[@bananadog152]

​@@deathbychocolateandpoison safe from the fires

[@margztgz]

so glad to hear you're safe! hang in there & sending love to u & the whole city. these recs were so good i need to see no other land

[@LenLen-c1x]

Most fun and most under appreciated movie of the year: Kneecap.

[@PauLtus_B]

It's not getting a lot of buzz but anyone who's watched it seems to really love it.

[@shonna_77]

I watched "Between the Temples" because of your list and loved it! I loved the subjective camerawork -- like showing the protagonist's state of mind through the editing and cinematography. Very moving.

[@alifpr]

I’m glad I watched Ghostlight on a big screen at a festival, the whole audience was fully invested in the story and by the end almost everyone was in a very emotional state. Such a moving family drama! ❤

[@WaterMeLoan64]

Hey man, I’ve been watching your videos for nearly half a decade. So happy to hear that you are doing alright.

[@AlejandroGarcia-bj9vq]

Im sorry for all that you dealing I’m from the north bay and we had to deal with something like that too years ago , thank you for posting always look forward to your videos and recommendations

[@ViaEarly]

i watched between the temples because of your video. while i didn’t adore it as much as you did, i still respect it a lot and really enjoyed the cinematography and jason so so so much!! thank you for introducing it to me, it was a very sweet film.

[@MicoDossun]

For me most underseen movies of year for me in no order are Between the Temples, The Feeling That The Time For Doing Something Has Passed, This Closeness, Bird, We Grown Now, Janet Planet, and The Becomers. I also think for a studio comedy with a star as big as Ilana Glazer, Babes was super underappreciated. Not as underrated but as someone who has been waiting for Tina Mabry to make another movie I also loved that nostalgic 90s DVD feel from Supremes at Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat

[@Dingalsodong]

Hope everything gets well soon. I know you moved to LA recently, so this must be horrific. Sending prayers

[@alifpr]

I hope everything will be okay man, thanks for putting up this video too! ❤

[@arriddle823]

Welcome to LA. We evacuated last night too.

[@MusicMan75636]

RAP WORLD MENTIONED!!!!! Connor OMalley needs to be constantly employed

[@Jerryx29]

The Girl with the Needle, Black Dog and La Cocina need more attention

[@kevinbalke367]

Great video Karsten! My grandma appreciates you for stopping by to make that chicken noodle soup. Thanks, Karsten!

[@Lavendercoochie123]

Stay safe boi Sending love and light as always 💕💕💕💕

[@darkgate33]

''Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World'' is probably my favorite documentary from last year and I literally haven't seen any KZbin channel talk about it. another underrated and over hated in my opinion is Horizon An American Saga part 1, ''Kneecap'' as well and lastly Avicii documentary ''I'm Tim''

[@coldramenpokefreak]

I enjoyed Boys Go To Jupiter!!! Hopefully it gets some distribution soon as the theater was electric in my festival screening. Plus, another underrated film that should get some love is Riddle of Fire, banger coming-of-age film.

[@ambertheanxious]

You were smart to head out from the smoke, I’m in the middle of the valley and it’s all I can smell right now. Hopefully it’s over relatively soon

[@sid5479]

Burial did the soundtrack for Bird!!

[@JeffCrowSmith]

Loved Rap World & Ren Faire! They were in my Best of 2024 video too. Also, I highly recommend you check out Red Rooms (dir. Pascal Plante), it's wild!

[@abhiishhekk]

all we imagine as light , is making a fuss at award circles but still kinda feels underrated.

[@Advent3546]

Need to shout out two of my biggest surprises of last year; The Last Stop in Yuma County and Oddity. Also glad you're safe Karsty

[@THELIVINGSEB]

5:28 one of the first KZbinrs I’ve seen mention “My First Film” it’s so great! real underrated

[@thewhatness]

Saw My First Film on MUBI, and I was pretty taken with its commitment to the metanarrative, even if it gets sloppy, a bit overambitious, and blurs the lines too much for its own good (re: the last 15 minutes). Then again, who _wouldn't_ want their first film to be remembered with fondness and reverence? I'll have to see where Zia Anger goes from here.

[@robinmaricic]

love your videos, could you add sections to your videos so we can see which movies are in the video

[@Super8Corey]

Ghostlight is the one for real

[@juliagriffin1907]

I’m sheltering with family to get out of the air as well. Think Hundreds of Beavers will take off soon as Letterboxd just announced it as the highest rated comedy of 2024.

[@4t821]

it’s devastating seeing what’s going on in LA. my heart goes out to all of you

[@michaelzendejas4586]

Black Dog, Happyend, Fancy Dance, Mountains, Pepe, How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies, the old oak, femme all deserve way more attention. Totally nonexistent on anyone else’s list and all are masterpieces

[@thefilmseeker]

Way more people are talking about and praising that Kore-eda knockoff How to Make Millions than should be. Black Dog is a solid mention, tho.

[@katashworth41]

The Old Oak had everyone in my screening sit through all the credits, it’s not I, Daniel Blake though.

[@AwsomeALEC72]

This whole time I thought you lived in Chicago. You just give big Chicago vibes.

[@BirkneshHerreid]

So glad you're safe, Karsten!

[@amiranda4360]

Would like to shout out: -The Peoples Joker -Strange Darking -Stopmotion -Look Back -Sometimes I Think About Dying - Exhibiting Forgiveness -Oddity -Sasquatch Sunset

[@emilymanzano458]

me and gfie clicked on this video so fast because you posted you evacuated! glad you’re safe and away from the air quality!!!

[@thejman3489]

Arthur The King was one I felt didn't get enough attention. Adventure Racing is the most insane competition I've ever heard of.

[@dandockendorf1955]

I'm glad you are safe and hope everything is ok with you and your local friends when this disaster passes.

[@unit1pirate380]

glad ure safe film boy ❤️

[@mister_ennui]

I loved Universal Language - saw it at a film fest and it made my top 4 of the year - I think it actually reminded me more of Andersson (Roy) than Anderson (Wes) - especially with representing Quebec as a Soviet nation - the crying scene was pure Living Trilogy

[@mattem26]

Birdeater and Memoir of a Snail are some of the best and most under seen films of the year!!

[@ricklob1222]

His Three Daughters is incredible and doesnt get the attention it deserves (and Ghostlight too)

[@aarond9563]

So sad to have missed Ghostlight. Also really loved "Between the Temples". "No Other Land" has yet to be released unfortunately. My list: 1. Exhibiting Forgiveness. No one has seen this and it makes me sad. 2. The End - same 3. Small Things Like These 4. The Taste of Things 5. Origin

[@YeahRightBud]

Ghostlight was a top 3 movie this year!!!!!

[@trey1792]

Despite the blurring I already know Hundreds of Beavers and Rap World are on here

[@1haunt]

Was trying to see Dahomey in theatres and it was playing only on Mondays and Tuesdays at midday or something ridiculous, live in the biggest city in my country. Been less than a month since it premiered and there's no more showings currently. 😪😪

[@johannesahrens7963]

It's a crime that "there's still tomorrow" is not in this list! Lowkey one of the best in 2024.

[@Kolya-chu]

Came to see La Chimera but I think these are definitely more underrated!

[@jennafay8256]

Bird and Oh Canada have been on my watchlist FOREVER but I don’t think it was ever released in theaters or on digital at least in the US

[@PeachandPoppy]

Bird is now streaming on Mubi!

[@albertglowacki9316]

Saturday Night! Hugely underrated

[@Stinkysauce3102]

Ghost light is such a great film

[@gohtcheez]

BETWEEN THE TEMPLES MY GOAT

[@Arawn505]

No Other Land also just got a shout-out by Brady Corbet. The Brutalist won Best Film at the New York Film Critics Circle and Corbet ended his speech with "And the last thing I want to say is that it's time to distribute No Other Land"

[@hydqjuliilq27]

But wait, how can he like No Other Land if his movie is “Zionist propaganda” as various Letterboxd comments put it? /s

[@hauntedgarden1]

Nuh-Uhhhhhhh 👹 In all seriousness, I’ve been getting a load of friends in La texting me about the fires, I’m glad you got out of there, air quality alone! 🙂‍↕️

[@nirajmahale5765]

7:54 BRO WHERE TO WATCH THIS?

[@09Emilio]

Glad you’re safe but we need a conclave video movie boy…

[@ohhaimark]

Release your list on letterboxd Karsten!

[@tristanmayer5373]

My man moves to LA and it immediately burns. Stay safe! Hope this mess can end soon.

[@zachmanbegins]

Glad you’re safe!

[@testosterbone]

He just hanging this out 🔥

[@ScottLewisMusic]

Personally I think India Donaldson's "Good One" is the most underrated movie of the year. Great film!

[@davymugire8581]

Hope your home and loved ones in LA are fine

[@dropboxmoabit384]

First. Keep it up Kuarsten!!

[@dropboxmoabit384]

Kaursten?

[@dropboxmoabit384]

Koersten.

[@dropboxmoabit384]

Kiorsten.

[@dropboxmoabit384]

Kearsten.

[@domclegg1225]

Oh, Canada!'s reception has been hindered by its terrible distribution. if it had been pushed properly in the way that his last three have been -- i mean, LOOK at the cast for this one! elordi alone would put butts in seats. i fully believe the movie could have made money with the right distributor -- i think it would have been receieved more warmly. i'm in australia and there is literally zero indication as to when it will play here and its killing me. glad to hear your praise for it tho!

[@imperfectanimal57]

No where's memoir of a snail!? It was my second favorite movie this year!

[@zakuraiyadesu]

Glad you are okay!

[@sifatshams1113]

Unbreakable (2000). Just do it. It is time.

[@timbershakes1469]

You should watch Yana Wara

[@bijikedelai]

I remembered that i feeling proud that i log Hundreds of Beavers earlier than you on letterboxd lol 😂

[@trevorgumm1917]

How would I know what to make my personality w/o you? Stay safe man.

[@Skylotgh]

Vaazhai and Meiyazhagan are the most underrated films of 2024

[@spencerboyce6227]

I saw the hundreds of beavers poster in the thumbnail and thought it was the poster for Saturday night and got excited but you didn’t end up talking about it sad

[@idklol117]

For me it would be Young Woman and the Sea The Piano Lesson Small Things Like These

[@travisspazz1624]

Is Hundreds of Beavers underrated? Seems like anyone who watches it has a blast! My pick is Azrael. Short and intense.

[@chateaulobby]

stay safe everyone in california

[@JD-cl9nw]

Hopefully you can back to your place soon take care man

[@elijahelm]

Safer on the floor my friend

[@denji_ai]

You still haven't seen All we imagine as light!!!

[@brrcs]

yes, I thought My First Film was really unique and affecting!

[@elaiavidor5]

Still so sad to see that a movie like No Other Land can be so praised. It tip toes around any truly difficult conversations and only exists to attract sympathy for the Palestinians.

[@bmck1124]

Most underrated horror movie of the year is MadS. It's really unique take on the zombie genre, you're watching someone go through the zombification process all done in one continuous shot that literally follows them all over the town it's shot in. The director swears the movie was truly one singular 90 min take. It's a really impressive feat. There's also a couple really great performances in there as well.

[@theemeraldaxe1414]

Bro hasn't seen Good One 😭

[@georgeswagg413]

Saw OH Canada and i think the themes of the film are too specific for my taste compared to films like first reformed and the card counter. Doesn't help that the reason why the main character leaves the US isn't clear until the end, so you just think he's a shitty guy and don't want to follow him that much. I liked the setup and some scenes where Richard Gere relives his own memories as his old self but even if it was intentional the plot just become ramblings and ramblings so it's a bit boring in the end

[@justn420]

Legalize weeds

[@katashworth41]

Layla. Saw it at a free preview, though I may just be biased and excited to see some non binary representation on screen.

[@purekinema]

If you're saying "everyone loves" No Other Land, you definitely live in a bubble 😂

[@jadeneaston]

Kursten’s channel > Karsten’s

[@chicken0w044]

do a top 10 natural disaster movies

[@mouldyseagull887]

Unfortunately a Palestinian documentary not getting distribution in the US is not that surprising

[@atari6357]

i've been so interested in checking out No Other Land since you mentioned it months ago, but I have not been able to find it anywhere. I really want to watch it and its sooo annoying i can't

[@watertower1]

Hi

[@NaomiHoefs]

No other land seems to be getting some distribution! Im in a small town in the Netherlands and its in the local theater (probably only a couple of screenings, but still). Planning to see it next week.

[@06dking]

Saturday Night is a terrible film. Definitely one of the worst Ive seen in 2024

[@nirajmahale5765]

No other land is gonna release in February

[@cm5575]

No Other Land was very good
