      As someone who actively dislikes the original for being kinda dull and without any meaningful arc or characterization - "Maverick" was one of the most Boombastic and joyful cinematic experiences I had in 2022

    I really WANTED to like "Where the Crawdads Sing", since I liked the book it's based on. However, it seemed like a Lifetime movie which somehow received a theatrical release, and despite Daisy Edgar Jones' fine performance, it just felt steeped in clichés.

    Thanks so much for your Best and Worst picks of 2022. "Aftersun" was truly my favourite film, since it really captures a parent and child's relationship from both a child and adult's perspective. It's a great way of showing how childhood innocence can blind us to the realities of life, especially where our parents are concerned. Paul Mescal and Frankie Corio were truly outstanding, and I hope that they're both up for a plenitude of nominations come Awards Season.

    I must be the only person who didn't fall in love with Aftersun. Elvis should have been a miniseries. Enjoyed Emily the Criminal. Here is hoping it doesn't take another 30 years for a third Top Gun film. Yet we are getting a new Jurassic World film. I rather see a new Venom film that see Morbius again. Even my parents were shocked that they made a film about Where the Crawdad sing.

    I thought Smile was above average. However, it could have been great. It is basically a werewolf movie were you don't know if they have transformed or not and the only victim is themselves...., so treat it as such and the protagonist being a psychologist she would have access to drugs, constraints, and other professionals that could have helped her. If we had seen it from their perspective it would have been more interesting. Try to protect her from herself. Self-harm angle and such you know.

  • @freemantle85
    @freemantle85 Рік тому

    My thoughts on the films I saw in the list:
    Aftersun - a very British indie film in the vein of Lynne Ramsay and Andrea Arnold. It was deep with characters and themes but the narrative was loose.
    Elvis - I loved it as a lavish musical biopic. The themes were familiar to other musical biopics but at least Elvis told it with gusto.
    Parallel Mothers - I agree that Penelope Cruz was great in the film but it felt like two different stories smashed together.
    Three Thousand Years of Longing - It reminded me of Life of Pi because there was it was a special effects-heavy arthouse film. I liked the ambition and there was a lot to admire but the heart of the story was only evident in the final act.
    Top Gun: Maverick - better than Top Gun since there are stakes and it acknowledges Tom Cruise's advancing years. I recommend watching the Owlkitty video if you want a good-natured parody.
    Jurassic World: Dominion - it was better than Fallen Kingdom. Jurassic Park only really worked as a one-and-done, not a franchise.
    Morbius - I could have watched the Blade films instead. The most fun part of the film was seeing how badly the London Underground doubled for the New York Subway
    Prey for the Devil - It felt like a bland horror film made in the 2000s.
    Smile - Thank you, I wasn't the only one who disliked it. There was some nice directional flash but it felt like Ringu and It Follows way too much and I'm surprised no one noticed the daisy chain of suicides.
    Where the Crawdads Sing - a film made for middle-aged ladies. Daisy Edgar-Jones shows a lot of promise as a performer. It was average, although I judge the shopkeepers for not calling social services or not taking in Kya and letting a 7-year-old girl sell mussels.

    I've intentionally avoided Elvis this year despite my love of musicals and everything Baz Luhrmann does solely because of what a piece of shit Elvis the person was and how tired I am of the unquestioning worship he's continued to receive over the years. All the praise around the film definitely makes it a little harder to resist but I can't imagine it's going to be 2.5 hours of the critical spotlight I'm wanting shone on Elvis' life.

    I'm an English teacher and my colleagues had all read 'Where the Crawdads Sing' so we went to it as a faculty outing. This was the only reason I did not walk out on the film. The main character was tastefully impoverished, wanted by all men but at the same time the grossest girl ever and always looked like she'd walked out of a cottage-core aesthetic instagram page. It went on for far too long and the characters were boring at best and unbelievable at worst.
    Perhaps the worst thing about the experience was my quip afterwards that 'man, didn't even hear the crawdads sing' was taken as a serious remark as they all advised me that crawdads were crustaceans.
    I know they are.

Loved the style and felt a genuine passion coming from the film that you don't get with many bigger budget films these days...
