I love this review! However my read is SLIGHTLY different. I see this film as Julie returning to the hotel to write about her mother on her mother’s birthday, the same place her mother told her the haunting secrets from her past on a previous trip (possibly together). The mother is never actually there with her at this time of her writing, instead Julie has manifested her mother in writing about her. That’s why the mother disappears when after she blows out the cake, because she was never there (punctuated by the reactions from the hotel employee). Her blowing out the candle and the mother not being there is her accepting her mother’s death and finding the ability to finish her writing. And there’s probably a lot more stuff that went way over my head, but that was my reading of it
I thought that too the, until the mother had the conversation with Bill I thought she was the ghost that haunted the hotel, that part threw me off
@@resolecca I interpreted that as her maybe passing away there, at their last trip. Her ghost lingers in the house and Bill, who has spent a large portion of his life there, and also talks to his wife, is maybe sensitive to the energies in the house. Maybe she had the conversation with him because Bill can actually see her. And the reason he is so kind to Julie is that he sees himself in her because they both talk to their loved one that has passed.
The atmosphere alone was like a character. There was flashes throughout the movie of her holding her mother's hand and ya knew she was dead,so not sure if the whole movie was linear and she had on the same dress at the death and birthday dinner. When she had the window open at the end and the curtain blew it was her mother's spirit leaving and Julie was finally at peace.
As a north American, watching the receptionist pause before getting in her car was confusing. I assumed she got in and drove herself home, but felt reluctant to do so. Later I realized she was getting picked up and the vehicle was right side drive.
I love your ideas young man. I'm 65 and my mother died in 2016 at age 92. It was a very complicated relationship. I love Tilda so much. I think you are spot on.
Thank you! I'm so glad you connected with the film and this video, I think the film will resonate with so many of us because child-parent relationships have so many different dimensions. And I agree, Tilda is fantastic, she has really good taste in her projects, and I'm always excited to see a new film with her. All the best to you, and thank you again!
I think the mother never was there. Or at least not this time. She obviously passed away in that house. Which is why it's important to her to get a certain room. When she finds out that the room she wanted is unavailable she insists to see it first because It must look similar to the one her mom passed away in. When she cries on the bed at the end, she has a grey wig on.
Omg thank you for this! I just watched it and you cleared up all my confusion, you’re the best!!
My pleasure, I’m so glad I could clear things up! And thank you so much, you’re too kind!
What an amazing review! This one hits close to home for me since my relationship with my own mother was very complicated. Family is never black and white; it's full of nuance and you captured this film's essence perfectly. You are brilliant, as usual.
Thank you so much! Yeah I totally agree with u, I think everyone is gonna have some sort connection with this film since we all have older family in one way or another. I was just with my grandmother a few weeks ago in Scotland who I rarely get to see, and I felt so many of the same feelings conveyed in the movie. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video, thank you so much again!
Fear and dread of death and mortality. Loss of sleep/exhaustion and loss of self during the long, inward, and inevitable journey, Grief. Any 55+ female caretaker of an elder mother or father will relate, Also appreciated the traditional English/Anglo setting & perspective. Good analysis, & well done film!
Thanks, nice review. I saw it as Julie going back to the hotel a year after the two were there. But the scenes in the main part of the film were constructed out of what Julie wrote in the second visit/ the last of the film. I was confused by one scene: The first time you see mother and daughter in the same shot talking in the bedroom. You see them together in one shot but in the usual standard cutting back and forth in close up dialogue, the left right direction / editing is "bad". Mother and daughter are now in the others beds. I had to watch that scene again to confirm. Not quite sure what was being said or whether it was just a filmmaking joke.
Great analysis and review!!! With Aftersun from last year, this topic truly hits "home" and it's very upsetting, but in a good way!!! Thanx!!!!
Wait wait wait....I don't think her mother was ever at the hotel with her throughout the movie suggesting the mother passed years ago.
So at no point did the receptionist see her mother through the entire movie BUT Bill did?
Yeh im kind of confused too
When the receptionist said to the mother her bag was on the floor after she bumped it with her shoe she looked at the mother. But i wonder the same thing too.
I just wrote basically the same thing then saw your comment.
@@christine7956 I did wonder that.
But I also noticed that no other character interacted with BILL either. He stood alone at the end of the movie.
@@TheVeiledCollective i think i need a rewatch!
Hey man, just subscribed, I'm loving your videos. Your analysis is very interesting and similar to my thoughts, as well. I also find your voice to be very relaxing and easy to listen to. Looking forward to more, keep up the good work!
Spot on!! Nice analysis. I made the joke during the movie when she was talking to Bill about her mother him responding but you are here by yourself.. Turned out to be true.. Very realistic movie in a way. The psychological part
Excellent as always! Thank you!
Thank you so much!!
Brilliant explanation of the film narrative. We have been wondering with my husband after watching the film tonight. You are so much right in your analysis. I didn’t grasp the presence of the symbolism to the extend you did. Thank you so much, dear Lucas.
Great analysis. Loved the movie!
I was puzzled by the movie and your review explains things clearly ... thanks.
Thanks for this man!
Anytime my friend, thank you!
The mother was never there. She's a figment of Julie's imagination. That's why the receptionist is constantly annoyed, because she has to indulge this obviously batsh*t crazy woman's silly fantasies. That's what the argy-bargy about the 1st floor room at the start is about. This is a ritual Julie goes through every year. Bill is much kinder and more indulgent. That's why after the birthday dinner he reassures Julie that "you did everything right". He's seen this celebration before, perhaps many times. The scene where the mother dies is a flashback. Rosalind died long ago and the film is about Julie's inability to accept the death of her mother.
You’re amazing thank you
You’re too kind, thank you so much!!
You're getting beter and beter at this. Nice one!
Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed!
@@lucasblue20 How do you think this relates to her triple role in Suspiria? There's one you might also like as it seems to fall into your preferred type, kinda.
@@Cl0ckcl0ck I’ve actually never seen Suspiria, the new one or the old one. Would you say it’s worthy to cover?
@@lucasblue20 Since you already like Tilda Swinton, the Lighthouse and seem to have a thing for young women going through psychological things, I would say you would be doing yourself a disservice not to see at least the new one.
If you take into account where the new one went from the old one and now The Eternal Daughter I see how a big star got pet projects that didn't cost too much for her own expression every few mainstream roles.
You might find your muze. :) I think you might end up with a set of things to cover.
Ofc you might also not see any link at all.
Art is personal.
Ok, I'll take your word for it. I've added both the original and the new version to my classics watchlist. I think it would be a good Classic Explained upload. Thank you so much!
I'm a cinema lover and an my level of accuracy is very high. Just to tell you that your review is an 10/10.
nice explanation video :B
Why did bill say: "i hope you and your mother are having a pleasant stay." (or somethint close to that)?
how did he know?
yes... she was never there i guess :( and we are confronted with that reality when she is singing happy birthday to no one and the receptionist is feeling kinda bad for her. I think too that she hits the bag of Julie's mother so many times because there's nothing there, or just simply is out of the way bc her mother is not there to fix it, like you can see her trying to pull back the plastic bag and it stays at the same place it was before. I also think that the receptionist it's not that bad but when Julie was grieving, she saw her as an intruder (differently from Bill, that actually helped her and she could relate bc the loss of her parents). ALSO if you hear closely, you will notice that when Julie is crying on the bed (after dinner party scene) the moaning, sobbing and crying is very identical to the same noises she was hearing at night, so I think she was being literally haunted by her pain (inside her head) that's why no one complained about the noise. ONE LAST THING, and my favorite, THE STORY SHE IS WRITING IN THE END IS HOW THE MOVIE BEGINS, SHE IS LITERALLY DESCRIBING THE SCENE IN THE TAXI, okay that's all hahaha
I agree with you. Also when she's crying on the bed, she has the gray wig on.
Thanks again. Have you watched The Menu yet, I think you would like it and I’d love to hear a review of it by you. I loved it and it’s gotten great critical acclaim…
totally my pleasure, thank you! I was on vacation throughout November, so I missed some releases that looked fantastic like The Menu. It looks super good, so I think I'll cover it in January when theatrical releases start to slow down. Thank you for watching!!
I recommend "The Father" btw thanks for explaining this movie!
Thank you for watching! And I covered The Father haha just search up "The Father Explained Lucas Blue"
@@lucasblue20 Awesome!! Thanks!
Great review. Others I've read were idiodic!
Like a few people on here, I’m inclined to believe that the mother was never there. However, I’m having a hard time with the fact that Julie goes through actual conversations with her mother throughout the movie. Is she talking to herself? Has she written actual dialogue that she re-enacts during those scenes (her being a writer and all)? Or does she play recording of those conversations that she recorded in the past when the mom was still alive?
would you consider analyzing Dream Home (2010)?
I recommend The Menu
Yeah I was on vacation when The Menu came out, and I just got back last week so I still have to see it. It looks fantastic and I’m hearing good things, so I’ll certainly see it and likely cover it in January when releases die down. Thanks for letting me know!!
I thought the Mother (Rosalind), was no way old enought to have spent the "War years" in the hotel. If this is set in the recent present she would nead to be around 90. The ending is confusing, she suddenly becomes a 90 year old dying in the hotel room and then the daughter is inspired to write the story she has been struggling with and leaves the hotel with a spring in her step??
Haven’t watched this movie but I would like to drop a recommendation for ‘Bones and All’.
I think it would fit in well with your recent uploads.
Yes, Bones and All would be great! I was on vacation over November visiting family, so I missed a few releases that would’ve fit so well for the channel. I’ll try to get back to those films like Bones and All and The Menu, but I think I’ll get to them in January after a few of the other major releases like The Whale and Empire of Light. Thank you for letting me know though, it really means a lot!
Can you confirm was the mother ever with her in the hotel and if not how do we explain the scene where the mother is talking to the old man about her daughter not having children ? 🤷🏻♂️
I was confused about that too. If she wasn't there maybe he's able to see ghosts? But i think she was there and died because it was November when they arrived and Christmas when Julie left. If we knew the date of the mother's birthday it would be a huge clue.
Wait wait wait. Was her mother even there at all, or just in her imagination? Was the receptionist at the end saying, I hope you will be OK, because Julie was talking to herself (to her imaginary mother) all the time she was there?
yes... she was never there i guess :( and we are confronted with that reality when she is singing happy birthday to no one and the receptionist is feeling kinda bad for her. I think too that she hits the bag of Julie's mother so many times because there's nothing there, or just simply is out of the way bc her mother is not there to fix it, like you can see her trying to pull back the plastic bag and it stays at the same place it was before.

Very bored. Js to show how she regrets and miss her mother
One of those WTF did I just watch movies
this was just too dry of a film for me, contrary to what the trailers gave off. Would've been great as a short film. the entire movie is a personal project for the director, almost like it was meant for her own therapeutic benefit lol. this movie doesn't give a fuck if you like it or not.
i think this is the worst movie i've seen this year lol
It´s selled as a horror movie and there´s nothing like that in it. Total waste of time.
I was expecting time travel or ghosts. Yes, it's a terribe fim. Should have been a 30min short instead of 2 hour film.
