We Watched Every DENIS VILLENEUVE Movie.

Ewan and Lachlan have just completed an extensive binge-watch of (almost) every film by filmmaker Denis Villeneuve. There are 10 movies in contention, ranging from the sci-fi realms of Dune, Arrival, and Blade Runner 2049 to intense thrillers like Sicario and Prisoners. Villeneuve has demonstrated his mastery across genres, and we are set to determine his best film.

MONSTER is Incredibly Underrated

This time they get to share their in-depth spoiler thoughts on the latest film from Hirokazu Kore-eda Monster.

How about I rip two of my fingernails off and test if I love myself?

Film Fest Gent #7

It's funny that I complained about the lack of vision in the previously watched film, because this one has plenty of it. An amalgamation of a whole lot of clear as daylight inspirations ranging from DnD, Martyrs to Streets on Fire and Medieval films such as The Northman or The Green Knight with the production design of He-man.

Ghent often doesn't do walkouts, but by golly were there quite some at this press screening. Mostly boomers…

Film Fest Gent #6

More like "Temps de détester". Did not like this movie one bit as its focus is everywhere, arcs are being rushed, the story takes place over like 30 years and only the kids somehow age and the sex scenes are so cringe (which is saying a lot since I saw like 4 every day at Venice).

When you rush the romance between your lead, which is central to the story and cut out all build up…

Film Fest Gent #5

Dumb fun and that's meant as a compliment. It's a lesser version of the solid economic/corporate movies we've had over the last decade, but damn did I enjoy Paul Dano being an influencer. An honest contender for best movie influencer of the year alongside George Mackay in 'The Beast'.

The main reason it's a B-tier movie compared to it's predecessors is the lack of energy in the movie. The story of 'Dumb Money' is very much…
