Sorry to hear that the movie didn't impress you very much. I haven't seen it yet, and am looking forward to doing so this week, but after listening to your thoughtful comments, I'll temper my expectations a bit. So, thanks for the heads-up on this. I'm a fan of Chalamet, so at least I will likely enjoy his work nonetheless.

At least Monica did an ass shot

Queer is a brilliantly haunting masterpiece and congrats to Daniel Craig's best actor nomination with the Golden Globe. Fingers crossed.

Please learn how to say CRAIG before you narrate a video in which Daniel Craig appears.

I haven’t seen this yet, but just wanted to say your review was EXCELLENT. So I watched your review on “Conclave,” which I also haven’t seen, and “Saltburn,” which I DID see, and all were great reviews, so I subscribed! Your review of “Queer” was especially good because I’m somewhat apprehensive to see another Guadagnino movie after “Call Me By Your Name,” which was so good it was almost TOO good-it really changed something in me, that HEARTACHE that it left in me-so I was leery of seeing “Queer.” But your review was so glowing that I realized that’s exactly why I should see it! I’m not so eloquent, but really just wanted to say I’m looking forward to more reviews from you! Thanks!

Every aspect of The Apprentice has brilliance. Your review is insightful and mirrors my own appreciation of this film. I lived in Manhattan during this time period. Abassi captured the zeitgeist.

Excellent review. I just saw it today, and you nailed it. It probably does need a second viewing. Some of it is abstract and needs extrapolation. I will need to think about parts of it. But you are correct that it is a beautiful, feeling movie, and the acting is superb. I HATED all the smoking, but it was the '50s. LOL

Here I go again: Like "All of us Strangers" watching all the trailers, interviews and reviews because I can't stream it on my platforms. By the time I eventually see it I'll go: "Meh" in underwhelmed disappointment.

Why isn't there talk of best picture nomination for Queer is quite a tragedy.

Loved it, one of my favourites of the year. I say that as someone who’s never really got on with Luca Guadanigno’s films.

Thanks for the good review. I hope to see it this week. I'm a little concerned about the 3rd act, which some people have had a difficult time with, but I'm willing to have an open mind and see what happens. Cheers.

HOW DOES THIS NOT HAVE COMMENTS? this is a really solid Videooo!! :D

Sebastian Stan has really impressed me this year between this and The Apprentice. My only other exposure to him was the winter soldier

This is the first I've heard of this movie. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, and for doing such a good job at explicating your appreciation of it without spoiling the plot! I personally don't mind spoilers, but plenty of other people do, so well done!

Oh goodness, that Interview example might be one of the worst examples ever. Kind of killed the point of your video.

A FRAWWD MARRIAGE?!?

I watched it on IPTV. The last 5 minutes sums up everything we know about him. His deceased ex-wife even laughed at him for his orange face and all the lypo-suction work he had done. He may have even had something to do with his brother's "suicide". And his father's death is suspicous as he tried to get his inheritence before his father died because he was broke. All the lies he tells continue throughout the movie. It's all about him and his mofia based family.

I can't wait to see all his supporters attempt to boycott this movie for accurately depicting him as a sociopathic sexual predator.

This movie was so good.

It’s actually more like the movie Birdman. And I was so there for it!! Loved this movie!!! I’ve got SNL ties, and they so nailed how hard this show is to put on. Not this bad, but it still runs up to the last minute. 50 yrs later…

I love snl!

I enjoyed it. Could have done with a bit more editing, dragged a bit in places. But it was a good dark comedy.

the only film critic i can trust with my life

Love this movie!

Most overrated movie of 2024.

LET HIM COOK

I watch your vids religiously as i learn a lot its like a great class

This is one of the most fascinating reviews I have seen lately and I really love how you bring the discussion over with the idea of understanding the need to appreciate directors who make a point without moving the camera. I am strongly of the opinion that this kind of frames leave the audience and the actors to interact independently and indepth, which a very strong cinematography style. 💯

Excellent point….👍🏾

What a great video...really enjoyable and inteneresting. Great movies, great analysis.

Thing is so many people think they need to have crazy camera moves to be ‘cool’. I look at comic books/manga for an example. They tell so much story in one frame. It’s all about framing and composition etc

Great video

I dont see wrong the scene from the interview. The unnecessary movement makes the scene a lot funnier

I love your beautiful review. I hope you had a chance to watch it again. I saw it twice in the cinema & I now stream it every now and then. Also I do hope that you watch Aftersun. Paul Mescal’s performance in the series called Normal People is really good too 😊

That 2nd cop was a little slow getting out the vehicle.

It’s a masterpiece!

Had no idea what this is about, but quite the hype around it. Solid review! Gotta seek it out somehow.

Thank you for your direct, sincere and enthusiastic review of this wonderful film. (F.y.i.: Andrew Haigh's last name rhymes with "vague" -- long "a" and hard "g." You got the first part right. And I believe that Paul Mescal's last name is pronounced "MESS-cull," though you're in good company in getting it wrong! Thank you.)

Can’t wait to see this - I love the four main actors!

I enjoyed having a Maurice/Brideshead Revisited turn into American Psycho... it's not as much to be analyzed as just enjoyed for the over the top revelry of narcissism that it is. Oliver went from his sexual want of Felix to be determined he would be discarded as a seasonal pet once he had seen the grandeur of Saltburn, which beyond being the site of the action becomes a character itself.

Great review! 🍿

truly excellent! learned a lot!

In an era of b-movies, blockbusters and franchise sagas Saltburn is that masterpiece we didn’t know we needed. The plot and development reminded me of Parasite, the final scene Boogie Nights. E. Fennell utilised Keoghan’s unique acting features like Lanthimos did. The film displays the harshness and utter violence the average multiplex goer wouldn’t expect - and yet it made it to the wide distribution. This for me is the film of the year.

great insight thanks Mr GS

reminds me of sports. everyone says go faster. but noone teaches you to stop

I don’t agree. Cinema is definitely a combination of great acting and great camera moves/framing. Cinema is a moving medium. Leaving a 17 min scene static is just plain lazy or the actors were not able to concentrate with crew members moving around. Looks like the actors got the better of Steve, or Steve never saw Kurosawa, Coppola, Speilberg or Scot.

Wonderful review I can't wait to watch the movie!

You put where is my mind piano in the background Cool

It must hav taken a lot of work to put this together. This is six years ago, why didnt you continue. Larry
