Movies and TV Shows

And it was only made on a roughly $20M budget! Truly my favourite film of last year, so I'm glad it blew your expectations away!

It was fun and creative and done on a (relative) shoestring budget. But I'm honestly shocked at the high praise and awards. For me, it was a solid 7 or 8 / 10. From the way people have been speaking about it they made it sound like it was a 10 / 10 perfect movie.

YUP!! I was on the same boat, but it's 100% worth the hype. It's an absolutely incredible movie!!!

I found it extraordinary- I'm unsure if another movie has made me feel the whole gamut of emotion like this one did, and each heartstring was tugged differently. Skillful stuff.

I agree, this movie was quite brilliant and refreshing.

Great movie. I enjoyed it as well!

Didn’t it win an Oscar as well?

I watched it on a long flight and started crying at the end of the movie. Glad the plane lights were off and everyone was sleeping.

I felt the same way, that this was another overhyped Hollywood circle jerk, but it was pretty good. At a surface level the story isn't anything amazing. The action sequences were good but nothing revolutionary. For me it was the acting and the core of the story, which to me was about relationships, making the best of your choices, and kindness to others and yourself. For some reason the kindness part really hit me. How they represented it was cheesy as hell, but that didn't stop me from taking that to heart.

I said to myself wtf multiple times during the movie and the end was the biggest 'wtf did I just watch?'

I loved it

I loved this movie to pieces but I have a complicated-but-ultimately-loving relationship with my mom so maybe that's the piece that's missing for all the people who don't quite understand the appeal. It felt very universal though?

Definitely one of my faves.

I haven’t seen another movie quite like it. I really enjoyed it.

It's a very polarizing movie for some reason. I really enjoyed it, so much that I've rewatched it a few times.

What I can't understand it that some people absolutely fucking loathe the movie, just visceral hatred, and I've never seen a good explanation as to why this is.

I don't understand the praise this movie gets. Sure there are some fun gags, but overall it was just a mess that could not keep me interested.

I do like movie creators that step outside the Hollywood mold, that is how we get great movies. But this wasn't great, it was just weird for the sake of being weird.

I'm a weird guy, I'm more of a light hearted fun show/movie enjoyer. This is probably why I don't like Breaking Bad or this movie that much. I do recognize that both of these works are very well done and deserve the praise they deserve but they don't particularly suit my tastes. It just feels too heavy for me to enjoy.

I mean, this is one of my favourite movies in years and this would have been a great post to make 15 months ago when it came out. But since then it's had great word of mouth from audiences, a fantastic critical response, and won a tonne of awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress at the Oscars.

Nobody is underestimating the brilliance of this film at this stage.

It was a stupid generic relationship drama with sci fi and fantasy elements thrown in haphazardly to disguise how utterly boring and mundane it was. The Actors, Artists, and Crew all did a great job, but the actual story was the same drivel every other relationship drama is.
