The way they’ve described their second movie as part of a TRILOGY has me so hyped! I can’t wait to watch it over and over again!

They did an episode of The A24 podcast that came out today and they indicated that part three was supposed to be a TV show but they couldn't get it picked up so they're reworking it into a novel. I'm super curious, but certainly would have liked to see the TV show!

I feel like people shouldn't watch this interview before seeing the movie! Now that I've seen it I can't stop listening to Jane talk about it. They were born 3 days before me and my experiences are so similar to theirs, from Buffy to late transition. This movie was incredible and I look forward to more from Jane :)

I just saw it today. It is odd, to say the least. Some David Lynch elements made me wonder how close to reality Owen was. Especially later on in the film. Might need to see it again.

The beauty of cinema. I can tell myself and this director would have LITTLE in common with personal beliefs, but I can appreciate a good movie when I see one. Cinema gives us a chance to all connect regardless of what views we hold, who we vote for, or what we do in our free time.

I think this interview opened my eyes abt the intentions for the film. While i still have beef with it bc i didnt like its anti-conclusion, i get where schoenbrun is coming from and what they wanted to convey to the audience. The context helps! Sadly i will never ever rewatch this movie bc it made me have a dissociative episode and i almost crashed my car leaving the theater :(

It's a direct ripoff of the creepypasta Candle Cove. Syfy channel put it in their Channel Zero series.

@drangusgrangus 20 күн бұрын

sorry to say but the movie blows. cool visuals and music. but wayyyy to much suspense over meaningless dialogue. it seems intentionally obscure to make it seem like there's a meaning -- but the whole thing is fluff. shame -- would have been a good opportunity to share the humanity of a queer experience (something i'm not familiar with and didn't learn anything about here)

@TheMule1 19 күн бұрын

I thought they were going to do a spin at the end that the father killed the daughter or that she committed suicide and Owen buried her. Some crazy twist but no. Saw it in theaters and it would get so loud for no reason and the monologuing.

@PavyAimee 19 күн бұрын

After seeing it, it's not a plot-driven story, it's not about suspense, it's about the experience of these two people being affected by this TV show. A reviewer on Letterboxd said the film is about “how nostalgia can be both an escape and a prison.” I really relate to this. Just my take of course!

@BDazzle77 18 күн бұрын

I would ask you to consider that maybe the movie is not being obscure to seem meaningful, but that the meaning is obscured to you exactly because you don't know much about queerness? I don't think every film about queerness needs to explain what it is to be queer to you. This film has been highly highly resonant with many queer people, and part of that is because it doesn't spend time explaining what it is to be queer. It instead emotionally and visually reflects so much that a portion of its audience is looking to better understand in themselves. There are a large number of films that make for a better introduction to queer cinema, certainly. I might recommend Carol, or Dog Day Afternoon, or Brokeback Mountain, or Pain and Glory. All of these are great films that examine queerness from a perspective that would probably be more accessible, if that is what you're seeking.

@wetchurch 18 күн бұрын

I saw it tonight and I can tell you the movie is telling a story in a language you may not speak. A lot of the scenes that you might or might not recognize as being part of the film's trans theme kind of weave together into this beat-to-beat emotional narrative I think it might only be possible to experience if you're someone who did grow up trans and repressing it. This film is really unique in that it almost feels like the essence of it, the main narrative thread, exists offscreen in the space between the audience and the screen itself, but only if you're able to connect with it in that way.
