    In a year where both the third Fantastic Beasts AND Bullet Train exist, I really wasn't expecting a Marion Cotillard prestige pick out of Cannes to be the worst thing I saw all year, but good God, Arnaud Desplechin's Brother and Sister was HILARIOUSLY horrendous.

    Of what I saw last year (only halfway through my 2022 watchlist), the worst is clearly Amsterdam. Never seen a more clear example of actors performing AT each other than with each other. As for the script, every scene is characters talking about what they’re doing, what they’ve done and what they’re going to do. Insufferable.

    I really hated Babylon so much. SO MUCH. Though I was never bored watching it and always fascinated by just how bizarre the choices were? The biggest disappointment for me was Bones and All, which I also kind of hated. It just felt like high-brow Twilight to me, with an (accidental?) gay or bisexual metaphor which I found kind of offensive
    I liked The Invitation! It should have been R rated and smuttier and trashier, but I had a good time! I also respect that the main character actually chooses to take the power instead of rejecting it, which these kinds of films would usually frown upon. It promised sexy-vampire-Get Out and it delivered sexy-vampire-Get Out

    Hated Nope. There was some great acting and cinematography but the story makes no sense. An organic being can generate electric fields, keep a cloud around itself for weeks at a stretch? Not to mention that ridiculous subplot about the monkey attack that went absolutely no where? I realize a lot of this movie was mean to be metaphor and allegory but it still needs to make sense on its own.

    What movie did I find to be the worst for 2022? My Name Is Sara (2019). It had a limited theatrical release in July. Poor acting performances where I suspect the cast were probably good actors in their native language of Polish. Which made the choice to have the movie in English very questionable. Definitely English wasn't a strong suit for our young protagonist.
    There were other criticisms I had for the film but I forgot what they were over the past six months.
    Jurassic World Domain came in a very close second.

    Alonso, I couldn't disagree more about The Whale. The meaning (literal and metaphorical) of the character and his existential situation was apparent to me throughout. The "freak show" nature of the body prosthetics dissipated in about 10 minutes, and the use of "Moby-Dick" in the original play was preserved for the film. I thought all the performances were great, the score was excellent, and I was deeply moved. Sorry you couldn't "see" this film.

    If your takeaway from The Whale is that it is a "freakshow" with the message of "everyone take a big long look at this fat guy," then you completely failed as a cultural critic in your review. Your mode seems to be to crib off some article in the NY Times rather than actually let the movie itself speak to you, a movie that obviously, overwhelmingly, and profoundly is focused on the humanity of Charlie. I can only assume that you heard the synopsis of the movie, heard the predetermined outrage machine, and literally turned your brain off while actually watching the movie.

      @@BreakfastAllDay That is a generous response to my angry comment about my favorite movie of the year. I edited my comment to remove the inappropriate attack on you as a critic and made my criticism more specific to this one bad review of The Whale. I'm sorry about that.
      Just to vent a little more lol, although hopefully less of a personal attack this time: Unfortunately, you did not extend the generosity and openness of your reply to Aronofsky's film. While you don't necessarily need to be "generous" to a movie, you should review it for what it actually is, rather than an abstraction you create of it based on a predetermined list of expectations that you have for the movie. It seems like people you respect called the movie fatphobic, so you unconsciously fit everything into that abstraction and essentialization. You interpreted a scene of Charlie struggling over food choices as somehow making fun of Charlie, even though that interpretation is completely ridiculous when you place that scene within the film's complex narrative of his life, the death of his boyfriend, his complex relationship with his daughter, his self-loathing (which is a real thing), and so on. It is clearly an empathetic scene. A fair criticism that actually engages with the film is to say that it's overly melodramatic and stagey. But calling it a "freakshow" of fat people is just incoherent with the film that I watched.
      Thank you for taking the high road though with your reply.

    Here's a few Imma name off.
    The Bubble: THE VERY WORST of the year. Easily the worst thing Judd Apatow has ever made, a mastabatory COVID film about celebrities that's also just an excuse for Apatow to air out a lot of grievences. Not one person in the talented cast makes a single funny joke.
    Clerks 3: A key example of a movie that makes you emotional doesn't mean it's a good movie. And the worst part about it is that it's mostly just a flanderized, shitty re-telling of Clerks 1 that makes it so sad and needlessly depressing that I think reflects poorly on Kevin Smith. Poisonous fanservice.
    Eternal Spring: Caught this at a film festival. Guess what guys? It's a propaganda film for Falun Gong! It's a very unique animated doc like Flee, focuses purely on the persecution by the Chinese government but is deliberately vague about what Falun Gong stands for/believes
    Honk for Jesus: Brown and King were carrying that film very hard but it was mind numbingly boring and dull and listless.
    Where the Crawdad Sings: See Alonso's take
    The Whale: See Clerks 3 take, also my comment on that BFAS All Day Review. Just awful source material.
