2017 | Drama, Romance
I can't believe this movie has won so many awards. It was the longest 2+ hours of my life, sitting in the theater and watching this movie. The camera work was shoddy, and almost made me ill, at first I thought it was done to be artsy or something... But no. I wasn't quite sure how the two main characters managed to figure out they were interested in each other. I am also forever scarred by Elio American-Pie-ing an apricot. The only redeeming quality of this entire movie was the fact it took place in the 80s, so Armie Hammer was wearing short shorts.

The Secret Life Of Pets 2 (2019) is like three Saturday morning cartoons mashed into one.
Picture the scene: Illumination writing room, circa 2017.

Plans are well underway for the TV spinoff of “The Secret Life Of Pets” and the team have broken down around a dozen shorts to fill up the schedules when suddenly the word comes down that the studio have decided they want a theatrical sequel instead. Writer 1: Okay, shall we start from scratch?

Writer 2: *shrugs* Nah, it’s nearly lunch, let’s just jam the ideas together until we hit the magic 90-minute mark.

Writer 1: Done. Let’s get lunch.

"“Redoubt” isn’t Matthew Barney’s finest work (“River of Fundament” would be on my top 10 of the decade list I haven’t bothered to make), but his control of rhythm, editing and non-verbal storytelling is unmatched. I wonder what it would be like if he made one of those Pixar shorts that play before features. As a rule, I generally try not to put movies by close friends on these lists but I’ve known Daniel Schmidt since we went to NYU together and couldn’t believe the leap forward he (and Gabriel Abrantes) made with “Diamantino.” I think these two would be a swell double feature. Speaking of double features…"
