Welcome everyone! Hang in there it is almost Friday then you can get out and catch a movie! Today Mike and Matt review a very dark and thought-provoking film You Were Never Really Here starring Joaquin Phoenix. Off topics include the Academy Awards, our love of Joaquin Phoenix, and equipment failures again but this time it was Mike!
You Were Never Really Here is an incredible film but again it is super dark. Joaquin Phoenix and Ekaterina Samsonov both did amazing jobs acting. The sound design shocked Matt. It was so incredible even on his crappy surround sound system he just couldn’t believe it. The cinematography and directing were amazing as well. This is a must watch film but again here is another warning the subject matter is extremely dark. Matt really likes this film and thinks it should have garnered more viewings and award nominations than it has. He gives it a great score of 4 out of 5 Reels. Mike also really enjoyed You Were Never Really Here. The darkness and subject matter did put him off just a bit, but he still liked the film a lot. He gives it 3.5 out of 5 Reels.
The guys are still trying to figure out what they want to review for next week. The theaters are pretty light right now with new releases. Matt wants to review a couple of films that your hosts missed in the theaters because of their fairly small releases, Bomb City and Eighth Grade. Tune in on Tuesday to see what they settle on. Chat with you then!
