Gotta disagree with your statement on what this movie is about. It’s not focused on what’s good on paper, it’s about the hypocrisy of those who commit a crime and condemn others for exactly what THEY did themselves. Unfortunately for the condemned, they have the misfortune of not getting away with it. In modern politics we see it every day, Trump calls Crypto a scam (only to release his own memecoin and make billions overnight) and Nancy Pelosi using her old position to condemn political manipulation for profit while her insider trading knowledge made her millions herself. Does anybody honestly think either of these two would willingly throw themselves to the mercy of the court?

It played in Cincinnati. I liked it. Not sure why WB buried it, the movie was good. Was it better than the Oscar winners, no, but it was a good movie. Edit: I never watched it in Theaters, only on Max after.

They punish Clint Eastwood cause he isn’t woke

That would be so cute of him and Cynthia won this year at the Oscar’s

Alright! You convinced me. I was putting it off because of how brutal this film sounded... but this review convinced me it's worth the watch. Thank you!

You and your channel have a quality that I almost never see any more on the Internet; a rare, honest to God unironic sincerity. Great content so far, thanks for the work you put into these vids. Keep up the good work:)

LET ME KNOW! What did you think of The Brutalist?

The straightforward storytelling and slow pacing worked for me. Felt Justin’s guilt like it was my own

The ending really left me wanting closure like what happened ❤

The acting of everyone is great, The problem is in both cases, whether or not each guy killed the girl is completely circumstantial. Neither of these cases are strong enough to go to trial. Whether it's the Boyfriend or The Juror. There should have been more time spent on creating a really dynamic case,

This movie sucked.

Juror #2 was far better than Nosferatu. Nicholas Hoult is in both yet people are only talking about one.

Excellent review…I especially like the “dad” reference hehe …well crafted movie

I really wanted to more of the Vampire himself , I mean the physical presence in and around people , in the city , with his rats , his wolves , just a more physical ! I thought the actor completely immersed himself but I wanted to see more of him! Again as I have mentioned in other comments I’ve made I think there was a bit too much given to Depp ! Thank God Hoult and Defoe and the other characters held up , PS big nod to the Gypsy’s ! Wow ! That whole cast of characters were amazing ! More info on the Gypsy’s ! They are all great !

They should have called it, "The Rural Juror."

Totally agree about the movie. Cinematic ART!

Overall I enjoyed the watch, but would only rate it a 6.9 out of ten. Acting from everyone, except for Bateman, was flat. I was about to turn it off after ten min, as I thought I was in for another bad Netflix movie, but Dean Norris appearing on screen made me change my mind. As noted by you, had to suspend belief a couple of times, and the highway scene was terribly shot. But overall it was a suspenseful enough watch and everything but the highways scene was shot exceptionally well. Enjoyed seeing Bateman in such a menacing role. I love an inside baseball take on things. Seeing the inner workings of TSA and airports was fascinating.

Good job that’s fun/cool

On the mark. We are all, in the end, simply humans and fallible but, very importantly, capable of supporting the greater good.

This is an experience I will never forget LILY -ROSE DEPP deserves every award I can’t stop thinking about this film 10/10 for me this score the tension the cinematography the lighting the shots the costumes designs amazing and true horror monster I want too see this multiple times I can’t stop thinking about this film and the folklore behind it was great

Solid flick.

Is it a vampire movie or a zombie movie? Vampires regain their youthful appearance and vitality after they drink blood. Zombies can drink blood all day and it won’t change shit. Orlak is a putrid rotting corpse and his appearance doesn’t change despite drinking blood. So wouldn’t that make him a zombie with powers of possession? Just asking.

Go Braves!

Seen it one time, I very much liked the sound design, suspense and cinematography and I think the first half of the movie. But had the feeling the second act just kept going on and on to the point where I got bored, like the same thing kept happening over and over again without much changing or giving out more information and I felt like screaming: JEEZ CUT IT DOWN! I KNOW HE LIKES TO DRINK BLOOD. But I'm a big nosferatu/vampire simp because I always thought it was a close to perfect metaphor for opiate addiction which i've had my experiences with, so maybe I got too used to how they usually do the story beats in a dracula movie. I think it is still not a better movie than that one about the making of the old nosferatu with Willem Dafoe with John Malkovich. SPOILERS!: I do like that he touched on patriarchy and the sexual repression and disease in the modern world. Don't really agree with the good vs evil. He was called by her because she couldn't find happiness in the way her life, the world around her and her social relations were organized. It was quite literally the inner beast unleashed. So I felt it was much more about repression and conformity. In the end she had to sacrifice herself for the good of the functioning of society. Which in my view was to say that the world we've build around us is killing our connection to our nature and with that our uniqueness. Also don't think it was very pro science, they took a few jabs at 19th century science and science wasn't able to fix the issue so they had to go back to the occult, the unknown and untamed. So all in all I guess it was maybe a critique of how we treat young women in western society. That's kind of where it left me till now. But I'll watch it again at home and maybe change my mind.

What was your favorite film of 2024?

Thanks for your thorough review! I really enjoyed the movie overall ❤ I really do not like his moustache though. I know it's accurate for the period, but picturing this Count Orlok sitting in front of the mirror shaving, brushing out his moustache, trimming it when it gets too long.... That just seems really out of character to me. And it's so strikingly dark, no grey, does that mean he dyes it too? I loved everything about him besides that stash.

Necrophilia!! Seems to be the fashion at the moment

congrats on 2k!

Congrats on 2K

I’ve seen a lot of people criticize this movie using terms like story arch, character development, and social commentary. They think that if a movie doesn’t take the typical form of those then it is wrong. This is a movie that feels real and brings you into the past, a world that feels like it existed before, but is completely new to the viewer. The movie is scary mostly because the topics it covers reflect the real evil of the world. Nosferatus selfishness and lust combined with Thomas’ inability to take a stand leads to a horrible dilemma for everyone. The plague aspect is not literally about the effect of plague on society, but it is more of a metaphor for the evil that Nosferatu embodies, and how it only leads to death and decay. You can say the movie is about sin, evil, lust, romance, science, societal norms, so many different topics. Yet a lot of part time internet critics and educated movie goers think that the movie is bad and disappointing. As long as great art has existed there have always been people who don’t understand it because it doesn’t fit a norm or easily recognizable pattern.

A boring experience

I love the movie and the idea of a movie where the vampire is related to the occult and demonology. This movie effectively delivered on this type of story. Nosferatu is a monster (in fact considered to be the undead plague carrier) and is primal in his motivation. He is death. He is a manifestation of ba'al the demon. His connection to Ellen and his motivation to seek her out is simply because of her psychic / paranormal abilities and this is what drew him to her. Finally, we have a vampire movie that doesn't follow the same old tropes. Vampires should not be sexy and monster movies should not be confused with romance.

I have worked in film for over 35 years designing creatures, and must have seen thousands of films, and truly enjoyed this. "The VVitch" was the best film that I had seen in 20 years, and here is another to add, by Eggers. Instead of the iconic , stiff as a board sitting up like in the original, when he got up after grabbing the pick axe, I was truly frightened . He looked huge and terrifying . Very Impressive! The work that my colleague David White did with that design was masterful restraint. Instead of making him Part animal (Rat, Bat, Wolf), he was a Man who was undead and needed blood to continue existing . The teeth were razor sharp, yet not standard "Vampire Fangs" ,they were Human teeth, evolved to razor sharpness and a shape made for tearing flesh. The pointed ears were the result of rats chewing them and not a mythological "Pointed ear". It felt like a creature that could exist, which made it really horrifying . The children's screams left no question in your mind, and even though they showed necessary restraint, you KNEW they were being eaten.

Loved the visual take on the story. The monster and the pace for me were letdowns. 75/100.

Calm down. The movie was in fact beautifully shot. However, the vampire is absolutely corny. The combover and handlebar mustache were almost laughable. 7/10. Not even scary.

I had a few drinks before the movie and man I wasn’t necessarily on my feet but was just an awe of the cinematography, and the scares were there, I think I’ve been spoiled by the jump scare tactic by your everyday scary movie that’s released nowadays but they were done so brilliantly. I was more so anxious than scared tbh Bill Skarsgard was so unrecognizable I was just shocked that that was actually him and I can’t imagine how his voice felt after filming but my god what a film!

This was movie was an experience. Nickolaus Hoult stole the show for me. His meeting with Count Olak was horrifying and captured the terror PERFECTLY.

Yeah clearly this is one from the heart from Eggers, magistral!!! Unfortunately it didn't scare me though, no goosebumps and I didn't get emotionally involved, maybe because we all know the story so well

This was a very good but weird movie I was really questioning everything in a good way definitely agree

reno 911 actor was so so so bad as the other juror. like a key and peele sketch where hes overacting in a sketch where his character is up for an oscar

Was this filmed in an actual airport? Or on a set? Didn't see this in the credits. Found it fascinating to see hundreds of conveyer belts carrying checked luggage and sending bags down chutes to reach different boarding gates. A very elaborate transport system never thought much about it before.

E.T. the Extra Terrestrial and Silence of the Lambs are my two favorite movies of all time. Nosferatu is my third.

The only problem I have with the writing is that the prosecution didn't really have a case. It was all speculation, but yeah Juries probably behave like in the movie.

An outstanding film that treats its audience with immense respect. This is a writer/director/actor combination that understands the greatest horrors are the ones the audience imagines from the least information. Most people want to be told how to feel, so it probably won't find the widest audience.

Way, WAY TOO MUCH assigning grades. GET TO THE MOVIE!!

can i understand the general take i genuinely feel like i just watched a 2 hour rape film im upset i watched the movie

The pacing was too slow and I got bored

Please help me: he swapped the suitecases and at the same time didnt? Or did He Put the bomb in another suitcase. I dint get it. Like the movie but this triggers me.
