol wasn't quite there..... Is funny cuz the chemistry of the actresses was present but wasn't beautifully exploted
The only film that is truly overrated on this list IS Blue is the warmest color it's just a series of random, explicit and way too long sex and nudity scenes scattered over 3hours long...and of course orchestrated by a straight man
About Blue, don't know if u heard about it, but there were scandals around the movie and specially about Kechiche. Adele and Lea Seydoux said it was a very very hard shooting and Kechiche was kind of a tyrant (for example the fight scene you show in your video was hell for Adele, they had to shot it so many times and she had to be slapped every time, their tears are real). There was an other scandal around employees conditions and non-paiement for their work etc... If you add to it those really problematics sexe scenes, yes Adele is clearly overrated ! (excuse my english i'm french ;) )
I think the thing about Carol that was missing was that they didn't explain enough about just how incredibly difficult, and even dangerous it was for women to even just meet other women. Or even admit to themselves that they wanted to. Compulsory heterosexuality was SOOOOOO strong in the 50s (and 60s and 70s, although it started shifting in the 70s). Carol did what SOOOOOO many women did in those days and married a man. And then realized she wanted to be with women. If you lived through compulsary heterosexuality, like I did, the movie makes way more sense and is way more meaningful. But even having lived through that horror (and it was horrible. People wouldn't just leave me in peace about it, and there were always males hovering and pushing for it), I still believe the movie would have been more powerful if it had made it more explicit. Because then you understand better why it was such a big deal for Carol to meet Therese. They also should have gone more into why Carol's relationship with Abby didn't work out. Because this also explains why it was such a big deal for Carol to meet Therese (I know there were Carol and Abby scenes that were cut. Maybe someday there will be a release that puts them back in). "Flung out of space" resonates very differently when you know more about the back story. Having said this, I still love the movie. When Carol tells Therese she loves her is still one of the most beautifully heartbreaking scenes I've ever seen. And the scene where they have lunch, and Carol is trying to figure out Therese's situation without being obvious (because to do so could literally destroy her life if she is wrong about Therese), is a masterpiece, IMHO. Because back in the day I have done the exact same thing, with practically the exact same words and feelings ... And, of course, the cinematography and costumes and sets were gorgeous. As was Cate Blanchett. All of the above is of course imho ...
The Kids are Alright, left me very disappointed. It was really the first big budget, mainstream lesbian movie with a big named cast. The cast were amazing, I just think it 1. could have been better and 2. was SOOO put off by the cheating with a man thing...being a lesbian who has been waiting for a movie like this for, at the time, close to 50 yrs, and we have cheating with a man, my first reaction was all the non LGBTQ+ people who watch will have the "she's not really gay, she just needs to meet the right man." That just rubbed me the wrong way. The Favorite was ok, I think it could have been better. What I got out of it was something I already knew, Olivia Colman is AMAZING! I have been a huge fan since stumbling onto Broadchurch. I remember her being great and I loved the scenery, but honestly, I hardly remember the other actresses at all. The script just really lacked. Carol, well, I was looking for ward to that one. Cate Blanchet is such a great actor, and, well, she is very pleasant to look at, I just could not relate to the characters. The cinematography was great, the costumes were great, I just could not find anything about the characters I could hold onto, except the custody thing, and that is because I can relate, in the early 1990's I went through the same thing. Which is freakin sad that there is a period drama and my life having to deal with hemophobia vs parenting. Usually when I see a GOOD movie or TV show, my mind wonders "what happens next"...to the characters, unless it's something like Game of Thrones, nearly everyone is dead at the end. A good character stays with me, at least for a few days, some decades...(so thankful Shane, Alice, Bette and Tina are back.) Mulholland Drive. OMG...SO, I watched it 4 times, 4 times, and honestly I still don't know what they hell went on. Now, I have watched movies like this...I was a film, television major in college, film teachers always pull out the weirdest things they can get their hands on, so I have watched movies that you REALLY have to pay attention to, or movies that leave you thinking WTF? SO, watched the movie when it first came out, yes, hot lesbian scene, but that was all I could tell people. When asked "how was the movie, " so many times I said, "I have no idea." I watched it again when I went through a Naomi Watts phase, had a little crush, so I gave it another shot, Watched it again with a friend...finially, my cousin, who works in film, went to an anniversary screening of the film in LA (Naomi was not there, but other cast was...because I wanted him to slip her my number..LOL JK). He is younger than me and actually studied the film when getting his masters degree. We talked and talked about theories...but honstly, I'm getting old, I can't spend so much time trying to figure out WTF the movie was trying to tell me. I just want a nice story about lesbians. When will that happen? (BTW, so with you on Eternal Sunshine...I am not usually a Jim Carry fan, but my little cousin told me to watch and, well it did not take me but once to GET what the movie was about, that film is on my top 10 movies of all time, because it was executed well, and the point, well, it spoke to me. I agree with you on Blue..Parts I really liked, parts I did not.
I think that Mulholland Drive is a masterpiece and one of my favorite films ever. But the fact that it has a wlw relationship was just a cherry on top for me. In my reading, it wasn't significant for the story. It could've just as well been an mlm or heterosexual couple. Although I have seen interpretations that would disagree with me. But Mulholland Drive is very much for people who like films that need to be solved like logical puzzles. Also surreal and with much symbolism. After all, most of this movie is a fever dream of a very mentally unstable protagonist. And you need to figure it out to understand the film. So if this kind of story is not your thing, then, well, it's just not for you.
I saw the kids are alright not long after it came out on DVD and I couldn't remember what it was about. I just remembered I saw it and it was fine. Carol was really boring from what I remember and I honestly didn't remember Mulholland Drive was a lesbian film. As for Blue aka the most hyped three hour French art house lesbian coming of age movie ever made it was pretty good. I've seen it about four times and own it on Blu-ray and even though it is vary French I thought it was great. the ending is so crush even after watching it a couple of time that saying I love it seems wrong. But there is a beauty and feeling to it that gets me.
So glad to see someone else say this. Rooney Mara looks younger than she is and Cate Blanchett looks older than she is (sorry, she does) which compounds the age difference component. It gives the whole seduction a predatory almost pedophiliac quality that I found very off-putting. Ick.
Water lilies, Rafiki, The Girl king, The Chinese Botanist's daughters, Bye Bye Blondie, What keeps you alive, The happiest season, Fried Green Tomatoes... sorry for the fans -_-
Two things 1. Your editing/comedic timing is so on point I love it 2 I'm glad to see your defending blue is the warmest color I thought it was a legitimately great movie and the hate came out of no where, because if my memory serves me correctly everyone loved it when first came out now it's whack. All this over a sex scene and what's even crazier I've seen lesbians defend the scene and say it's accurate but idk I'm not a lesbian but still I think it's a good film and gets to much hate now a days
Hate to say, but when we crave for representation, anything close to being mediocre becomes legendary or classic. It's the scarcity issue, not the artistic taste of the lesbian community. With lesbian movies still being niche and indie, almost all lesbian movies with modest quality may earn overwhelming loyalty and excitement of the community. I hope to see the day, when the major production companies invest its fair share in telling the stories of the LGBTQ, and these movies all compete just the way movies do. May the future hold fair representation of lesbians in movies and tv shows and we don't have to find joy and solace from mediocracy. (But I still love Carol!)
Hollyweird giving best picture awards to average if not downright mediocre and bad movies? I'm shocked I tell you, shocked.😂 (Not really) Its like their bread and butter nowadays just like making endless sequels and reboots absolutely no one asked for.🤷🏾♂
I found there were mistakes. What did Terese ask Carol what her name was at lunch? She saw her account info, she sent her gloves back to her??? I don’t get it!
the favourite director has this style of directing which I think is kinda weird but I love it so much he does it with all his films but I see how some people don't like it I personally think it's one of the best films of 2018
Carol's lack of chemistry between the two women is disturbing and I don't see how other lesbians aren't bothered by it?? It takes you completely out of the film as you watch two straight woman have zero interest in each other 😐
This is surely a very bold list :D I haven't seen Mulholland Drive and The Favorite yet, so i cannot say anything about them, but i totally see what you mean about Carol... I heard about it on a lesbian channel and decided to check it out cos they were obsessed with it lol But... i just didn't 'feel' it so to speak. I liked the brown haired actress but that was kinda it 😅 Don't get me wrong - the cinematography is outstanding and the actresses did an amazing job but i guess it's just not my type of film. Plus I'm not a fan of Kate Blanchett's since she is the main reason ppl love this film i guess 😉 When it comes to Blue is the warmest color I still don't know what i feel about it lol I've watched it 3 times and i'm gonna watch more :D but yes, those close-ups and sex scenes just could have been done better - not in such an annoying way :) That said, it was the first lesbian film I ever watched so i guess I'm a bit biased :D Plus Lea Seydoux was AMAZING there 😳
The Favourite was a great movie, acting, directing and above all hysterically dark and humorous. Carol I read the book years ago and the film brought it to life. Cate Blanchett can take my photo any day of the week! Blue is the warmest colour I found vulgar and a turn off for me. It made me feel extremely uncomfortable and I believe the female leads also spoke out afterwards to say they didn’t like the way it’s director treated them during that six minute scene.
Well I have a soft spot for carol, so... but yes I can pretty much relate where you are coming from. I feel more like the Favorite and Mulholland Drive are kind of movies with lesbians in it rather than lesbian move stricto-sensus.(i kind of felt the same. For Blue, if i had not seen bound, loving Annabelle or below her mouth I would probably like it more than i did.
I feel like people grade David Lynch movies on a curve. They tolerate a lot of artiness, weirdness and silliness they would just write off anywhere else.
Thank you! Finally someone is saying what I have been thinking about Carol. And Blue is the warmest color was a huge disappointment, might have worked as a short film. I don't agree about The Favorite, though. Amazing and original!
Okay but can we talk about the handmaiden for a sec. I watched it because everyone was like "ohh its so good" but when I watched it the plot fucked with me too much. I do enjoy the relationship in the movie and think the actresses have great chemistry but the whole sex dungeon type thing threw me off
oh also idk if anyone already pointed this but in blue is the warmest color the actresses didnt really wanted or felt comfortable during the sex scene. if im not mistaken they were really pressured and kinda hate the movie or smth. im not exactly sure on what happened but it was pretty bad
I LOVED the Favourite, yes Carol was overrated but still good. Mulholland Drive was voted the BEST Picture of the 20th Century, so sad that it went OVER your head.
@@mouadnador4355 In what context am I rude and ignorant? Hmm? Oh, you don't know what the word CONTEXT means or how to apply it do you? So, it looks like you're the ignorant one.
The Favourite is one of my... hm favorite movies of all time. It is very witty, brilliantly written and enacted, i loved the camera work, editing, all the small details that the film is charged with. It is also stylish AF. I can easily recite more than a few lines from it (which I actually do frequently) as the writing is incredibly sharp. Performances from Weisz and Colman are captivating and nuanced. Lantimos made a thing of beauty, not overrated by any means imo.
I still don't think Carol is overrated. I can't get enough of it and each time I always find something different to love about it.
I know that Carol is overrated but it is so good i watched it 3 times now lol
I can honestly say I watched Carol at least 10 times lol. It’s my go to movie atp
I have watched Carol 7 times so far, and I think Carol is extremely beautiful. I also saw a review of Carol from this channel (ua-cam.com/video/GMoxoFuzESA/v-deo.html) and my god this movie became more amazing.
It IS overrated, but still highly enjoyable.
Ive watched Carol more than 3 time, and every christmas 🎄 it plays on a continuous loop
Watched it three times and read half the book (The Price of Salt). The books gives the characters a bit more depth but the movie is otherwise fairly faithful.
I audibly gasped seeing Carol on the list. But I'm also obsessed with Cate Blanchett.
You can’t be obsessed w care blanched I already have that lane lol
i liked Carol, don't know about the others but to me, Carol was really good
1 minute of silence for me, who watched The Favourite in the cinema, and also dragged my mom, having no clue what was the movie about, being in the closet😂
😆😆
😭😭😭😭
Omg HAAHAHHAHSHSHS
Lol 😆
I feel so much sympathy for this moment..
"Carol" does not belong on this list. It's even adapted from a classic lesbian novel.
As a native french speaker, I can tell you that Blue is the warmest color definitely is overrated😂😂
I think a lot of english speakers have a slight preference because it's ☄french☄, so they don't really understand the lines or culture as well.
Thats being said, I don't think it's a terrible movie, just definitely overrated.
I’ve seen Mulholland Drive like 6 times...I still don’t know wtf is happening with that movie 🥴
It's so confusing and boring
I have seen it probably 60 times, and same gurrl, same! but i still love their chemistry!
well it is a David Lynch movie so what each of us is going to get out of it is highly variable.
@@LeboneValerie1995 Definitely the greatest movie ever made. It's pretentious but when you figure it out, it's ingenious and the most unique story ever told.

ppl either love it hate it - there's no other option :)
"Most of these films are excellent."
No Bloo is the wormest color is not.
But it’s quite nice. :))
TY. Blue horrified me. Those sex scenes, give me a break. The actresses later said they felt abused by the director.
Carol is one of my favourite lesbian movies. I think a lot of lesbian movies are overrated, but I think that's because there are not really that much great ones out there.

@@godhateseveryonewhodoesntr5977 omfg are they all LGBTQ films ?😲😲 thats alot if so and I'm gonna screenshot 🤭🤭🤗 thank you
@@godhateseveryonewhodoesntr5977 and watch Elisa and Marcella you're gonna love it I promise and it has a happy ending
Mullholland Drive and Carol aren't overrated the two movies are masterpieces, the two directors and the scripts are just pure gold
Yall need to find and watch "Summerland" 2020 movie. It was so refreshing to watch a les film with a good storyline and a happy ending, highly recommend it!
That movie is really good, especially because it is focused not on the love story but on flashbacks, nostalgia, looking for home, it makes you read between the lines. The lack of a love story as a solo focus just highlights the love story even more, there’s so much longing, it really worked for me.
Girl you broke my heart mentioning Mulholland Drive, I'll just pretend that didn't happen
the best thing about Carol was Cate Blanchet and Sarah Paulson ❤️❤️❤️
That Bloomington shade made me cackle 😂🤣🤣 Mulholland Drive reminds me why I hate performance art. *I said what I said.* Bravo to this bold and brave list. The truth is a gut punch sometimes. I wish I could subscribe to this channel again.
haha i wish you could too because after this video i might drop to 10 subscribers
can't lie i was upset for a second about the favourite......i guess i've got the acquired taste, but for me the centre ofthe film is the dynamics between all the women.
The Favourite, Mulholland drive and Carol are all among my fave movies. But not neccesarily because of the lesbian storylines, but because they are all brilliantly directed and have beautiful cinematography. Agree about the two others, though.
So basically the #1 most overrated for you is Carol. I kinda don't agree (because I love it haha) but to each her own, I guess.
Mulholland Drive technically isn’t a “lesbian movie” per se…. It is one of David Lynch’s masterpieces! That said, it is an acquired taste and I can see why it made your list. I only watched it 5 times before I can appreciate it! Lol! I like the video nonetheless! Keep sharing, Ms. Dar!
I could not disagree more. You have on your list not only some of the best lesbian movies, but also some of the best movies in general. All of these films have a unique way of presenting the reality of the characters and are anything but overrated . I only agree with number five on your list which I really consider a weak movie.
Right? I think this is more about her not liking arthouse movies...
As a french woman, blue is the warmest color was the most realistic representation of the difference between social classes in France that I had ever seen. I loved it, even with the overly performative sex scenes.
I watched the beginning of blue is the warmest colour and the favourite before switching to watching something else. Blue was so boring and the favourite was so weird I didn’t understand what the hell was happening. I totally agree with carol being style over substance. The cinematography was beautiful but at the end I was like that’s it???
I love Carol, but I agree with you. The book was much more intense and the movie hardly captured that. It’s the 1950s so the characters had to be subtle but was TOO subtle and it bordered on being boring.
I 100% agree with you
I just found your channel and I’m loving it. I just disagree with you about Carol, I don’t think it is overrated it is a beautiful well-told movie. It made me like Rooney Mara who ,let’s face it, the most annoying rich girl there is. I actually read The price of salt because of it and it was a brilliant adaptation. The problem with many lesbian movies Is that they have the same-Old plot or no plausible plot, or they follow the same clichés. The kids are alright would’ve been better if Julianne Moore had cheated on her wife with another woman, Blue is the warmest.. made the same mistake and the only reason it was sooo hyped was because it was a lesbian soft-core porn movie. Ironically, I think Carol would’ve been better if they had focused more on the love story between the women, I mean they didn’t’t make much of Paulson’s character and her previous relationship with Carol, they even deleted what I think must have been the best scene of the movie: Abby warning Therese about Carol being so vulnerable. As a result, it makes no sense when Therese questions Abby why she dislikes her, Therese, so much. I’m sorry, it’s not overrated.
I'm not really into celebrity culture, how is Rooney Mara the most annoying rich girl there is? I know she's rich, but that's it
I agree that Blue is not overrated. I feel like people hate that movie either for its director and the bts and/or because of that long drawn out attention to detail that other films like Tree of Life get praised for. But, overall, I'm just so drawn to Adele and she feels so much closer to me than most lof the Lesbians on screen in film or tv, and especially in American films and tv since I'm not American. And I just loved Adele Exarchopoulos in it.
I agree with you on all but particularly Blue.. However, you left out a huge overrated movie out...the Happiest Season.
The most underrated film is Reaching for the moon(flores raras). This is the most splendid film ever.
I totally agree...👍
I really love and stan Carol and Mulholland Drive tho. The bests for me, but hey! we truly have different perspectives and opinions, and taste so that's alright. nice vids btw!
Come on, Evelyn !! Carol is the best movie in the world !! Great photography, very good direction, very successful script, and the music is splendid. Great performances, Cate Blanchett, Sarah Paulson, incredible chemistry between the leads, age difference issues, but gay and, on top of all that, it has a happy ending !! If not perfect, it is very close to being so.
Sorry, I’m just a fan girl. I have seen this movie a lot of times, so don’t listen to me too much😛.
I love your reviews and recommendations!!😘
No, The World To Come has over-taken Carol.
@@SnarkierThan-U-R I love that movie too, but it has a sad and tragic ending. That’s why I say that Carol is perfect. It’s not the same old story between women on a period lesbian movie that at the end they can’t be together.
@@necropsia32 They couldnt be together because Tallie was sick from the very beginng. From the start she was always complaining about having a cold, or she was asking Abigail, if she was sick also. This was realistically. PORTRAYED AS A time when medicine 💊 was in it's infancy. Remember that everyone in the village began succumbing to an outbreak. NONETHELESS, THE acting was superior, the cinematography breathtaking, and the music emotionally evocative. Btw happy 😄 endings are for fairytales.
@@SnarkierThan-U-R No, I'm not talking about fairy tales or happy endings indeed. I'm talking about lesbian stories on TV.
They have been had a painful history since the begining, like all of us can easily asociated: lesbians + period movie = drama movie with non-happy-ending.
And I think, (it's my personal opinion), that Carol give us a blow of fresh air, showing us that: "ok, we're in a lesbian relationship in the 50's, it could end very bad, but it doesn't and yet with a credible ending".
@@necropsia32 I am a lesbian who is OVER 60 years old! What do you think that it is that I don't know about being a lesbian? WTF is WRONG with you?
Carol is a movie I’ve come to deeply adore, however, on the cause of reading the book, The Price of Salt, before investing into the movie adaptation.
The book is so much more fleshed out, conveys and explains a lot of the restraint and history between different characters, especially Abby’s relationship with Carol and Therese. And provides much more substance that I think would have done the movie a lot more justice. The comment you made about “style over substance” not only made me laugh crying but also 100% agreeing with you.
While I do appreciate the screenplay, direction and cinematography, I felt truly it could have benefited off of deleted scenes and more subtext in dialogue that was beautifully orchestrated in the book. There is a lot more symbolism with certain characters and objects that invests into Therese’s existentialist crisis and relationship with her world and Carol, that I feel really could have saved the over-restrained subtext of the movie. I still do treasure it though, but feel your opinion on is also 100% valid!
The World To Come is an underrated masterpiece. For me, it is the best lesbian movie and I just deeply fallen into Vanessa Kirby😍😍😍
Blue is the Warmest Color is the worst critically acclaimed lesbian film I've ever had to sit through.
While I really enjoy your reviews and comments and usually agree with you I do think The Favorite was not appreciated enough. Then on the other hand I think the directors past body of work, has a lot of unique movies and one would expect how strange The Favorite comes across. Blue is the Warmest Color is a French movie and they do things differently . I liked it very much. Thank you for videos Evelyn. 🙂
.
To be honest, I like unconventional movies from all over the globe, but I felt uncomfortable watching Blue is the warmest color several times. I found the close up open mouth chewing, snot covered crying, and the infamous sex scene really unnecessary for the plot and in general. Also it bothered me that in some scenes it was more than obvious that a man directed it.
Tbh I feel like the problem with Blue Is The Warmest Color is the male gaze. If a woman had directed it, it would have given the film a less voyeuristic perspective
The director makes a comparison between her love for food and sexual appetite.
Mulholland Drive was written by David Lynch. His films are unusual and strange leaving the viewer to mutter, "What the Hell am I watching?". I enjoy Carol as it's a nice slow pace film with moments of sparks just like...The World Unseen, Ammonite, The World to Come, City of Trees, Out of Season, My Days of Mercy, and Portrait of a Lady on Fire.
Bloomington...enough said without saying anything.
The favorite was fun. I wasn’t asking for much
The girls in Blue is the Warmest Color were uncomfortable filming the sex scene and were basically forced to go through with it. I can't look at the movie the same way knowing that.
You Said Everything here!!!
Not horrible movies but the amount of Cult around them is unbelievable🤷
Random comment about Carol, and I do think that 'The Price of Salt,' would have been a more intriguing title, but taking a leap into alternate history; a contemporary version filmed with Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn in the leads?
Ooooo, I like that idea but who would play who? Am thinking Grace in the Carol part but also interesting to think Audrey in that part, weren't they around the same age?
I live for Carol!
I thought the favourite was such a strange film, for some reason it just made me feel queasy
Not Carol though, I just finished watching it for the 10th time. Watch it in the perceptive of married old people in the early 90s where the wife has a long history with a woman 'Abby' in this case. 'The morality clause era'. Relationships ended like that, even today some still do. No explanation, just old couples mending their relationship leaving the new lover damaged.
The favorite was indeed a weird movie..I watched it and I wasn't feeling it much..for me definitely overrated..but Carol on the other hand made me feel so much more.. It's all about personal preference in the end I geuss..🤷🏽♂️
Wait a second! Anyone that tells me 'Carol' is overrated gets immediately crossed off my 'possible friends' list with a big black marker.😌
"if after you watch a movie, people have to tell you the movie is good to make you realize the movie is good... maybe it isn''t" AGREE! I fall into that so much, especially if I don't understand what a movie was trying to do...
I got to that sex scene in blue and just turned it off. It was so..... I dunno... gynecological? It was not sexy at. all. Then when I read up on how much the actresses felt the director really forced them to do scenes they were not comfortable with, ugh, that pretty much put the nail in the coffin for me ever going to back to finish it. Great video as always!
I cannot tell you how SEEN this video makes me feel. ESPECIALLY BC OF CAROL. Such a boring movie, such an unlikable protagonist.
I don't know Evelyn what was your thought behind saying Mulholland Drive an overrated movie? But IMO Mulholland Drive is a masterpiece
Masterpiece exactly!
Carol and Blue is the warmest colour are THE MOST overrated lesbian movies I've watched. I still don't get all the hype about them. But you are right all the movies you listed are very much overrated. The style over substance description of Carol is the most accurate description of that movie I've ever seen lol. I watched it and by the end of it I was wondering if that was it. Nothing f*cking happened! It was just a collection of nicely shot scenes. I wondered wth everybody was watching because I didn't get it.
You have me laughing out loud throughout this whole video!!! I have honestly never made it through Mullholland Dr... Like ever. Snooze fest. And I cannot agree more with your list, ESPECIALLY number one!
Mull what what is so boring
There's been a lot of mention of Carol, i wish you'd hit Amorite,,lol. But i didn't connect with Carol, until I matured a bit more, had more life experience, THEN, i saw the film much better. Sometimes it takes growth to really SEE a movie or a book for that matter.
This is very true.
For other movies too ...
So…you not gonna mention portrait of a lady on fire? Oh well
That movie wasn't overrated tho. Well in my opinion...
I can get that it's an acquired taste but I loved that film
What I dont get about blue, apart from the ridiculous sex scenes is the way the love is supposed to so so true and deep and yet she pops off for a bit of sideline sex with no self questioning or trigger. I get some people are polyamorous but you dont do that shit behind peoples backs. There was a huge believability gap for me, which is why it was overated. The rest of your choices and analyses are spot on from my point of view
Portrait of a Lady on Fire is a masterpiece. Like The Favorite, I get that it could turn some people off, but it's still a wonderful film. Some might even say it's underrated because it didn't win many awards in the U.S.
@@mhawang8204 portrait would have been a masterpiece if it was 30 minutes long.
And I’m being generous. Evelyn recapped it in about 17 minutes and that was enough.
But the 2+ hours was uncalled for
Agree that "The Kids ..." was overrated. The script was the problem imho
Yeah something about it didn't sit right, was kinda boring
@@ailsawalcott52 yeah. If it had less great actresses it would have been even worse. The dialog is really cliche
The lack of screenplay in carol is what made it for me a little bit of a deception, i think they rushed into things way too fast and they should have respected the pace of the book a little bit more, the way u connect so much with Therese practically feeling the pain and excitement she feels Everytime she lives something with Carol wasn't quite there..... Is funny cuz the chemistry of the actresses was present but wasn't beautifully exploted
The only film that is truly overrated on this list IS Blue is the warmest color it's just a series of random, explicit and way too long sex and nudity scenes scattered over 3hours long...and of course orchestrated by a straight man
About Blue, don't know if u heard about it, but there were scandals around the movie and specially about Kechiche. Adele and Lea Seydoux said it was a very very hard shooting and Kechiche was kind of a tyrant (for example the fight scene you show in your video was hell for Adele, they had to shot it so many times and she had to be slapped every time, their tears are real). There was an other scandal around employees conditions and non-paiement for their work etc...
If you add to it those really problematics sexe scenes, yes Adele is clearly overrated !
(excuse my english i'm french ;) )
I watched Mullholland Drive at 14. My brain hadn't matured enough to comprehend that. Old pelple in a box? A cowboy? WTF.
Had Handmaiden been on this list I would have been beefing with the community page. It's a masterpiece.
I don't think blue is the warmest color is overrated. In fact i think it is an intriguing and must watch.
I think the thing about Carol that was missing was that they didn't explain enough about just how incredibly difficult, and even dangerous it was for women to even just meet other women. Or even admit to themselves that they wanted to.
Compulsory heterosexuality was SOOOOOO strong in the 50s (and 60s and 70s, although it started shifting in the 70s). Carol did what SOOOOOO many women did in those days and married a man. And then realized she wanted to be with women.
If you lived through compulsary heterosexuality, like I did, the movie makes way more sense and is way more meaningful. But even having lived through that horror (and it was horrible. People wouldn't just leave me in peace about it, and there were always males hovering and pushing for it), I still believe the movie would have been more powerful if it had made it more explicit. Because then you understand better why it was such a big deal for Carol to meet Therese.
They also should have gone more into why Carol's relationship with Abby didn't work out. Because this also explains why it was such a big deal for Carol to meet Therese (I know there were Carol and Abby scenes that were cut. Maybe someday there will be a release that puts them back in). "Flung out of space" resonates very differently when you know more about the back story.
Having said this, I still love the movie. When Carol tells Therese she loves her is still one of the most beautifully heartbreaking scenes I've ever seen.
And the scene where they have lunch, and Carol is trying to figure out Therese's situation without being obvious (because to do so could literally destroy her life if she is wrong about Therese), is a masterpiece, IMHO. Because back in the day I have done the exact same thing, with practically the exact same words and feelings ...
And, of course, the cinematography and costumes and sets were gorgeous. As was Cate Blanchett.
All of the above is of course imho ...
Mulholland Drive is one of my favourite movies. I don't think it is overrated.
The Kids are Alright, left me very disappointed. It was really the first big budget, mainstream lesbian movie with a big named cast. The cast were amazing, I just think it 1. could have been better and 2. was SOOO put off by the cheating with a man thing...being a lesbian who has been waiting for a movie like this for, at the time, close to 50 yrs, and we have cheating with a man, my first reaction was all the non LGBTQ+ people who watch will have the "she's not really gay, she just needs to meet the right man." That just rubbed me the wrong way. The Favorite was ok, I think it could have been better. What I got out of it was something I already knew, Olivia Colman is AMAZING! I have been a huge fan since stumbling onto Broadchurch. I remember her being great and I loved the scenery, but honestly, I hardly remember the other actresses at all. The script just really lacked. Carol, well, I was looking for ward to that one. Cate Blanchet is such a great actor, and, well, she is very pleasant to look at, I just could not relate to the characters. The cinematography was great, the costumes were great, I just could not find anything about the characters I could hold onto, except the custody thing, and that is because I can relate, in the early 1990's I went through the same thing. Which is freakin sad that there is a period drama and my life having to deal with hemophobia vs parenting. Usually when I see a GOOD movie or TV show, my mind wonders "what happens next"...to the characters, unless it's something like Game of Thrones, nearly everyone is dead at the end. A good character stays with me, at least for a few days, some decades...(so thankful Shane, Alice, Bette and Tina are back.) Mulholland Drive. OMG...SO, I watched it 4 times, 4 times, and honestly I still don't know what they hell went on. Now, I have watched movies like this...I was a film, television major in college, film teachers always pull out the weirdest things they can get their hands on, so I have watched movies that you REALLY have to pay attention to, or movies that leave you thinking WTF? SO, watched the movie when it first came out, yes, hot lesbian scene, but that was all I could tell people. When asked "how was the movie, " so many times I said, "I have no idea." I watched it again when I went through a Naomi Watts phase, had a little crush, so I gave it another shot, Watched it again with a friend...finially, my cousin, who works in film, went to an anniversary screening of the film in LA (Naomi was not there, but other cast was...because I wanted him to slip her my number..LOL JK). He is younger than me and actually studied the film when getting his masters degree. We talked and talked about theories...but honstly, I'm getting old, I can't spend so much time trying to figure out WTF the movie was trying to tell me. I just want a nice story about lesbians. When will that happen? (BTW, so with you on Eternal Sunshine...I am not usually a Jim Carry fan, but my little cousin told me to watch and, well it did not take me but once to GET what the movie was about, that film is on my top 10 movies of all time, because it was executed well, and the point, well, it spoke to me. I agree with you on Blue..Parts I really liked, parts I did not.
Whaaaat Carol? Come onee
I think that Mulholland Drive is a masterpiece and one of my favorite films ever. But the fact that it has a wlw relationship was just a cherry on top for me. In my reading, it wasn't significant for the story. It could've just as well been an mlm or heterosexual couple. Although I have seen interpretations that would disagree with me.
But Mulholland Drive is very much for people who like films that need to be solved like logical puzzles. Also surreal and with much symbolism. After all, most of this movie is a fever dream of a very mentally unstable protagonist. And you need to figure it out to understand the film. So if this kind of story is not your thing, then, well, it's just not for you.
The warmest color was so depressing.
What's going on here? Carol and the Favorite are absolute masterpieces!!!!!
Evelyn I think your criticism of carol is a bit overboard. I thoroughly enjoyed it
Carol is Overrated because its the only lesbian periodic film with a happy ending.
I saw the kids are alright not long after it came out on DVD and I couldn't remember what it was about. I just remembered I saw it and it was fine. Carol was really boring from what I remember and I honestly didn't remember Mulholland Drive was a lesbian film. As for Blue aka the most hyped three hour French art house lesbian coming of age movie ever made it was pretty good. I've seen it about four times and own it on Blu-ray and even though it is vary French I thought it was great. the ending is so crush even after watching it a couple of time that saying I love it seems wrong. But there is a beauty and feeling to it that gets me.
With Carol the I literally can't get over Rooney Mara with her big eyes she reminds me of a child and I literally feel uncomfortable
I couldn't agree more! She wasn't right for that role.she had no chemistry with Cate Blanchett and that's hard not to do. The book was so much better!
So glad to see someone else say this. Rooney Mara looks younger than she is and Cate Blanchett looks older than she is (sorry, she does) which compounds the age difference component. It gives the whole seduction a predatory almost pedophiliac quality that I found very off-putting. Ick.
Water lilies, Rafiki, The Girl king, The Chinese Botanist's daughters, Bye Bye Blondie, What keeps you alive, The happiest season, Fried Green Tomatoes... sorry for the fans -_-
Two things
1. Your editing/comedic timing is so on point I love it
2 I'm glad to see your defending blue is the warmest color I thought it was a legitimately great movie and the hate came out of no where, because if my memory serves me correctly everyone loved it when first came out now it's whack. All this over a sex scene and what's even crazier I've seen lesbians defend the scene and say it's accurate but idk I'm not a lesbian but still I think it's a good film and gets to much hate now a days
yep, i remember when Blue first came out, people were bending over backwards to praise it lol
Hate to say, but when we crave for representation, anything close to being mediocre becomes legendary or classic. It's the scarcity issue, not the artistic taste of the lesbian community.
With lesbian movies still being niche and indie, almost all lesbian movies with modest quality may earn overwhelming loyalty and excitement of the community. I hope to see the day, when the major production companies invest its fair share in telling the stories of the LGBTQ, and these movies all compete just the way movies do. May the future hold fair representation of lesbians in movies and tv shows and we don't have to find joy and solace from mediocracy. (But I still love Carol!)
true
👍👍👍
Blue is the warmest color was boring!! Did not like it at all.
My All the time Fav's are..
1..Carol
2..Portrait of a lady on fire
3..Kiss me
Hollyweird giving best picture awards to average if not downright mediocre and bad movies? I'm shocked I tell you, shocked.😂 (Not really)
Its like their bread and butter nowadays just like making endless sequels and reboots absolutely no one asked for.🤷🏾♂
I found there were mistakes. What did Terese ask Carol what her name was at lunch? She saw her account info, she sent her gloves back to her??? I don’t get it!
Blue is the Warmest Colour is 3 hour extended p*rn with a depressing storyline.
the favourite director has this style of directing which I think is kinda weird but I love it so much he does it with all his films but I see how some people don't like it I personally think it's one of the best films of 2018
Carol's lack of chemistry between the two women is disturbing and I don't see how other lesbians aren't bothered by it?? It takes you completely out of the film as you watch two straight woman have zero interest in each other 😐
Here I will take the heat off ya. THE MOST OVERRATED ONE is A Portrait of a Lady on Fire. A big ole snore fest!!!!
This is surely a very bold list :D
I haven't seen Mulholland Drive and The Favorite yet, so i cannot say anything about them, but i totally see what you mean about Carol... I heard about it on a lesbian channel and decided to check it out cos they were obsessed with it lol But... i just didn't 'feel' it so to speak. I liked the brown haired actress but that was kinda it 😅 Don't get me wrong - the cinematography is outstanding and the actresses did an amazing job but i guess it's just not my type of film. Plus I'm not a fan of Kate Blanchett's since she is the main reason ppl love this film i guess 😉
When it comes to Blue is the warmest color I still don't know what i feel about it lol I've watched it 3 times and i'm gonna watch more :D but yes, those close-ups and sex scenes just could have been done better - not in such an annoying way :) That said, it was the first lesbian film I ever watched so i guess I'm a bit biased :D Plus Lea Seydoux was AMAZING there 😳
Lol Carol made the list!! Thanks Evelyn.
I watched the whole BITWC and I regret it... it was just too much and uncomfortable for me to watch.
The Favourite was a great movie, acting, directing and above all hysterically dark and humorous. Carol I read the book years ago and the film brought it to life. Cate Blanchett can take my photo any day of the week! Blue is the warmest colour I found vulgar and a turn off for me. It made me feel extremely uncomfortable and I believe the female leads also spoke out afterwards to say they didn’t like the way it’s director treated them during that six minute scene.
You are definitely right about blue is the warmest color and the kids are alright 🤔🤨😳
Well I have a soft spot for carol, so... but yes I can pretty much relate where you are coming from. I feel more like the Favorite and Mulholland Drive are kind of movies with lesbians in it rather than lesbian move stricto-sensus.(i kind of felt the same. For Blue, if i had not seen bound, loving Annabelle or below her mouth I would probably like it more than i did.
The favourite should not be in this list!!!
I feel like people grade David Lynch movies on a curve. They tolerate a lot of artiness, weirdness and silliness they would just write off anywhere else.
Could you tell me, what's the name of the website 02:02 you were seeing? please.......
Blue is the Warmest Color... isn't good. It has moments but it isn't good.
This list was accurate. Adele’s chewing alone earned this top spot...shit!!
Thank you! Finally someone is saying what I have been thinking about Carol. And Blue is the warmest color was a huge disappointment, might have worked as a short film. I don't agree about The Favorite, though. Amazing and original!
Okay but can we talk about the handmaiden for a sec. I watched it because everyone was like "ohh its so good" but when I watched it the plot fucked with me too much. I do enjoy the relationship in the movie and think the actresses have great chemistry but the whole sex dungeon type thing threw me off
Carol is not overrated.... c'mon. Geez. One of the few lesbian films with popular actresses, realistic, and a happy ending. Nah.
oh also idk if anyone already pointed this but in blue is the warmest color the actresses didnt really wanted or felt comfortable during the sex scene. if im not mistaken they were really pressured and kinda hate the movie or smth. im not exactly sure on what happened but it was pretty bad
I LOVED the Favourite, yes Carol was overrated but still good. Mulholland Drive was voted the BEST Picture of the 20th Century, so sad that it went OVER your head.
I adore _Mulholland Dr,_ but you don't need to be rude about it. To each their own, _verdad?_

You are rude and ignorant !
@@mouadnador4355 In what context am I rude and ignorant? Hmm? Oh, you don't know what the word CONTEXT means or how to apply it do you? So, it looks like you're the ignorant one.
The Favourite is one of my... hm favorite movies of all time. It is very witty, brilliantly written and enacted, i loved the camera work, editing, all the small details that the film is charged with. It is also stylish AF.
I can easily recite more than a few lines from it (which I actually do frequently) as the writing is incredibly sharp. Performances from Weisz and Colman are captivating and nuanced. Lantimos made a thing of beauty, not overrated by any means imo.
