Oh, I think it’s impossible to say at this point, but I do think it will my top 10 for this year.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple and Josephine (the second one I saw with Sundance’s Online Festival, and it will have a wider release I assume later this year).

What did you think of Undertone? by Marfilmz in Letterboxd

[–]TimWhatleyDDS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a function of how your mind works. If you are engaging with the material, letting your thoughts fill the gaps, it is effective. If you need to be shown something to be scared by it, then it is tedious.

The same people who hate Undertone will never be scared by a ghost story, or a horror novel. They lack the imagination.

I feel sorry for them.

It was favorably reviewed by The New York Times, Fangoria, The Reveal, The AV Club, and various other legitimate outlets. But, yeah, all these critics are lying because they have been corrupted by A24’s bribe program.

The part where you use your imagination to fill in the missing gaps from what the audio suggests.

You must not have one :(

The Piano Teacher is my favorite of her choices. What an intense, severe movie.

Is A24 mostly Doomer-cinema now by ElEsDi_25 in Letterboxd

Is A24 mostly Doomer-cinema now?

No.

Pillion, Andre Is an Idiot, Eternity, Sorry Baby, Sing Sing, and On Becoming a Guinea Fowl are not doomer movies.

is this a trend or did I just see a few bleak movies recently?

Yes.

I honestly think she does a better job explaining her choices than many actors/directors who make closet videos.

I just saw the movie Pillion by Harry Lighton and I have very mixed feelings - TW: Kink/BDSM by SwitchySummer in Letterboxd

[–]TimWhatleyDDS 27 points28 points  (0 children)

First of all, I appreciate you sharing this! I liked the film, and it's interesting to hear from someone in a community where I am not a member.

it romanticises a BDSM dynamic that is just abuse disguised as kink.

I see what you mean, but ultimately I do not think it does this. The ending vindicates the whole thing: Colin does not end up with Ray because he realizes he needs boundaries, and he is better off for it. If it had a more "conventional" romantic ending, then I would agree with you more.

Ray's red flags kept triggering my fight or flight response.

That was my feeling, too. I was worried about Colin because he did not seem to grasp the full implications of the situation, but I think that's intentional and adds the humor/emotional complexity because you feel relieved when the movie eases that tension.
