be kind, rewind

[blithespirit]

Over the weekend I saw a trailer for Be Kind, Rewind and I need to urgently ask "HOW DID I MISS THAT!?"
And yes, I intend to ignore the middling review that Margaret and David gave it and see it anyway.

Margaret and David were probably kinder than I was.

it is such a sweet, joyous, funny film. i heartily recommend it. one of my standouts from last year. of course i consider zoolander to be the height of film culture so really, i wouldn't listen to a word i say!

A delightful piece of work, probably my highlight of the year so far. It does tail off, alas, into sentimentality in the final third but the first two thirds are so good that it's not really a problem.

Man. What a divisive movie.

Yeah but H, no offence, but you strike me as someone who'd generally hate Gondry et al films anyway :P

Actually, my tastes in movies are more diverse.

And I was looking forward to BKR, even though every single person I know warned me off it.
And it was worse than that.

You may be right. The only other movie I have seen of his has been "Dave Chappelle's Block Party" - and that was pure shit. His other work is a little sparse, and I doubt Block Party is representative, so... eh.

We need to see that too.
