“i understand it, i just don’t like it” is the REALEST thing i’ve heard in a while!!

“as a Bradley Cooper anti” MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD 😭

OH MY GOD ! Thank you Hannah for mentioning how Dune is inspired by Arabic culture and Islam. So many similarities that I was baffled not a lot of people have made the connection.

Reign fundamentally just has ridiculously good chemistry between the two leads to work with that just intoxicates you

25:33 32:01 I love that you unapologetically brought this up and pointed out the hypocrisy. Whether people like to admit it or not, media is political, and such films reflect our society and history. Love you Hannah 🫶 we need more people like you in this world

reign being a guilty pleasure is so real

Who agrees that Hannah is like a big sister🤚🏻💖

Young Royals is incredible!! Best. series. finale. ever 😭

No cuz why do I wanna watch Dance With Devils now based on Hannah's increasingly unhinged descriptions 😭 the clary and jace comment was the last straw 😭

"prepare urself" I'm sat 🐥

Girl you NEED to do a fanfiction video im BEGGING you. I need this in my life rn 😭 like all your fav fan fictions, or specific recs idk anythingggg Also love this vid it was so fun

Was literally on the verge of a mental breakdown (time for a Raven Cycle reread) and then got a new Hannah vlog. So happy ❤

If you liked Young Royals I think you’d really love Skam, the original Norwegian version. The cast feels like very real awkward teenagers, it’s funny without trying too hard and season three has a lot (if not more) of the yearning and angst that Young Royals has.

I 100% get how Poor Things made people feel uncomfortable and why it wasn't their cup of tea. I found it a very raw and taboo movie. Calling this a feminist movie because it tells the story of a woman and has sex is driving me crazy. It is not a feminist movie, It's a movie about the human experience, it is a film that has many phenomenological and existential concerns and deals with very taboo topics. What I will say is that I believe that falling in the "taboo topic trap" as a viewer makes a viewer weak...? What I mean by that is that I saw a lot of people critisizing the movie for many superficial and meretricious reasons. Also for what I've seen (and Hannah you have actually ben an exeption to that) is that people not liking this film for all those superficial taboo reasons actually critisize the ones that do? I think art is very important to be discussed and calling people out for liking a movie just because you don't agree with the way it explores sexuality and taboo topics is kinda dumb sorry-not-sorry. Have a discussion like an adult so that both parties of an argument can grow. All the love!!

YES, YES Charles Melton’s performance literally carried May December and him not getting nominated is insane 😭

I nearly choked on my water laughing when you were talking about Dance with Devils 😂😂😂

Hannah loving Sense8 makes me so happy, that show is not talked about enough 🙌🏻

I am generally not really into romcoms, but my absolute favourite is About Time. Maybe the reason why I like it so much is because it is not solely about romantic love, but also about love for family and friends and it is generally about life as well. Highly recommend to anyone who has not watched it :)

As someone WHO DOES NOT enjoy any iteration of the Pinocchio story (including the novel) Guillermo del Toro's version of it is one of my favourite animated films of all time. It's breathtaking.

If you haven’t seen it already, I recommend watching Derry Girls. Super funny and wholesome tv show based in Northern Ireland during the 1990s.

If Crimson Peak is your first Del Toro film then you have to watch Pan's Labyrinth!!! It's dark and it's scary but it's also a fairy tale!

I love-hate this video bc it’s reminding me of the 85+ movies on my “to watch” list that I have not watched yet😭😭

I also Adore "Love, Rosie", I saw "Never let me go" in 2010 when it came out and remember loving after having read the book it but that was a long time ago, "One Day" was heartbreaking and incredible - I sobbed too.

I would highly recommend the Artful Dodger (Disney +) it’s sooo good. It’s light but also dark, slow burn romance, drama, high stakes etc.

If you want to watch something like Young Roylas, watch Skam. It's a norwegian teen series. There are four seasons and they are all great 😊

Finally someone who feels the same way about Notting Hill 😭 thank you for validating me lol

Not me live reacting in the comments but also its SO good to see you Hannah and i reflected so much while looking at this video bc i realized you are responsible for so much of my taste, that we know enjoy the same things before i even get your recs, and what great taste it is❤️ this channel is like a warm big hug and i hope youre doing good and taking care of yourself most importantly!

Hey hannah as someone who used to watch kdrama a lot before but kinda in a kdrama slump for a couple of years, I totally recommend Queen of tears! It just ignites my kdrama love again

Oh my god, thank you for loving Saltburn as much as I do! It immediately became one of my favorite films ever & I find myself thinking about that movie a lot!

FINALLYYYY someone gets the obsession with Anatomy of a Fall. I love this movie so much I’ve forced everyone to watch it with me

I love Notting Hill. The friends dynamic in this movie is superb

If you like romance anime, I recommand The Apothecary diaries and Skip and Loafer. One is an well crafted historical drama, the other one is a slice of life wholesome comedy

Almost an hour with Hannah! Loved it❤ thank you for your great recommendations

Film editor here. You and I have very different tastes it seems. Spoilers. Also, I'm only gonna talk about last years' movies that I've watched, not the others. Saltburn- I do not get the hype. I agree more with Broey Deschanel on this one than you. I liked it overall, but it did feel like a cross between a dulled-down version of Pasolini's Teorama and, of course, Ripley (both the book and the movie version). May December- Absolutely loved it. From the hot dog line to the "father-to-son" dialogue on the rooftop, it was some of the funniest kino this whole year. This is probably Haynes' funniest movie. I shock-laughed so many times. The Holdovers- A pleasant Christmas movie, lacking the ferocity of Payne's first collab with Giamatti. Poor Things- A nice coming-of-age drama told in a Shelley-punk format. I loved it. Vehemently disagree with you on Stone's Oscar. This is the most demanding role in terms of physical comedy that she has ever had. In some scenes, she seems to be channelling Chaplin. Loved her in this. The question of "Is X feminist?" discourse is poison for me (I agree with Lindsay Ellis that that question should be destroyed. Movies cannot be feminist. Feminism is a lens of analysis. A piece of art cannot be feminist or anti-feminist or whatever. Same goes for Marxist, or whatever -ist there is). Past Lives- Agree with you mostly. This is the best movie on your list for me. As Film Crit Hulk says, dramatic clarity is so rare to see these days. So it's good to see it done so well that a shot of two characters standing apart on a pavement, waiting for a cab, can feel so incredibly alive. Song is a master at her new craft Anatomy of a Fall- Agree with you on this one. Incredible turn from Triet and Huller. But the most scarring moments for me are a few horrifying images constructed from the sense-memory of a child. IYKYK. Dune 2- Meh, it's alright. Villenueve has never been for me. I still think Enemy is his best work. Oppenheimer- It's mostly because of Jennifer Lame's editing that this works so well. It's so thinly held together, like a single egg holds an entire baked pie crust together. Without Lame, this would have turned into a pile of incomprehensible nonsense. The editing turns this into a fever dream floating on a river of guilt and the horrifying need to technologically progress ourselves. Maestro- Disagree with you on Bradley but also disagree on this movie lol. I loved A Star is Born and will remember those two cuts near the end (IYKYK) for a long time. This movie was not remotely well directed, and the editing was at times bizzarre. There is actual connective tissue and causation missing between conflicts and resolution of those conflicts sometimes, to the point where it doesn't feel finished. How Cooper came up with this after A Star is Born is a mystery. Killers of the Flower Moon- Incredible for me. Scorsese's humility and the willingness to learn new things put this right up there with the greatest oil epics like There Will Be Blood or Jarhead. Also it's so clear how hard he's been trying to get The Searchers out of his system and he's done it now, hopefully. Thelma Schoonmaker remains the greatest editor alive. This should've won Best Picture, American Fiction- Oscar-bait seems to be evolving, because I would definitely consider this to be one. A terrible adaptation of a book whose best moments only make sense in the book, because they're playing with literary form. Most of the satire is completely gone. If you want a version of this that doesn't feel as toothless and afraid to offend the same white liberal demographic that it is trying to criticize, watch Spike Lee's Bamboozled. The Zone of Interest- The world's first Hannah Arendt movie, perhaps? The two temporal cuts near the end are devastating. There are exactly two hilarious moments in this movie (one involving a letter and another is the last two shots of the film) and they both land perfectly. Loved this one. Glazer has always directed every genre of movie like an alien, like he's never watched any other film from that genre. Under the Skin, Birth and Sexy Beast are all testament to that. Additional movie recs from 2023 A.V. Rockwell's A Thousand And One, D. Smith's Kokomo City, Albert Serra's Pacifiction, Tran Anh Hung's The Taste of Things, Wes Anderson's Roald Dahl short films, Wes Anderson's Asteroid City, Alice Rohrwacher's La Chimera, Victor Erice's Close Your Eyes. Kitty Green's The Royal Hotel, Koji Fukada's Love Life.

Very much appreciate that you actually made this video since it clearly took a while, but like I've said before, always appreciate when Bookterneters talk film/tv/other mediums of storytelling cuz !!!!

yes to the love for anatomy of a fall 😭👏🏼 literally still thinking abt that film its so so good

26:08 thank you sm! Noone talks about these things except you. That's why I love your channel!!!

I enjoyed “Poor Things.” It was pretty, funny, weird, and entertaining. However, I don’t think it can be wholeheartedly labeled as feminist. There are certainly feminist themes (sexual liberation, female autonomy, etc.), but none that I think are explored in an effectively feminist way. Most definitely, it suffered from the male gaze.

if you liked a sign of affection then you should try watching this kdrama called twinkling watermelon which also has deaf characters involved in a romance as a subplot. It’s like a coming of age show and it’s so comforting, has found family and the writing and acting are good imo.

you should totally make more videos like this! I really enjoyed it

oh my gosh Hannah you have no idea how much i needed thissss

hi, i don’t know if you’ll ever see this, but i HIGHLY recommend watching a kdrama called My Dearest, it’s the best kdrama i’ve seen, like probably ever. it’s a historical kdrama set in the 1600s when korea was invaded by the qing dynasty, and the story and romance are so so beautiful. the acting is phenomenal as well, and i myself am not a huge fan or enjoyer of historical kdramas, but My Dearest literally made me rewatch it (i’m rewatching it rn) because it’s THAT good.

im so glad someone else is struggling with reading this year- ive fully been in my watching era and it makes me feel so guilty that im not using the time for reading but im really not feeling it.

Omg i agree with you for so many things especially for Jujutsu Kaisen. I was also in a kdrama slump but Twinkling Watermelon get me out and is now in my top 3 kdrama, and I've watched quite a lot. Love your videos ✨️

love rosie praise in the first 10 minutes 😭🙏🩷

thank you, my queen 🛐💗

The way you felt about The Holdovers is the exact same way i felt about Past Lives 😅 I just felt like "it's a story we've seen a thousand times/it's just a movie not an 'oscar' movie/etc"

I sobbed after Past Lives for so long that the theater lights came on and they started cleaning and i couldn’t get myself to stop crying. I think that movie hit me in a place so very personal that it meant everything to me. Love it so much.

If you liked Bottoms, you’ll love bodies, bodies, bodies!! Where one is a satire romcom, the other is a satire slasher and its HILARIOUS. Rachel Sennott is also in it and shes so good in these comedies

I'm glad to know your hunger games brainrot is still going strong because i have NOT moved on either 😭 I wonder where the ballad movie would fit in your ranking ? We will wait however long it takes you to make that video about the movies, but best believe that when you're ready, i WILL be seated. Also it was lovely to listen to you talk passionately about an interest other than books!

Not an ad for Poor Things playing during this video💀 KZfaq . . . Jail

omg i can SO relate to the obsession with films over movies. I'm wrapping up my last semester of junior year at college and it's been a LOT. so by the time i can wind down i don't feel like reading or writing bc that's all I do for assignments (creative writing major)

ANOTHER WIN FOR ANATOMY OF A FALL HIVE!!😭🙏

my favourite tv show EVER, Black Sails, is now on Netflix US, and I think you would love it!! starts off slow but builds so so deliciously.

Omg i love crimson peak - it is so underrated!

Yes CRIMSON PEAK!! Finally someone who loves it as much as I do 😂

The Killers of the Flower Moon book is worth reading if you liked the film! They take different approaches so it's not a repetitive experience and it is a really excellently written book

NOT DANCE WITH DEVILS I WATCHED THST BACK WHEN I WAS 13 AND EVEN BACK THEN I KNEW IT WAS RIDICULOUS 😭 Genuinely so curious at what made you pick it up Hannah 🤣

Thanks for going through all of these! I'll watch some. Also, my sister and I were huge Reign fans as teenagers. Yes, terrible show but we were OBSESSED

Love the video! Please do more talking about movies and tv shows 🖤

i was also UNWELL during that last episode of One Day oooooh my god?? i do not cry at tv or movies often let alone SOB

Omg you NEED TO WATCH GUILLERMOS' OTHER MOVIES!!! His entire catalogue is gold!! I love his brain and his art. The shape of water, pinoccio, El Laberinto del Fauno, (which admittedly I haven't watched 😅 I'm waiting to watch it when the season is best. Maybe spring is the right time tho). Also, the man is like the wholesome godfather of Mexico. We love him, he seems like a wonderful human being ❤

I have been waiting for this video!!!

Totally agree with your opinion on Poor Things. Theres one specific scene early in the film where she’s blowing bubbles that made me turn it off and collect myself before continuing two days later. It just made me feel icky.

Youre just like me with Reign 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i was also extremely obsessed with Frary 💜

Watch The Artful Dodger! It’s an Oliver Twist spin-off but follows the antagonists and has such a cute romance

highly recommend Encounter for seaside romance kdramas!! not really small town (its set in sokcho) but its very sweet, great soundtrack... and the first episode takes place in havana!!

I'll always love My Best Friend's Wedding omgggg it's such an interesting subversion of romcoms, and it occupies a similar place in my heart that Book Lovers does because of that

I too watch things just because an actor I like is in it lol I feel you

I love your videos. They are like my comfort watch ❤

Anatomy of a Fall was wonderful!!! Still don't know who the killer was... One Day brought me to tears...so good!

i have the strongest feeling you'd love frieren, skip to loafer, and apothecary diaries !! romantic animes are so back

i love how you unapologetically say you're against the genocide of Palestinians! it's sad not many in youtube are doing that...

Hannah in her film era, love it! I am a big cinema fan. I am lucky to get cheap movie tickets so I go cinema regularly for any movie whose trailer interests me enough :D

Thanks for the great recs! I really feel like I've stopped watching tv/movies since a few years. Like I watch 1 or 2 things a year haha So this was really helpful! 💖 I would also totally eat up a video of you recommending us some kdramas 🫢 just saying... ❤❤

You using the word "classic" about movies from the late 2000s has me booking prostrate exams over here...

I just got out of a breakup and I need a new hyper fixation. This is making me excited to try getting into film, as someone who also doesn’t watch movies and likes watching the same things over and over again!

Dune part 2 is probably my favorite movie of the year

Lily Gladstone is excellent in everything. Certain Women isn't overall my fave but I think it's worth the watch for her performance.

“Something in the Rain” I would die if you saw this drama. BEST KDRAMA EVER ❤

you should definitely watch Fellow Travelers if you’re in the mood for a show to rip your heart out and stomp it, my best friend and I were screaming at the TV and sobbing by the end of it. it was so so so well done, so much nuance, a beautiful yet heartbreaking story with great acting!

If you haven’t, watch good omens. Idk why, but I feel like you might like it. I binged it recently and loved it so much.

I really liked the bear. I think it was the first time I saw a show that depicted so well anxiety, that sticky feeling you can’t shake off. I also spotted references to a French movie « la haine « when Richie makes faces in front of his mirror. I am not American so at first I thought they were in New York and some things were kind of enigmatic to me but it was interesting to watch !

I understand that it’s a gothic horror and everything and I love that movie too, but you saying that “they always have to incorporate incest” and then talking about how much you enjoyed crimson peak was so funny to me

All of Us Strangers will break your heart and mend it and break it again. the cast is tiny, just Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal, and two actors playing parents, so it almost feels like a stage production at times. I'm currently grieving my mother and found it so validating.

Ykw i absolutely get your gripes with jjk, like completely. My thing is that i‘m wayyy too attached to the characters😭they madee my 2021-2022 and the first season has become a comfort watch🤭

Hannah... your taste is impecable, I also didn't like poor things i hated watching it and you described perfectly my thoughts about the whole discourse online. I also loved anatomy of a fall, it was also my top pick for the oscars, sandra huller was amazing, i need more of her and justine triet. I also agree that young royals had the perfect ending omg.

Hannah omg thank you for validating me with Poor Things!! I was so sick of people saying I didn’t have media literacy for absolutely hating it. To me it felt like Yorgos Lathimos the director didn’t care to learn about a woman’s anatomy or autonomy and just wanted aesthetically pleasing shots and that was very apparent through certain scenes which was very disappointing since Emma Stone was one of the main producers but I digress. If you like small town K-Dramas and you haven’t seen it already I highly recommend Summer Strike. The main male lead is an introverted librarian.

I NEED A VIDEO ON UR POOR THINGS TAKES PLEASE!!

So hilarious that you watched The Matrix the first time this year as well! It’s changed my life, I understand memes about red pill and blue pill now 😂

I'm so happy to see some Crimson Peak love! I feel like the marketing really let it down because people expect horror with a side of gothic, but it was far more gothic with a side of horror, to put it simply. It really is a hauntingly beautiful movie, and the detail GDT put into it was astounding.

This makes me want to go back and rewatch all the older films you mentioned. I've seen most but I feel I wasn't at an age where I could appreciate it or I'm a different person now, if that makes sense. Though, Love Rosie will always be a yearly watch ❤

Girl watch Queen of tears. I havent been this obsessed with a show in soo long!!

Love Atonement, it's very heartbreaking, but one of the most aesthetically pleasing movies I've watched. The Bear is also very good and obviously Dune is fantastic. If you haven't seen them yet, I would recommend Outlander, one of the best series ever!! The Queens Gambit, Desperate Housewives (classic) and Movies I looove Brooklyn, I don't know how many times I watched it, it's just beautiful :)

Since you said you weren't really a movie watcher until this year, I have a rec: I think you'd really like The Fall (2006) with Lee Pace (directed by Tarsem Singh). It's a fantastical story about storytelling, and it's so emotional and beautiful. It's also the most visually stunning movie I've ever seen in my life!! Highly highly recommend.

when i first saw poor things i was doing a unit on frankenstein for my lit class and we were reading it through a feminist lens so i LOVED poor things. i ate it up and i adore it. but if you dont like it, its certainly not because you “didnt get it” or something. i can see how someone could do a feminist reading of it but i dont think it is a ‘feminist film’. its a divisive movie and i totally get why you didnt like it.

Okay this might be my favourite video I've seen this week. At this point I'm pretty sure I would watch you review trash bags and be entertained. You can articulate your thoughts and opinions in such an insightful and coherent way I can only ask you for one thing - please upload more
