| I wouldn't call myself a die-hard. But I like him, and think he's made better films than this one (which is still fine). |
| |
| |
| For , my review of Cannes' lone African entry, Mahamat-Saleh Haroun's GRIGRIS. Great locale, iffy characters. |
| |
 | |
| Which isn't to say it's bad. |
| |
| |
| Only God Forgives is one of the tiniest films I've ever seen. Script must've been 10 pages long. Or just a drawing of Gosling in a t-shirt. |
| |
| |
| Well, that was kind of the point of the tweet! |
| |
| |
| And then I'd feel empty and sad and a little turned-on, a bit like how I feel after watching ONLY GOD FORGIVES. A cycle is forming. |
| |
| |
| Then DRIVE would be all like, "What the fuck, dude, we had one fun night two years ago. You can sleep with AS I LAY DYING for all I care." |
| |
| |
| I would definitely have sex with ONLY GOD FORGIVES, though I'd feel bad about it in the morning and call DRIVE to weepily confess. |
| |
| |
| ONLY GOD FORGIVES (C+) Sort of transfixing as lacquered blood ballet; as storytelling, it never shows up. Crushing on KST et Cliff Martinez. |
| |
| |
| I do love the camp, and I do love the Kristin. She could hardly fail, I admit. |
| |
| |
| If Kristin Scott Thomas isn't winning at least 78 trophies between now and next March, I want no part in the upcoming awards season. |
| |
| |
| O/H: "I used to fancy the fuck out of Ryan Gosling, but then everyone else did too, and now he's kind of like The Black Keys." |
| |
| |
| I'd like it to win zilch, but Best Director would be apt for a film with such ostentatious direction. |
| |
| |
| I agreed before seeing it, but unconvinced now: nothing to do with quality, but film isn't the heartwarmer I expected. |
| |
| |
| Ah, the one day at Cannes where I get to wake up to Ryan Gosling. |
| |
| |
| Incoherent? Perhaps you just nodded off. |
| |
| |
| I predict that "select interviews" will become the new "exclusive interviews." "SELECT: Bleona talks working with ." |
| |
 | |
| Does anyone know if Cheryl Cole managed to catch DANZA DE LA REALIDAD this year? What about STRANGER BY THE LAKE? |
| |
| |
| I'm tempted to request a "select interview" with Bleona, and hear all about her really amazing journey. |
