A24 somehow alway manages to distribute the weirdest but also most original, entertaining and moving movies i have ever seen

[@OliverHollingdale]

I agree, but for the most part I do not enjoy them! I appreciate the originality by A24 but for example Everywhere everything all at once I thought was loud and obnoxious but credit to the small team behind the movie, great job in originality

[@hi-im-actually-seeunever]

@@OliverHollingdale I enjoy that it is loud and obnoxious because most movies divert from that nowadays. Movies are mostly made to tell a story and by far does A24 own the whole WTF category lmao

[@reesetwist2290]

Movies like these are a breath of fresh air from the loads of crap we have been getting onver the yrs.

[@OliverHollingdale]

@@reesetwist2290 they are all a breath of fresh air and even though I may not like most of them, I am still pleased I saw them and gives me hope for unique voices out there!

[@dimitryanyanwu7681]

​​@@hi-im-actually-seeuneverhat’s OK but most of the time it's just too much or goes too far for me, Everything Everywhere All At One was an OK movie and not as great as people make it to be in my opinion especially that theme of nihilism, it's overused and boring now, I'm more interested in new or least used themes that people don't talks often about.

A24 movies are such a breath of fresh air in a world full of remakes, reboots and cliched plots. Keep it up guys! I dream of the day one of my screenplays get produced by you!

[@pb.j.1753]

There have always been remakes and reboots from studios and indie film for counter programming. Long before A24 existed.

[@elpalomitero]

⁠@@pb.j.1753 Sure! But somehow it feels that those remakes and reboots and sagas are all over the place. Marvel, and DC, and Star Wars and Disney live action remakes, And Fast and Furious 10!!! It’s like we’re entering a loophole. So this kind of movies with unique storytelling and original plots (The Lighthouse, Swiss Army, The Green Knight, a Ghost Story, EEAAO…) feel more necessary now, at least for me!

[@davidcatlett4052]

​@@elpalomitero Me as well. I used to not mind them as much, but even I've burned out on them. Disney remaking a movie from 2017? That's kinda ludicrous.

[@elpalomitero]

@@davidcatlett4052 yeah! I mean I really like Marvel and Star Wars, I’ve been a big fan since I was a child. But it feels overwhelming sometimes, and the quality of their products have decreased dramatically… Every now and then it feels good to be reminded that movies are also a mean of artistic expression to explore different ideas, not just plain entertainment.

[@maxmusic5380]

Well also support original movies from other studios and they would do more of them! Original movies flop often today. Remakes, Sequels make 1 billion dollar.

[@cinefiend4059]

Given Julio’s contributions as a writer on SNL and his HBO series Los Espookys, he’s such a unique and brilliant and hilarious writer and this film is no different. Love how it’s topical and highly entertaining especially with the addition of the iconic Tilda Swinton who by the looks of it is giving one of her best performances ever. Can’t wait.

[@drewmcgill5290]

A24 movies are like graphic novels/video games but with real people. They're so inspiring and have got me motivated to start working on a screenplay. Can't wait to see this in cinemas.

Have you seen Men? I don't know what was weirder: the ending, or the fact that parents took their teenage daughters to it in my state and called it "Sex education" LMAO (I live in Kentucky) Apparently this was a cultural phenomena that happened across the US - parents taking their teenage daughters to this movie.

[@amw2005]

i just don’t understand how a24 simply doesn’t miss

[@oliiverbetts]

They pick movies to distribute and Cannes I think. So they literally can’t (sorta) miss. They actually do have unsuccessful films like Under The Silver Lake for example but people don’t hear of them because they spend no money on advertisement and play at less theaters and will probably not end up on Netflix. They also exclusively produce movies so they don’t really know how they’re gonna turn out sometimes but they’ll always be worth it because they’ve created a brand around making compelling movies so even if the movie isn’t great or not popular it’s rarely if not ever mediocre or uninteresting.

[@lamecasuelas2]

Ugh! Have you seen It comes at night? That's a real stinker

[@andrewcarriero2476]

Watching this trailer feels like the first time I've ever seen myself on film.

A24 is the GOAT at this point.

[@erakfishfishfish]

Definitely interested. Torres’s directing style reminds me of Michel Gondry. The cast looks perfect-Tilda Swinton and Isabella Rossellini are natural fits for his sense of humor. Also happy to see Laith Nakil (he’s great as Uncle Naseem on Ramy)

[@Seetha-Golden]

This looks wonderful!!! I worship on the altar of Tilda Swinton!

[@IamEigee]

I have a theory of why the movie is called Problemista. They're talking about how Alejandro immigrates to pursue his dream, and how that makes 'everything more difficult'. Given he's an artist, and as an immigrant of this kind myself, he probably wasn't completely forced to leave his home, but he wanted to because he had a dream, thus making everything 'more difficult' and being someone that makes an unnecessary problem, a problemist-- or problemista in reference to Spanish. Anyway, can't wait for this movie, it looks fantastic!
