I’m all in for the non horror reviews too!! 💚
As an 80s kid I never, ever tire of the 80s time setting lol. Same goes for the 90s... My comfort era.
I get it though, it is done a lot. I think because that era was so just colorful, experimental, maybe even considered a bit weird. Probably makes it a fun time to set things with that whole aesthetic.
I love you reviewed this! I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I saw it last week. I have to say, Kstew had me questioning my sexuality since 😅 ***somewhat of a spoiler: I didn’t realize till after - that the beginning shows Lou cleaning the toilet and she’s basically cleaning everyone’s messes throughout the movie.
i like that take! she very much is a fixer.
I’m full lesbian so no questioning here 😂 she is a gift that keeps on giving
I’ll try not to make this long comment but I thought it was interesting that the whole movie centers around Kristin Stewart, “freeing” her sister from a abusive/toxic relationship while she was getting in one herself.
I thought it was to symbolize Lou taking her sister's pain away from her essentially.
The ending is a metaphor, it's explained in a line her character says when she first meets Lou Sr. Great film.
Can't wait to hear your thoughts on Immaculate!
Immaculate was very underwhelming
Same! I feel like people either love it or hate it
Me too! It was so effective for me imo
Well, when Gal Gadot got picked as Wonder Woman, there was a lot of criticism because she wasn’t muscular enough but in Hollywood’s standard, she’s considered buff for the role. I feel like the Katy O’Brien was made to audition so many times because they were hoping to find someone “hotter” and muscular like how they would consider Gal Gadot muscular, mainly for the male gaze. Also when you think about the whole idea of Jackie growing bigger when she gets angry and gets pumped and veiny because she’s abusing steroids, it would kind of make sense for her character to be someone less buff, that way her transformation would be more apparent.
The ending worked for me. Audible gasps in certain moments in my screening. The ending def got some laughter and some groans. I loved it
I like how violent the character Jackie is in this movie. She beats the ever-loving sh*t out of people who piss her off. One of the saddest parts of the film is when Jackie calls home, speaks to her young brother, and then her mother takes the phone, calls her a monster, and hangs up the phone.
So glad you loved it! I did too. Kristen Stewart was amazing in it.
I typically like K Stew's acting but I didn't care for her in this movie
I really thought Sarah was teasing new merch with herself on her t-shirt 😂
i was WAITING for you to review this
Is that Sarah on Sarah’s shirt? I’M CONFUSED 😂
We don't get it in the UK until May and I'm so excited for it.
Yay I’m happy you did a review on this! Loved this movie. I always love seeing Kristen and I hope to see Katy O’Brian in a lot more projects now too
Thanks for this review ! I was on the fence to watch it and now I will
This is the movie they watch in The Final Destination
SEATED FOR REVIEW WEEK
Appreciate these past no spoiler reviews you've done! Thank you ♡
i’m SO excited to hear what you thought of Immaculate bc i was so surprised by how good it was, i think best horror release of the year so far tbh
Waiting for Late Night with the Devil review!!!
sameee
Absolutely LOVED this movie. I rarely rate films five stars, but this one definitely earned it.
It truly felt like there were two turning points where I went Oh! Like oh... this is where we are going. And they committed to the turn each time and I love them for it. The JJ reveal, and the audience gasp to go with it, committing to the violence and new, spiraling story line. And then the roid psychosis stage vomit, and the commitment to the abstract. From there, vomitting up your girlfriend? Becoming a giant? Running off into the galaxy? Killing and cleaning up a corpse for your girlfriend of like two months tops? People who do not get what it is going for do not understand lesbian culture, violent women, or humor.
Loved it. Not sure of any horror adjacent movie will top it for me the rest of the year. Thanks for the review.
I honestly appreciate your reviews. Your reviews help me decide if watching these movies is worth my times 😂
I knocked out ALL 3 this weekend!! This one, and Late Night, Immaculate. You saved the best for last!! Late Night With the Devil, blew me away!!!! And I’m a tough critic. Looking forward to your thoughts
i really really enjoyed the humour aspects of this movie, Lou especially, it made it feel more realistic in a way that all these dramatic things are happening but the absurdity is not lost on the characters. so glad to have seen it in the theater!
Literally about to see it for a 3rd time at the time that I'm writing this. I adore this movie so much.
When I saw Clint Mansell’s credit pop up I got even more excited than I already was. Great score!
His score for The Fountain is absolutely gorgeous ❤️
@@silkcatgirl3597 I agree. His best work was with Aronofsky but he still creates great scores
Wait what?! I was literally just listening to his score from Black Swan. I had no idea that he composed this too!
There's a distinct and comical connection to the ending early on and it had me wondering why that, in particular, was shown. It had me anticipating and hoping for a payoff. Then the ending happened and there it was! I don't think I've ever left the movie theater with a bigger smile on my face. Perfection.
What was the connection/reference early on? I didn’t pick up on this!
@@koreighlee **Spoilers** I believe it's when Lou goes over to her sister's house, but at one point, Gulliver's Travels is playing on the TV, the scene opens close up on the screen. I knew there'd be no way for that choice to be meaningless.
Something I just remembered too is that Lou is trying to kick nicotine, which can cause hallucinations.
@@christenmichelle89 omg I never would've picked up on this! I've never read/watched Gulliver's Travels. Thanks for explaining!
If you enjoy Kristen Stewart and haven’t seen Spencer where she portrays Princess Diana i really recommend! It’s not exploitative and is super focused on the emotion of her journey, it’s a great movie!!
So glad to hear your thoughts on this movie and that you liked it 🥰
I watched this movie specifically because of your thumbnail and was not disappointed, loved hearing your review after seeing it!
I've watched this film, and the way you described THAT ending without spoiling it, was the best way you could've done it - not seeing what's on the screen as literal. Not really spoiler, but the other WTF scene was during Jackie's bodybuilding competition, what appeared to be happening in Jackie's mind at that time. That and the ending were the two biggest 'huh?' moments for me. And i agree with you regarding the abrupt and brutal violence, it truly shocked me. I really enjoyed this movie, but i can see why it's not for everyone.
***SPOILER****
I loved the ending you’re referring to. I think it connected and made sense to the rest of the surreal shots throughout the movie when Jackie’s muscles were growing. When she became a giant, I felt it more of a symbolic meaning of being strong and having confidence of who she was and fighting for Lou.
I went to the movies with my husband because he was interested in and I’m glad we got to experience it in theaters. I didn’t watch the trailer beforehand and I kinda feel glad I didn’t because I was surprised. I was probably one of the only one in the theater who gasped and screamed at the scenes that probably were meant to be for those reactions!
We left the theaters super happy and money well spent! I can’t wait to see what nominations it’ll receive next award nominations! ❤
I know this is a long comment but I was happy to see your review on the movie!
The first thing I said when I left the theater to my friend was the ending had me questioning if I the could have done without it as I was really into the film until the end.
Haven't seen yet, but between Kristen Stewart existing and her recent Rolling Stone cover? Yeah, it could be the hottest of garbage and I would still go out of my way to watch it. So hype.
JENA MALONE, TOO?! Gay panic intensifies.
the ending was like a fever dream 😁 loved it. But I'm glad there wasn't too much of it
Super stoked for the Late Night With the Devil review 💙✨️😤
I went through so many emotions with that ending but now that I've sat on it a few days.. it's a big swing and I love it. I'm glad you liked it too.
I had no idea what to expect when I saw this movie last week. I loved it. I also enjoyed hearing Throbbing Gristle in the movie.
I think I need to see this again in the theater. Can't get this movie, or the soundtrack, out of my head.
The _barfing on stage scene_ was tragic. Jackie worked so hard to get to that stage, only to freak-out and toss her cookies while she was performing her moves.
we love being spoiled with so many reviews!!
I thought it was an homage to the classic B movie, Attack of the 50 foot Woman.
Nice saint maude shirt! Great movie
i need your shirt!!
After braving Imaginary for the RUclips community, i feel you can watch what you like and give any opinion you like without recrimination or need of apology. Love your no-nonsense opinions and can't wait to see this movie !!
I am not tired of the 80's nostalgia. But, I can totally understand where you are coming from. I agree that it was better done regarding the use of the period than most 80's period things recently.
Loved this movie. Perfect casting. great soundtrack. Saw it twice in the theater. Definitely a theater experience.
Great review. Loved your insights.
I personally loved the crazy surrealism near the end. That's why I needed to rewatch it. What did I just see? This is going to be a classic.
Easily one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. I literally can’t stop thinking about it as well as the soundtrack.
I’ve been watching your channel I’m a big fan of horror movies I love your videos as well also this movie has been on my list
I sent you an instagram message about immaculate and possibly necessary trigger warnings. I didn’t spoil anything, but I felt a warning was necessary given the themes and what you’ve spoken about on both your channels.
I feel like all the relationships were quite toxic. Daisy & her obsessiveness on Lou. Lou & her crazy killer girlfriend Jackie. Lou & her father. Lou & her sister Beth. Beth & her abusive boyfriend JJ.
Loved this one. All the performances were fantastic and I loved every weird direction it took. Agreed re: Kristen Stewart as well, been a fan since her portrayal of Joan Jett. Who knew when Twilight came out that Kristen and Robert would become some great actors taking on such interesting roles?
can you do a video giving recommendations for whodunit slasher movies?
I ADORED the ending. It caught me off guard and was just…Fantastic. It just captured me so much. It felt so relatable. It is, in the end, all about love and intensity. The ending was much like dreams I’ve had as well, so I’m kind of biased.
Also maybe we can call movies like these “neon noir” 😂
Such a fantastic movie!
Neo noir sounds cool. Gave me lesbian pulp fiction books brought to big screen.
Clint Mansell is a great pick if you wanna watch movies with notable scores - Sunshine, Moon, Requiem for a Dream
Really enjoyed this movie too ☺️☺️
Moss from The I.T. Crowd: "Oh no! It's set in the 80s!"
Me: "This is the She-Hulk movie I've been waiting for, so naturally it's set in the 80s."
i can't wait for your reviews!! I just saw immaculate, and love lies bleeding was so interesting. I wanted to see late night with the devil but the AI has made me pretty sad so i'm waiting a bit for it be online
It is basically every genre except horror 😂
wasn't the first Fear Street meant to be 90s? I didn't buy it, not a single flannel shirt in sight
Right lol. I still wear flannel shirts constantly.
I won't see this movie but enjoyed the review
hey i just finished lake mungo. i really enjoyed and and think you may as well. have you seen it??
You have to read my best friend exorcism because the movie is teach but the book has me bawling my eyes out in the end
I did read it! It still wasn’t really my thing but definitely better than the movie
Ok indont miss any vids of but i really want to watch it 1st before learning anything else about this movie, brb
Love Lies Bleeding was great!!! Rose Glass is two for two 💖
❤
I just saw this film yesterday, and holy smokes! It may not be a Horror movie, but some of those scenes are pure Nightmare Fuel!
Having read that the ending was a metaphor made a lot more sense to me to digest it.
❤❤❤
yea im not a fan of romance either but i had nothing else to watch so i gave it a chance n i suprisingly liked it, im glad it wasn’t the typical lovey dovey romance
I havent seen this movie but its just making me think.... in Final Destination 4? The one where the 2 women are in the movie theater at the mall. Dont they see a movie called Love Lies Bleeding? Its something like that.
The final destination 4 movie is love lays dying
@chaeyoon2120 OH thank you. 🤣
I liked this movie way more than I expected.
P.S I need that saint maud shirt 👀
I did like this film but I wish it explored some of the crime elements a bit more
I love the 80’s setting but when it is done well like Stranger Things for example.
this is the best movie so far this year, regardless of genre. absolutely amazing
*Slight Spoilers*
When my friends and I saw it, we kinda thought the surrealism elements were reflective of becoming what your parents say you are (generational trauma: "You're a monster, Jackie"/Lou and helping her dad and in the end continuing on that legacy w Daisy), addiction to things they know will hurt them in the end (cigs and roids being symbolic of their general lifestyles and the choice to love one another even if it costs them everything), and then how Lou sees Jackie as "larger than life"
The end was a bit jarring but I think I could love it on a rewatch.
so excited to see this one! 2023-24 really has been great for lesbians in film
That ending is very similar to that of Divinity (2023), which also deals with steroids. I wonder if it is just a coincidence
I liked this non horror movie review
The End was beautiful
So many movies are set in the 80s because it was the best decade. 😉
Best movie of the year! Kristen Stewart great actor, perfectly cast. I don’t know how you distinguish 1987 from 1991????!
I loved Love Lies Bleeding
Ugh, my little lesbian heart ❤️ I adored it.
Best movie reviewer on RUclips.
speak on it!!!!
I liked it, really well done movie there's a bit too many sex scenes for me personally lol. Oh and I'm definitely an ending hater lmao I just can't justify it as anything good other than quirky
The ending was wild. I still don’t know how to feel about it.
Is the gore really THAT bad? I really wanna see this movie, but I'll probably skip it if it's too graphic
There’s only one real bloody scene, a couple that show the aftermath of DV if you get me
@@stoneyyogi Gotcha, if it's only that I should be able to watch it!
I cant wait for your review on "immaculate". I loved it. It was a insane watch lol
I preferred Rose Glass' first film Saint Maude to this but this movie was still pretty good
I wish this movie was getting more love box office wise but I think its a classic already
I loved it so much and agree with everything you said but it was 4.5 stars for me! Be gay, do crime. 😌
I like your shirt… where can I get it?
Studiohouse Designs! But they do limited collections so I’m not sure if or when they’ll reissue these
@@PossessedbyHorror 🤞🏼🙏🏼🖤
Can’t deny it, felt real and felt super 80s in a perfect way with the grime, cast was fire, one moment in the end was ehhhh…
A24 is killing it with all these movies!!!
