Toronto Film Festival 2022 Review - YMS

[@broncokonco]

I love the idea of Adam clapping by himself in a theater full of bemused and bored “film critics”

[@Rise65487]

Kinda tell you everything you need to know about their care for cinéma. They won't clap at a screening no matter how good the movie is, They'll do pointless standing-ovations for 20 minutes straight at bullshit-ceremonies because they need to fit. Theses peoples don't give a shit about cinéma or anything related to it unless it fills their pockets and reputations.

[@MIRobin22]

Weird too, because it was absolutely an incredible viewing experience. Got applause at the screening I went to.

[@videogamenostalgia]

@@Rise65487 clapping at a cinema is insane behaviour unless there are actually people involved in making the movie in the auditorium with you. Hardly anyone outside of America and Canada does it.

I'm genuinely happy to hear Adam give praise to Brendan Fraser's performance.

[@Herrikias]

Can't wait for Adum to be labeled a traitor because Fraser's role could have gone to a genuine fat gay actor. Until Brendan post sex tapes of himself in a gay orgy, we need to boycott everything he's in . . . except Doom Patrol because I actually watch that show.

[@tastysandwhich]

Yeah I immediately skipped to this part because I wanted to hear how he felt about it.

[@LilaRox1000]

I was really hoping he liked it, now I'm even more excited to see it myself

[@rsfilmdiscussionchannel4168]

What I’m mostly happy about is that he didn’t resort to just saying it was good because Brendan was good. I’m getting the sense that many reviewers who like this movie will ignore Aronofsky and Sam Hunter’s contributions and will just say “Brendan was great/carried by him/wouldn’t work at all without him” Which does a disservice to the other people who worked on the film.

[@Advent3546]

@@rsfilmdiscussionchannel4168 I have been seeing people say something like that. I think that's mostly people who didn't like the movie but loved his performance, which happens.

[@aliciabell6688]

I could relate.

[@WeirdExplorer]

I'm a huge Bowie fan and I left the theater thinking basically the same thing about Moonage Daydream. Bowie's music from the 90s and early 2000s is criminally underrated and often ignored, I was so excited when this movie acknowledged that the 90s was when he stopped being commercial and went back to creating music as art. But then they only played ONE song from 1995, skipped over literally 20 years of incredible music, brought up 2016's Blackstar and then... dead. I started off loving the movie and I left feeling a little insulted.

[@titlewave489]

if we're being real Bowie could have a movie made about him for every one of his albums..

[@d.j.manjares9830]

Brendan Fraser is a national treasure. His role in the show DOOM PATROL is also great.

[@MeEncantaMoss]

agreed. i like the part where robot man says FUCK (unironically)

[@dudestep]

I didnt like it at all but I watched 4 episodes because Fraser is so charming, even if it's just his voice a lot of the time. Alan Tudyk is funny too.

[@ilovecody7514]

@@dudestep The first season starts off rocky (Didn't see myself sticking with it either at the time), but sticking with it has a lot of payoff character growth wise. It's cheesy but it's self-aware about that cheese. The character and their dynamics and chemistry really comes together and becomes something special as far as super hero shows go. It was eccentric, goofy, and full of heart.

[@TheLowest]

By far his best role was in furry vengeance

[@Shinkajo]

I like him and the show, but I think a lot of the dialogue in Doom Patrol is try-hard, tiresome and wannabe edgy. Like swearing loses it's impact if it's used CONSTANTLY and as a replacement for good dialogue.

[@kip_c]

8:40 I am dying of laughter at the fact that adam felt the need to use a very old photo of Brendan Fraser even though he is LITERALLY THE POSTER OF THE MOVIE

Imagine if the movie was also directed by Brendan Fraser, and a third, different picture of Brendan Fraser popped up.

I have so much respect for the way Adam uses the 1-10 scale in his reviews; when he starts out talking about a movie by saying "I loved it", I know right away "ok, it's at least an 8".

[@ryanfeller5765]

I know it’s a meme but I do appreciate his 6/10 cause he does use that as a “it was good but not exception in any way” which then makes giving 7s 8s and 9s way more meaningful

[@hunsler1006]

Glad to hear that Banshee is going down well. Honestly love all McDonagh's work and he's definitely able to create these personal scripts that don't require a lot of events or action

[@MIRobin22]

Godland was one of the two films I got to see at TIFF. Gripping story, and absolutely incredible on the imax screen at Scotiabank Theatre. It's a shame it's not the kind of film many people will get to see on a huge screen.

For Fablemans, they did use those actual cameras, you forget that film is SUPER high quality, and if the film was projected after it was shot it would have minimal scratches and damage. Seth Rogan gifts him a bolex, that’s the same camera I learned to shoot 16mm on in college only 4 yrs ago, they’re still amazing cameras If you read the credits it says “shot on 35mm/16mm/Super 8” if it looks fake it’s a post-production issue

Bummer to hear about The Son. If it's worth considering, the source material was originally a French play (Le Fils), which many French critics heralded as a masterpiece . Despite having the same director, I wonder if much was lost in translation, in either language and/or culture.

[@rapidreaders7741]

It could be due to the play being difficult to adapt as well.

Never nerf your material for children. They're tougher than adults; they can handle stuff. In fact, they need to be challenged.

My showing of Godland got a standing ovation so don't worry about people not being into it, I think your crowd was just weird.

[@darken2185]

As someone who's absolutely obsessed with Bowie, i agreed with most of your criticisms. It seems to me that the director wanted the movie to be something of a personal reflection of his view of Bowie, so it kinda feels like someone showing you what they like and ignoring/glossing over the other less well known stuff. Some of my favourite albums of him are from the 90s/2K periods, which made me kinda disappointed when I didn't see that. My favourite album was barely mentioned and Blackstar was kind of a through line during the movie, but needed more coverage for sure. I think also that it would be pretty hard to give enough time to his almost 50 years of career without making a VERY long movie. I think Morgen had to choose what to show and his bias shows, but that makes it more personal and kinda more unique in my opinion. Also the part where he talks about Iman almost made me break down it was so beautiful pls

[@shrill_2165]

Glad you liked Godland. Not to be annoying, but because you seem like someone who makes an active effort to pronounce names as they’d be pronounced by the person themselves, the “HL” in Icelandic is pronounced closer to a “KL” than what you here. Not that it matters much either, but the “á” is also pronounced as “ow!”

The thing Adum doesn’t realize about Spielberg and THE FABLEMENS is that Spielberg is a hokey old-school sentimental guy. I loved THE FABLEMENS because I believed every moment of it. Not in it’s realize but in its emotion. And if you ask Steven he’d giggle and just talk about how much he loved the energy of that movie. Idk. I get what Adum is saying, but the movie isn’t going for realism of action but of emotion. And the scene he cites about the “needs to be real” is way overblown. And makes sense in context especially when considering what the types of movies Sam Fablemans is aping from.

modern Spielberg*

[@zaldigr863]

It really isn't about being "unusually harsh" the movie is legit a generic cookie cutter self inflating boring experience and he's just being honest instead of hyping it up just bec spielberg made it like other critics. Everything you can think of in a coming-of-age movie is present in the movie as well even though the movie tries to convince you that it's infact personal and unique lmao.
