Re: Reel Society of Film Critics Awards 2020
Time for one more Best Picture nominee. Have not had the opportunity to write it up myself, so wonderfully stolen for a reputable news source!
Waves
After disturbing us all with survivalist thriller It Comes at Night in 2017, Texan film-maker Trey Edward Shults – still just 31 – steps up his already impressive game with this vehemently acted and formally audacious drama about an African American family in Miami. It is a parable of redemption, and about a kind of spiritual or metaphysical resonance between the unhappy lives of two siblings.
There are big scenes, big performances, big emotions here, and audiences will have to recalibrate their antennae for these, especially for the stunning shock that arrives around halfway through. The waves of emotion can get very high, yet they bring exaltation with them.

Ugh Joaquin Phoenix...
Moving on, surprised to see Lupita and Taylor Russell win two times over.

Rather Joaquin Phoenix win than say, Gary Oldman or Casey Affleck.

Not taking about character of the actor, just the performance. Found his performance in Joker (as well as every frame of the film) to be fucking insufferable.

Whoever commissioned that Parasite poster deserves a raise

Hahaha, that's not the French poster for Parasite, that's a parody poster made by the French distrib to mock French comedy posters, it only circulated on Twitter for fun.
