Faces of Doomscroll

Shit I dated this woman.

I trust Curry Barker with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

DO YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS MARTY? DO YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FUCK A STRANGER IN THE ASS??

Timothee is fucking electric in this, I feel like it’s the first performance I’ve seen where he has been so full of energy that he’s unmissable. Safdie brilliance in camera, story, sound, the whole shabang yet again. I can’t believe that was Kevin O’Leary’s first role, amazing how well he could play a degenerate piece of shit! Possibly the film of the year. Definitely performance, give him that Oscar.

A thing of hard core beauty perfect sums The Brutalist up, a rigid mammoth epic that feels part Once Upon a Time in America and There Will be Blood. Unsurprised by Brody’s performance, but the off-kilter and sometimes wildly disturbing nature was immense, incredibly satisfying.

It’s so meticulously constructed that it felt like watching some monstrous painting come to life. Genuinely is what I’d expect from a film titled something like Megalopolis. As wonderful and deserving Anora is for this years best picture, The Brutalist tops it for me.
