Tall Girl (2019)
Tall Girl (2019)
2019 | Comedy, Drama, Family, Romance
Tall Girl is a Netflix original that centers around Jodi. Jodi is extremely tall and struggles with issues of self esteem due to her height. The movie is, at times, predictable but overall enjoyable. Parts felt a little cliche but took a few fun twists. I would recommend watching at least once.

"One of the premier examples of a sequel that bests the original. Director James Whale received carte blanche to make this quirky, stylish and mordantly funny follow up to what was probably the greatest horror film of its day. The amped-up creation scene is still one of the genre’s most memorable."

"One of the first Criterion discs I purchased . . . back when it was laserdisc. I much prefer Bergman’s original five-hour, six-part television version to the U.S. cut . . . both of which are in this DVD set. When people tell me I should get married, I ask, “Have you seen Scenes from a Marriage?”"

"Here’s a great double bill: watch this film with its haunting original score by Georges Auric, then again as a Philip Glass opera. (Thank you, Criterion, for including both tracks.) This Cocteau-Marais collaboration still intoxicates. Not since Sternberg had a director put his star (also his lover) on such luminous display."

"Perhaps the best introduction to another great original of the English novel, who learned from Firbank's economy, but who had his own quite different imaginative world. Loving, set among the servants of an Irish country house, combines his superbly truthful ear for how people really speak with an unforgettable vein of surreal poetry."
