>a thought provoking movie

>The Feel Good Movies of the Year
>Once In A Blue Moon

>Injecting politics into film reviews
>Film wasn't even remotely political

"It'll have you on the edge of your seat...."

What it really means is

"It'll have you on the edge of your seat after the first 10 minutes as you start to get up to leave"

Biggest newspaper in my country mentioned Trump in their Rogue One review.

>it's a glib facsimile
>doesn't say what it's a facsimile of

Dropped.

>a provocative film
>stunning and sexy!

Is it? Is it fucking really?

>"Watch it before it watches you"

>"Starring Oscar nominee "

>This is a MUST SEE for every true cinephile

>It took 12 years to make!
everytime

>"redefining the genre"

I don't give a shit. Nomination is worthless. If you're first, you're first, if you're second, you're nothing.

Every article I've read about the Super Bowl mentions Trump

>"The best movie of the year"
>It's January

noooo flapper girl pls go

>..but ultimately it falls flat

>In this troubled political climate, this film is necessary...

and all related variants, like fuck off

"It's a movie that thought it was a film."

Also

"I like that there weren't many white people."

honestly this

>watch it before it watches you
Lol wtf?

>Best Film of the Year!
>Released in January

>incidentally it is a fun popcorn movie, albeit a bit problematic

>#1 (genre) Movie In America
>Random assholes on Twitter review
>A treat for the whole family

NONE OF THESE THINGS MEAN ANYTHING

The Twitter thing in particular. They couldn't get a good review for it otherwise so they resort to exploiting niggers and the poor?

I'm to pleb to understand this critic.

Fuck off Kermode is at least better than 90% of the edgelords who cricticise everything.

Only movies ive disagreed with him about are Star Wars and Twilight

>it's about these testosterone-fuelled blokes being horrible to women
