you either die an oscar snubbee or you live long enough to see yourself win a razzie

i swear to god...if amy adams gets a razzie before they finally give her an oscar i'm going to riot

(also: this is basically this year "the goldfinch")

gotta admire Ron Howard for making sure Glenn and Amy keep a healthy social distance from that Oscar.

The postman knocked on my door halfway through the movie. We had a very good conversation. The interaction between us was so fun and amusing.

Unlike the script of this movie😐

this is the most wednesday matinee movie i’ve ever seen and if i still worked at a movie theater i would be cornered for 20 minutes afterwards by a geriatric white woman who looks just like old amy adams in this movie and she would give me her full analysis and tell me so many long and pointless stories and i would say “oh yeah?” eleven times and she would never remember my name even though i am wearing a name tag. perhaps she would give me a small totem from one of her many pockets. she would be like a grandmother to me. oh god no one look at me

this was so awful that i physically died during it. call that a Hillbilly Eulogy

not to state the obvious but rich people who have never stepped foot in Appalachia should not be making films about appalachia... especially when they choose to adapt a story from a capitalist republican who exploited his family trauma to stereotype an entire region as “poor just because they’re lazy” while completely ignoring the systems that consistently fail them... it’s very much a neoliberal mockery that is beyond embarrassing and nearly impossible to sit through... what was anyone involved in this thinking 😭 fuck this movie and fuck jd vance 

(also appalachia is visually beautiful and it’s actually okay to show that sometimes)

Now I feel bad for all of the people who bought Ron Howards Masterclass

This movie would never have had to happen if y’all just gave Adams her Oscar for Arrival

Amy Adams said f—k the Oscars, I’m getting my Razzies.

amy adams said i’m going to become the joker

I was wondering how this Oscar contender got such bad reviews, then when I saw the name Ron Howard I was like ohhh makes sense

Now I’m wondering why this was an Oscar contender in the first place. Come on Ron you’re better than this. This movie lasted wayyy to long and it made absolutely 0 sense. The structure, flow, and characters were ass. And this was super irritating at times.

This film really hit home for me.
I thought the direction behind this film was fantastic and although at times it made me feel uncomfortable, the pacing was fantastic.
I really loved the lighting used in this film, it just made every scene feel so alive and real.
The dialogue was realistic and well written.
The acting was really good for the most as well.
There is just something missing from this film, I don’t know what it is, but it’s keeping it from being a 5/5 stars

no le encuentro ningun error a esta pelicula, simplemente arte

Amazing performances by all of the actresses. I felt their frustrations, pains, and scars of their pasts. The story drives home the point of family as the foundation by which we are, but that we must build our own house on top of it.

that white dress shirt don’t quit it’s clean crisp

couldn’t stop thinking about how J.D. Vance graduated from YLS and became J.D. Vance, JD. also...Ron Howard directed THIS???

Outstanding acting.

i am too pretty to watch a movie about hillbillies

Não cheguei a ler o livro, mas pesquisei sobre e vi que o filme ignorou toda a questão política e desigualdades social trabalhada nele, focando assim em um melodrama muito mal feito.
E mesmo como um drama familiar o filme fracassa, sendo a direção e a montagem horríveis, não sendo um filme coerente e emociante.
Resumindo, fora muito gritaria e pouca história. Por fim, gostei da maquiagem. Nota 4.

Disjointed mess of a film. Having read the book, I didn’t understand how it could translate to film, and boy, it’s worse than expected.

6-time Oscar nominated Amy Adams screams for 2 hours joined by 7-time Oscar nominated Glenn Close who mopes for 2 hours in a story, that has nothing to say or add about the people in the story, or circumstances they find themselves in. 

It’s a clunky narrative which ends up becoming a chore to finish, because of the lack of emotional catharsis - the credits reel does a better job with this than the film. The endless loop of the hopelessness the characters keep finding themselves in makes the film so contrived, that it screams Oscar-bait (and will probably get a few noms tbh). Awfully written characters which you end up caring less about compared to when the film starts.
