I AM A LIFT OPERATOR. THIS IS SO PLAUSIBLE
Fascinating look inside Formula One.
Beautifully shot and a very interesting story.
https://www.weylandindustries.com/ is a nifty piece of marketing for the film!
I'm amazed that this film could be pulled off without being totally offesnsive. It took major cojones to do this.
A completely unnecessary remake, but damned if I didn't like it just as much as the original.
Hell, it may be a little precious and self-indulgent, but I genuinely enjoyed seeing these two riff off one another.
I enjoyed this immensely, even allowing for a few factual omissions/artistic license. I'm very impressed that Miller was able to pull this off, given the not-easily-adaptable-to-film subject matter.
The scene between Bobby Sands and Father Dominic will be burned in my memory for quite some time. Amazing, minimalist direction.
I can see how someone who has never skied, or knows nothing about the mountains might find this frighteningly plausible. For me, it was a laugh riot. Wolves in New England? Really? Absolutely terrible acting and hackneyed camera work top it all off. Yeesh.
Fascinating subject, but dreadful/distracting editing.
Ew.

This film is wonderful. It's basically Banksy doing *F for Fake* but the story is told in a highly original way. Thierry Guetta is one of my favorite "fictional" characters of the past year.
This is a fantastic movie for kids and I look forward to sharing it with my future grommets.
The mise-en-scene, dialogue and direction, combined with Max Von Sydow's strangely effective narration, make this one of the best portrayals of nightmare logic I've ever seen on film. It's easily one of my favorite Lars Von Trier films.
A tad more coherent than "The Phantom Menace," but no more palatable.
A must-see for all fans of Zizek and those who want a different view of some of their favorite films. I can't recommend this enough. "In order to understand today's world, we need cinema . . . it's only in cinema that we get that crucial dimension which we are not ready to confront in our reality."
Wow. Just an amazing experience. I agree with the assessment of Rosselini's narration, however. Once I switched it over to Maddin's voice, I was entranced.
I just revisited this brilliant film. Just an amazing, entertaining, and yes, cool film. Toshiro Mifune at his best. I rank it above Seven Samurai as Kurosawa's masterpiece.
I submitted Burn! for inclusion into the database a few weeks ago, I'm sure it's on its way, folks.
More disturbing than Antichrist. I am impressed.
See, this is why I don't ski late in the day. Getting in "one last run" usually means putting your life in the hands of a stoned and surly lift operator who can't wait to get off his (or her) shift and head to the bar. No thanks.
Truly fearless film making and acting. I was very impressed by this film on several levels and, despite all I had read about it, was surprised on several occasions.
That's hilarious!
