I truly believe if in those times, that I would have been really good at doll-making. And I would be beyond ecstatic for a ribbon room!
One thumbs up - it was alright, but Hong Chau was great and never disappoints.
Loved the song 'Red Dragonfly' (Cho Yong Pil) during the tussle. Also learnt about soundtrack vs. score afterwards.
One and a half thumbs up - good commentary about class and AI on the workforce. Should not make the comparison but I find Parasite to still be better.
Oh Domhnall Gleeson really is a lovely kind man! They all are in this film.
One and three quarters thumbs up - forgot it was another Richard Curtis, but that also explains why I really like it. Also, banger soundtrack.
Second time watching in the cinemas, and still missed out on the same first few minutes! I cried in the same spot though.
Two thumbs up - the beauty is in how restrained it is.
The szechuan popcorn at Golden Age Cinema was just perfect!
One thumbs up - started off one and a half thumbs up, but lost some thumbs because that was just too slow. Beautiful shots, but we don't need to linger for that long.
Most of the scenes with Julie and Aksel just gets to me.
One and three quarters thumbs up. I don't even particularly like her and there are a few scenes that are a bit weird to me, but I actually really like this movie as a whole. It's complicated and I like it.
They swap houses within 24 hours of exchanging messages. I have so many logistical concerns e.g. how will I have enough time to pack my bags but also change the sheets for you? And what I am going to do with my laundry that is still not washed. I am not comfortable with you in my house whilst I still have dirty underwear in the hamper. I mentioned this at Christmas and no one else seemed to share my concern.
One thumbs up - paid more attention than it's usual background status and realised some plot points are a bit icky. Can still let it go for this holiday movie.
I laughed so hard when she matter-of-factly said she was not afraid if the wife got physical, because she knows kung fu.
One and a quarter thumbs up - and again, HOW did they film this??
Realised it was Sean Penn a lot later than I should have. And am wondering if he got that jacked for the film, or are those veins prosthetic make-up artistry?
One and a quarter thumbs up - surprisingly that was a lot funnier than I expected! Maybe my top PTA, but I always had mixed feelings anyway.
"It's a fairytale town, isn't it. How's a fairytale town not someone's fucking thing?....How can fucking swans not fucking be somebody's fucking thing eh?"
One and a half thumbs up.
