too abstract to sit through but too realistic to look away from?

The Tree of Life

i feel like, by saying this, i become a lesser member of the cinephile community But i believe that for me this might be the greatest film ever, it is speaking a new language like the lumiere brothers once did, or welles did, or godard did... and i just cannot get over the way this makes me feel and the inner journey it sends me on. i feel nothing fake in this film, no pretension, no false emotions. just love

Some translated lyrics from the closing song: "Please come down, don't just keep staying in the heaven above, for I dare not take a look..." Uncle Boonmee portrays relationships between the living and the dead, the past and the present. Spirits surround themselves with the living because "heaven is over-rated." This film is not heaven, it is mystical Thai forest purgatory. And I liked it.

Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives

I can't think of a better way to spend 93 minutes. This film at times can be so beastly that it becomes beautiful and vice versa...

Titanic

The nostalgia attached to this movie for me would be enough to sink a ship. Also, nothing in this world would've been able to make my four-year-old self fall out of love with Kate Winslet. I know it's hip to hate this, but I can't help but see nothing wrong in the film that gave birth to me as a cinephile.

Gummo

I think the genius in Gummo is that there aren't different tragic or comedic scenes, but EVERY SINGLE MOMENT in the film is tragic and comedic at the same time. Instead of being forced to run back and forth forever between grief and high delight, the film engrosses you in an unsettling, poetic, nightmare dreamworld. It's a love story about the absence of love, it's a film about the void when love is gone.

Heartbeats

It didn't touch me personally on the same level of I Killed My Mother, but that doesn't mean it wasn't still a perfect film. This film was more comedic and colourful than dramatic and gloomy. Like Allen meets Almodovar meets Truffaut, but still very original. Gorgeous cinematography, brilliant music choices from classical to electronic, great chapter-like structure: a superb film overall. Dolan is going places.

And consider this: This is based on the autobiography of a woman who was part of an anti-Israeli terrorist group, and who was tortured by Jews as a teen. This woman came together with A Jewish Man, Julian Schnabel, to create her film, and not too long after her teenage years. If that isn't a powerful statement of peace then I don't know what is.

I really do not understand all the hate and negativity this film is garnering. I saw it at TIFF and was actually Blown Away. Fuck tha haters. The way the camera is used is completely unique and effective. Freida Pinto's performance was captivating. I personally loved its structure and story. Great use of music, from Ennio Morricone to Tom Waits. Equal parts Political/Coming of age film. Very powerful.

Herzog. The best 3D I have ever seen. Transports you into the lovely, mysterious Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc caves of Southern France. A mediation on the past and the future. Mutant radioactive Albino crocodiles. Some people fell asleep in the audience even though it was the World Premiere with Werner and everybody there. Hilarious. Bizarre. Beautiful.

Never Let Me Go

I haven't read the novel, but I can't imagine it would disappoint any fans. Never Let Me Go had brilliant acting from the 3 leads, a genuinely moving score, and beautiful cinematography worthy of Malick. The main reason why I "really liked" and not "loved" the film had to do with plot. The characters did next to nothing to try to get out of their position, and there was so much more that could've happened.Still,good!

Saw this at TIFF. The crowd laughed their heads off and everybody loved it. The film's central character Oliver and his life was CREEPILY similar to my own though. When the actor Craig Roberts came out on stage after the screening, he was even wearing the exact same clothes as me. It was a great film!

Amazing.

Requiem for a Dream

I really enjoyed it and can say it was powerful... but I'm not sure how powerful because that same night, unrelated to just having watched the film, I tried drugs for the first time.

Inland Empire

"When people say Inland Empire is Lynch's Sunset Boulevard, Lynch's Persona, or Lynch's 8½, they're quite right, but it also explicitly invokes connections to Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, Jean-Luc Godard's Pierrot le Fou, Buñuel and Dali's Un Chien Andalou, Maya Deren's LA-experimental Meshes of the Afternoon, and others." -Jim Emerson
