[@KootFloris]

Fantasy meets reality meets US dystopia meets great actors. I'm sold.

[@NextToToddliness]

Looks so good! I love a little satire with my surrealism. Plus, Tilda.

[@stephmgreen]

I could not be more excited to watch this-seeing Julio’s career flourish over the years has been so gratifying because he has a genuinely unique perspective.

[@camdenbrantley]

Bless Torres for putting Catalina Saavedra and Tilda Swinton in the same film with Isabella Rossellini narrating.

[@myrnajay2785]

Love Tilda!!!

[@matthewcooney9120]

Great comedian - super excited to see how this turns out!

[@johngablesmith4671]

I live for Tilda in a wig.

[@erinmaree1987]

Love Julio Torres and his brilliant, original brain. This looks terrific 👍

[@LucasTbooker]

Any other movies he’s done to recommended?

[@erinmaree1987]

@@LucasTbooker not yet but Los Espookys, SNL writing and his special My Favorite Shapes are a great start

[@selectiveattention7426]

Looks bizarre and funny. I'm in.

[@jellycubes1856]

I'm not sure how this is not getting more recognition. Torres is a genius!

[@mark99k]

It's not officially out yet except in a few cities (wide release March 22). I saw it last week and it is absolutely worth the wait!!

[@CozyGameJunkie]

Tilda can do anything ❤❤❤

[@PassngrsPassngrs]

For some reason I thought this was going to be a tv show when I saw an ad with Julio Torres talking about it 😅 Can’t wait to see the MOVIE lol

[@spreiselbeerleprv]

Every movie with Tilda Swinton is a hit! ♥

[@LegoCookieDoggie]

We recently had to watch New York New York for film class and that film was also a surreal and hate filled journey about two people in a world that values one over the other

[@user-mt5lj8ot3h]

Ive been waiting so long for this. He is BRILLIANT

[@lb5368]

This looks amazing, Julio and Tilda are visionaries, and Isabella narrating sends me 🥰

[@dalyand5944]

Can't wait to see this!

[@ciudadanakane8743]

tilda's kind of movie. love her!

[@MindETMuch]

I can’t wait to see this movie !!! ❤❤❤ Queer art at its finest ! ❤❤❤

[@TheQuintheQuin]

I’ve watched this like 19 times in the last 2 days

[@1989jolguin]

Can’t wait!

[@collapsingquantumwav]

"Oh El Salvador, pupusas, and those nuns they killed in the 80's" His reaction was priceless 🤣

[@user-vj1gf6iw8t]

Can’t wait to see this

[@tonygonzales9147]

Had know idea that was Tilda until I read in the comments. That woman's a chameleon, can't wait to watch this!!

[@marley92282]

Tilda giving that “I’m right on top of that, Rose!” vibe.

[@elevatorface]

This is so much more charming than the earlier trailers that were released. Wonderfully done. Excited to watch it.

[@JM-xq2zo]

This is going to be so good👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@missmindanao9206]

omnggggg this is funn movie of the year

[@Kasbahkabaret]

Tilda is the Bowie of Cinema, Fashion and Androgyny.

[@AlexTooRich_Vlog]

Wow❤

[@phillyarchdad]

Can’t wiait!

[@MabelVP]

[@quintjohnson7462]

[@disgaeajean13]

JULIO AN TILDAAA

[@Freeden]

I'm fully invested. Another winner for A24.

[@mozellevann521]

Oh I’m gonna like this. Yup. Yup.

[@LucasTbooker]

Very promising.

[@PaolaEnergya]

I want to see this! Tilda giving Zandra Rhodes+Patricia Field vibes

[@xarityfan4370]

Watched this trailer like a year ago... it still hasn't released?

[@flavorwise3511]

Julio Torres is so dreamy I'm about to lose my damn mind.

[@sklapow]

Anyone have a link to the version of "New York, New York" that's used in this trailer and includes all the toy sounds?

[@jamiebancroft706]

The style reminds me of director Michel Gondry.

[@wguidoo]

Curioso

[@blushslice]

I needd this film fuck

[@MrSwinefuzz]

I remember the first time I saw Julio Torres, some years ago, this unknown doing something with Conan O'Brien. There was a gravitas in this fey, little, witty man and I knew he was going to be a fuckin' star. Now look at him. Bring me my discovery fee.

[@augopen]

At what insane party did these two meet?😂

[@aniekanakai]

did anyone else see th eprevious traieler for this? I rmbr seeing a trailer for this and it did not mention the fantasy stuff at all

[@Ad_Astra2023]

The boy looks a lot like Justin Long. 😮

[@snakey319]

Tilda in anything is primo, that's the tell when you see her name.

[@jayr3053]

Tilda looks straight out of Ponyo

[@TheSUGA1202]

This feels like its going to have either or both a depressing ending and a magical deus ex machina ending and that the boss is going to chew up and spit down that boy so bad he will quit life to put it nicely. Im terribly terrified of this so i probably wont watch, could someone tell me in this post if im right when the movie comes out?

[@sklapow]

It ends beautifully. Don't be afraid. Just go see it.

[@justaghoulintheworld]

Narration by Isabella Rossellini.

[@VIPkino]

144p?

[@vaegontargaryen9203]

Is that Tilda Swinton pretending to be Eddie from absolutely fabulous?

[@mark99k]

Yes, but times 100.

[@ViralCog]

Devil wears Prada Fantasy style

[@GoofyFootersRule]

i seen you in here rakeem. your not rza.. zig zag zig in this are u? 😔

[@ismaileee]

Switch the gender roles and it turns into a horror drama

[@Sumtinrandom]

It's pretty horrific as it is, don't you think?

[@yucol5661]

Nah. Turns into a common AF character dynamic. You haven’t seen any films about a fashionista or other young women begging a career with a boss or elderly mentor who is a dick?

[@kcbh24]

Hm.

[@maurawhelan3530]

Great cast almost didn’t recognize T. Swinton…

[@MattyArtyCrafty]

lmao sure sure, shes only the thumbnail.

[@xmrgx]

nah

[@Londoner-cd2wv]

That's funny, I thought you could just walk into the US and stay, no problem.

[@yucol5661]

Everyone has their opinions about how immigration works. Only agreed upon fact is that politicians haven’t fixed it. All sides benefit from it not working. Voters don’t know how it works or what has changed, they aren’t migrants or immigration layers or law enforcement. So we can seek them on both “it’s a carsis, there’s too many of them, this is an invation” AND “it’s a crisis, we are breaking our own laws mistreating them and have made most legal paths end with waitlists decades long” The fact this disagreement exists proves lots of people are full of unearned confidence and BS tough. Someone has to be wrong, and they are wrong confidently.

[@ummon995]

Which DEI box hasn't the trailer covered for the Oscars?

[@keithk2879]

I hate the subtext here. Maybe if immigrants put more effort into fighting for their own country they wouldn’t have to “disappear”.

[@anmnou]

OK, ignoramus.

[@enex5647]

It looks immensely dull and unoriginal. But, I'm always open to being wrong.

[@terryflowers7837]

Anywho.... Strong pass

[@rk1356]

I’m sorta over surrealism. And far out gigantic, dreamy, tripped out, acid movies. Can’t we just get a normal film? With normal people. Wearing normal things. And a good, if not great story to tell. That’s linear. And constructed so that a normal person can piece it together and make sense of it. And then feel wow’s at the end.

[@chrisserrific]

Maybe you just aren't looking. It's like when people complain that "they" don't make good music anymore, and when you ask them to expound on that, you realize that what they mean is that a certain genre isn't being played on top-40 stations. Just because you have to seek something out, doesn't mean that it isn't being done anymore. I'm sure you could find twenty "normal" films that came out this year, but no one is talking about them. . . probably because they aren't as "groundbreaking". They've been done before. There's nothing wrong with that, but you can't blame people for not being excited about the same old, "normal" shit.

[@dkkssss]

Snooze fest.

[@MrCSeiberlin]

And a strawman allegory. Legal immigrants don't have to jump through those hoops and illegal ones ignore the laws regardless and certainly aren't 'deported from the Earth by a bureaucracy that makes no attempt to enforce the law except in rare cases. Besides the arrogance that you cease to exist if you are deported 'from the Earth (America)' like they sprang from noplace/nowhere. Hard pass on sermons but at least they let you know in the trailer..

[@taniacarrera7406]

Culture, im I right?

[@d.tesneair5805]

Open borders agenda-driven snooze fest

[@mark99k]

1. Gnight. 2. When sorted by Best, your comment is dead last. FYI.
