The Banshees of Inisherin (2022)
Glad I watched it, you should too
Imagine you're a potato eating, miniature donkey loving, beer drinking Irishman. Then imagine you're not the brightest bulb in your village. That is the role Colin Farrell played in this movie, and he did great. I had no idea what to expect, I saw it was 8/10 at the time of watching and figured I'd give it a shot.
Well I'm glad I did. It wasn't an epic storyline, but those are a bit boring at this point, let's actually think a bit wouldn't you say? This movie is about death, friends, and our ambitions, and how they sometimes conflict with each other. If you've lived in this world long enough you'll appreciate the subtle drama this movie presents.
I won't give away the end, but it's understandable from an emotional perspective.
Blonde (2022)
Watch it for yourself
I read the negative reviews on here and decided to see what all the fuss was about. I went into it expecting to hate it and like others had said, to turn it off after a half hour. Well that didn't happen, there's something else going on with the negative reviews and I suspect I know what.
Im not saying the movie is perfect, I gave it 10/10 out of spite for the negative reviewers, it's more like an 8 or 9. She's crying every other scene and there's subject matter that made me uncomfortable. But it's a well made dark story, if you're into that sort of thing you'll like it.
Many reviewers said you could hear the actress' Cuban accent through the movie, I didn't hear it and I was looking for it. I did find it interesting though that a common theme was that after about a half hour or so people stopped watching and left a negative review, because that's about the time she got an abortion and later says 'I killed my baby for this?' Wow I wonder what set people off.
Others are talking about the movie exploiting her in death, and that's just childish. It is a work of fiction and it doesn't paint her as an angel, but from what I know about her it isn't all that far fetched, and adults will realize that she had a tough time and maybe wasn't perfect. How many movies have been made about other people who have passed? No outrage there?
So bottom line is: Watch it for yourself, don't listen to the babies.
