Well Lanthimos seems to have Mida's touch. Good for him and everybody who has the courage to sit down for the whole duration of the movie and also understand it. His movies are directed geniously and very complete, but many (and me) could not watch even the first half an hour. Somewhere i read that when you hear too many controversial critics about anything, it is a sign that a genius is involved. For me it is clear that this is the case here, but i belong to the part of people that maybe do not like his approach of his creation, specially the screenplay. In almost all his movies. I am not a fan of Emma either, so this may contribute negatively. I am proud that a fellow Greek made such a rocketing career in Hollywood, but that's it. I do not find it intriguing to sit down and see his movies because maybe I am not able to conceive his genius. On the other hand hand, i do not consider Picasso's Guernica a masterpiece, nor i accept Pollock as a great painter, but i value them as sone extraordinary talents that my mind cannot appreciate. Same with Lanthimos and Poor Things. And almost all his previous movies. Good luck with the movie.
The ingredients are very promising. And the materialization is very good. I do not like Kate much - but I loved the lady that played her younger self - and I admire Kevin. I also respect Cuaron as a director but I hate him as a writer which proves me right here. I also have to admit that the acting diversity of Sasha is very impressing so the Disclaimer was very entertaining even though it was unnecessarily long - it could have been a fine 2 hour movie. Cuaron knows how to captivate you with his fine directing and if you blend that with the natural acting of the movie stars here, you wish there were another couple of episodes in the end. Recommended. But be ready for a stupid ending. To my taste at least.
Well, I am not a fan of Cate. I recognize her talent, nobility and other qualities that makes her a '"Grand Damme" but I don't like her blaze and "British" behavior. There is something annoyingly fake there. Also I don't believe that she deserved the Oscar in "Jasmine" but OK, it was on a Woody Allen's movie. She did not convince me as a conductor either, as I have watched a few maestros live and filmed. But here we have a very high level of cinematography, directing, acting, and music scores. If it was to chose only between this and that "Everything" joke, I would vote for TAR. The way that the orchestra, the musicians and their feelings are filmed, is magnificent. Long but very satisfying movie. If you are also into classic music, you will love it.
