I think I get what this is trying to say but I don't like the way it says it. I also did not like the need to anthropomorphize mushrooms with the narrator as this felt like it was trying to do.
Kinda upset about this. Zoe Saldaña and Karla Sofía Gascón were great but everything else was not. Hire trans and Latino writers if you want to tell their story.
Apparently I've watched this before. I have no recollection of doing so and after watching it, I get it. The first 20 minutes are pretty great. Then I just kept trying to follow what was happening. I was lost by the end of it. It definitely was hurt by how much I like Fury Road and Furiosa which is unfair on my part.
This was recommended in a podcast and I thought I'd give it a try. I've been slowly getting into band documentaries so why not. Having never heard them before, for the first few minutes I kept wondering whether this was real or a mockumentary. Some of the stuff that was happening just came out of nowhere and seemed heavily staged to follow a narrative. They do have some good riffs.
The last third of the movie is better than the first two but that's still not great. Andie MacDowell is probably the only reason I don't rate this lower.
I wanted to like it. I'm curious if people like the portrait mode video scenes or was this one of those "how do you do, fellow kids?" moments from someone in production.
I didn't dislike this. I also didn't like it. It was a pain to get through but I think that's on purpose. This is only my second Cronenberg film which is surprising given how many times I've watched The Fly (1986).
I dont think this one is as rewatchable as the rest so whenever I watch it I find myself rating it lower than last time. Its not bad but to me its the weakest of the series.
