score performances story what worked what didn't work let's talk about it in the comments below
so for me personally y'all I was very excited for this film I'm a big Luca fan from seeing his one
of my first times experiences movie was a bigger Splash 2017's comment by your name was beautiful
your boy might sound crazy y'all but I prefer his Suspiria over the original I know it's crazy but
I love me some Suspiria and of course I actually covered his TV series on HBO Max a couple years
back which went by the name of we are who we are so love Luca big fan of Simply Charlemagne love
Taylor Russell and love The Supporting Cast I was here for it is it worth your time is it
worth checking out let's get into my thoughts here let's go back to my man Luca I'm such a
fan of his Direction especially he's one of those directors in my eyes that puts his characters and
puts his story before anything right and he's a very visual Storyteller as well but he folks
is so much on building these characters studying these characters get into their head space and the
way he navigates his narrative where he allows you for better for worse sometimes to really sit in a
scene and really take in the emotions and take in what's going on the atmosphere the tone all
that stuff he's just such a present director it doesn't feel like he's focused of what's going on
later what's happened in the past he's focused on right now in the moment in this scene how could I
make this scene as beautiful as tragic as dark as romantic as possible and I thought his Direction
in this film it's not the shortest spectacular as his previous filmography has given us so I thought
he was just amazing in the direction chair man I love Lucas score and I love when Luca works for
some great composers and we got some of the best in the business I'm talking about Trent retner and
Atticus Ross I love the the way the score infuses you in this journey and it really creates this
sense of dreaded points and it creates a sense of love and just tragedy I just really enjoyed
to score this film it Embraces the time period that this film takes place in which is the 80s
by the way which also shout out to the production as far as costuming hair and makeup the uh we'll
talk about the cannibalism a little bit later the gruesome moments there but I thought all the
production elements especially the cinematography too beautiful pieces of art when we're traveling
through the Midwest with shout out to the Midwest your boys from Chicago currently living
in Missouri it was great going on and seeing the different vast Natures of the Midwest so I
really love the production of this film but I also love the performances now first and foremost we're
going to get to the to the star players but the ensemble cast man Michael theobar Andre Holland
Chloe salinet they didn't have a huge presence in the film but whenever they were on screen I
love those actors I love them collaborating with aluca Andre worked for him the first time I just
thought that those They just added just another layer of just Excellence to this movie but as far
as the Stars man I am a fan of timely chalamet and I really enjoyed his performances film he goes by
the name of Lee now Lee is a feeder himself which we'll talk about what that means but he comes
across our main character you're on this journey of self-discovery coming of age romance and he's
a little bit more of a veteran than she is and you get to hear his backstory his family history
his trauma would let him into becoming a cannibal and what led him to this point in the film and I
thought that it was just a beautiful tale and again Timothy LMA he is the way he's picking
his product so far the way he dives into these Independent films and simply Charlemagne who was
fantastic man I am so impressed by Taylor Russell the first time I saw her was in a film called
waves a24 production one of the most underrated films of the past decade and when I saw her in
that film and it translates into this film she has this sense of vulnerability this kind of Innocence
to her and just her her nature The Way She carries herself you just want to know what's going on in
her head man and she's our main character and this is where the common of age comes about with
our character played by Taylor she is dealing with being Hannibal and just seeing her journey
on growing into her own what her life could look like her and her father's relationship her and her
mother's relationship it's just so many layers and dimensions and just complexity to this character
that I absolutely love and again Taylor Russell is the way that she emotes herself with her eyes
her body language the way that she has Joy the way that she can be tragic the way that she just gives
you everything that you need her to give you in the roles that she's playing fantastic I say all
that great stuff about those young talents and individuals but my goodness Mark rylan's as Sully
as he goes by in third person oh my man I've seen a lot of Mark's Work he can give you everything
he has a vast filmography and little a lot of different genres but I've never seen him play
a menacing person like we see him in this film whatever he was on film it was just you're kind
of on edge you're just like you don't know it was kind of like the Joker I don't know it was
just kind of he wasn't like as heightened as a joker and when you see the film you know I'm in
front of you but it's just like you don't know what he's going to do next he seems nice and he
has this kind of kind of switchblade Billy Bob Thornton kind of accent going on and he seems
like again a nice individual but oh my goodness you don't want to piss off Sully and Mark rylan's
kudos to you the costume was just so kind of chaotic the character's chaotic he does some
chaotic things in this movie too but again the cast absolutely fantastic but Mark stole this
movie for me whenever he was on screen like I said I was on pins and needles but pivoting over to the
beautiful aspects of this movie which is the story it's so beautiful it is just a love story Coming
of Age self-discovery road trip that I enjoy but it's also extremely tragic it's kind of
amalgamation pain homage to film such as Natural Born Killers meets Bonnie and Clyde relationship
as we see this coming of age Romance happen but also when we transition into the elements of the
cannibalism which if you know Luca and coming of age and call me by your name Army Hammer would
have fit perfectly in this film but not in all seriousness when we get to those elements of what
it's like to want to feed and the natural urges and not having self-control it's gruesome like
and again I've seen Luca's work especially with suspira he knows how to shoot those type of scenes
and again shout out to the production because the film doesn't shine away it's showing you people
getting their face eating and their chest and it's pretty gruesome so I will warn you all there but
again it's very tragic and it is very I I hate to use the word fascinating to see this kind of side
of life which I never really look into what people do when they're cannibals and it's pretty dark
y'all and it's also very tragic especially the way that we see how these characters play into it so
those are some things that really stood out to me but transitioning into my criticisms I mentioned
how much I was in love with Taylor's performance and her coming of age story and her coming into
her own as a person but sometimes I feel like the film didn't do the best job of balancing all the
different things of what she's going on what she has going and also the plot whether it's
the various relationships he comes about in this film we're looking for a very important person in
her life her relationship with her father which I wanted a little bit more of that her facing what
it's like to be a cannibal and feeding and having this discussion throughout the film am I a bad
person I just wish that it was it was sometimes a little bit too all over the place I wish it was
a little bit more focused in focusing on our main character and sometimes taking a detour
of adding some of the other elements and I also wish that the film would have leaned more into
that question of self-control or should I say in this case the lack of self-control that these
characters have when feeding their urges and how we can kind of relate not to eating people
not saying that at all but how we can relate in our in our day-to-day lives of different stages
of not having self-control whether it's gambling or alcohol or drug it's just I wish they would
have lean heavily into that aspect of not having control and what it looks like a little bit more
into this film diving into some other things too this film it I felt that true hour and 10 minute
run time especially when we get into the second half I feel like it dragged on I was never bored
in this movie but the pacing was a little bit off in that second half also too without giving away
the ending the the third act kind of has moments where you feel like oh okay this is we're in it
nope it's another 10 minutes oh okay that's a nice ending no it's another 10 minutes so I feel like
there were multiple endings in this film which last thing I want to mention regarding the ending
without giving that away obviously I didn't hate it but I wasn't necessarily the biggest fan of
it like it's very shocking what happens and it leaves you on the edge of your seat I just wish
that it would have hit me more emotionally than I think that the film was trying to get me to
get to that level but it just didn't hit me like I think that it intended to do so before I give you
my score before I give you my overall thoughts if you haven't already again make sure to like
share comment subscribe overall bones and all is what I expected for Luka guadalino fantastic
Direction amazing production beautiful art well as tackling a common of age love story with a lot of
tragedy with a lot of unexpected twists and turns has some shortcomings and again that run time I
wanted a little bit more of Taylor's story and her relationship with her parents but all in all y'all
it's a lot to stomach but it is a really well made film with that being said I'm gonna give
bones and all a 3.8 out of 5 and again I will warn you it is very graphic it can be very dark
but at the end of the day I think it's a beautiful film so with that being said I recommend it and
when you all give it a shot if you do let me know your thoughts in the comments again Pros cons who
were the characters you liked the most what were some elements you didn't like let's have those
