Movie Journal - Feb 2018 (9)

- The Florida Project (Sean Baker, 2017)


This movie is brimming with childhood wonders life. Brooklynn Prince is amazing in this, rasanya amazed tiap kali lihat child actor yang aktingnya jago banget kayak gini. She's the heart of the movie, front and center, and guuuuurl she gave you everything and more. Cinematography cakep banget, penuh warna-warni macam fantasi. Gue gak paham kenapa film ini ga dapet nominasi apa-apa di Oscars selain Best Supporting Actor buat Willem Dafoe. Tangerine, now this, I'm excited to see what's next from Sean Baker!

- Una Mujer Fantastica (Sebastian Lelio, 2017)


Anyway this one isn't an easy sit, but it's glorious. Terus gini kek, film tentang transgender ya yang main bukan cis male/female lah! I'm glad they take home the statue yesterday! Also, Daniela Vega gorgeous sekali di Oscars kemaren hah?!!

- Bar Bahar (Masyaloun Hamoud, 2016)


Tiga wanita modern dengan values yang berbeda. Tinggal serumah. Hurdles. Friendship. Ya you get the gists lah. It's quite fun, I like it.

- The Ritual (David Bruckner, 2017)


Sayangnya The Ritual itu kayak film-film horror yang pernah lo tonton sebelumnya. Kayak The Descent, a group of friends memutuskan untuk take a trip setelah ada yang meninggal. The Descent suami dan anak si protagonis dan trip ke goa, The Ritual salah satu dari mereka sendiri dan trip ke hutan. Kayak The Blair Witch Project, the sticks figures, the stones, the weird noises at night, they found a cabin too! The Ritual juga agak ngingetin sama The Witch somehow. The only great thing from this movie (at least to me yah) is the design of the monster! I've never seen anything like that. It's fucking creepy. Ngingetin gue sama gem mutants di Steven Universe episode Nightmare Hospital!

- Black Panther (Ryan Coogler, 2018)


Hal yang agak kurang asik di Black Panther itu fighting scenes nya Black Panther sih, but that's okay I guess, Black Panther lebih ke film tentang Wakanda dibanding Black Panther sendiri. Jadi jagoannya ya banyak, Tchalla, Shuri, Okoye, Nakia, Ramonda, Everett, bahkan Kilmonger sendiri (he's the hero of his own story kan). I really like Black Panther, it's different, it's energetic, it's relevant. Shuri is the MVP and Michael B Jordan is fucking hot.

- Columbus (Kogonada, 2017)


A warm movie with Japanese sensibility. Gue langsung keingat Ozu. Kayaknya film ini dibuat specifically buat gue deh hahahaha. Gue senang John Cho punya peran utama di film kayak begini, also we could see his cute butts... dan Haley Lu Anderson!! Aktingnya hangat, manis, dan quiet. Dengan minimal saja rasanya banyak emosi di matanya. Uhuk.

- Maudie (Aisling Walsh, 2016)


SALLY HAWKINS IS A NATIONAL TREASURE PROTECT AT ALL COST.

- Call Me By Your Name (Luca Guadagnino, 2017)


Like I said, this is a gorgeously shot queer fantasy. Loving and very cultured family. Gak ketinggalan, mereka tajir mampus, summer house di itali nya kayak istana. Summer fling sama a greek god. Also dianya sendiri mukanya rapi mampus. It all comes down to preferences yaa, dan mungkin ga semua film mesti terasa riil, tapi film ini gak relatable banget buat gue. Semua lines yang mereka utarakan itu sangat... script banget gitu. A screenplay. Do real people talk like that? Perhaps. I don't know. I'm not that cultured. Semua shot tuh kayak teriak "OOO CINEMA". Rasanyaa film ini baru unjukkin hatinya di 15 menit terakhir. A bit pretentious for my liking but I enjoyed it sih. Timothee please potong rambut nak...

- Lady Bird (Greta Gerwig, 2017)


Now this, agh... I love it so much. Greta Gerwig through and through. I could see her stamps and her projections all over the movie. Beautifully shot and acted, the pacing, the story, it hits in all the right spots. I honestly don't know what to say BUT CAN I GET AN AMEN???

Movie of the month: D'uh doyyyy, JUSTICE FOR LADY BIRD. Screw you Oscars.

    1. Wheee aseeek hahaha!!

      Gue suka bingung ditanya gitu, film baru sih paling antisipasi dari kabar atau trailer gitu kali ya, apa yang interesting buat gue jadinya gue tungguin deh.

      Bisa dari Coming Soon to Theaters di Rotten Tomatoes, atau gue suka bacain AV Club juga, rata-rata gegara browsing film x terus akhirnya fall down the rabbit hole sih, jadi lihat-lihat similar movies, lihat-lihat film lain dari directornya, etc etc. Screenrant(dot)com juga enak buat dapetin update film atau tv shows, atau lihat list-list film yang mereka suka buat. Anything sih basically.

      Will do mar! Thank you mar!! Your comment made my day. ;)
