Has anyone seen this piece of shit? The hate for it seems universal. I want to see it now.

I've seen a couple of scenes and it really looks next-level bad.

What's wild is that it actually got a ton of praise from critics and audiences when it was released, the tide turned on it very quickly

i think when the movie premiered in Cannes the vibe was mostly good and then after a while and specially after the movie was out everyone really hated it.

I could only see 35 minutes of it. I might come back someday, but i need to be drunk to see it.

«The Brutalist' and 'Conclave' are predicted to win the most statuettes, but' Anora' will claim the night's top prize.»

Of the Best Picture nominees that I've seen so far, I would rank them thusly:

Anora
Dune: Part Two
Conclave
The Substance

More like A-bore-a!

Somebody should get slapped every year at the Oscars, and they keep it secret just like the actual awards so nobody knows who it’ll be

Talk about A-chore-a to get through!

I've tried to like the dune movies, but I just don't. Lynch did it better.

We have watched the same movies. Anora is my favorite too.
Conclave is good, a solid second place. Dune Part Two I thought was alright, much better than the first one.
The Substance is straight up bad.

As for the rest: I watched half of Wicked on a flight and couldn't stomach it. The Brutalist I keep meaning to watch but its length makes me want to watch just about anything else -- I'll get to it at some point. Haven't seen A Complete Unknown nor do I want to. I'm gonna watch I'm Still Here this week. Don't know anything about Nickel Boys. I haven't seen Emilia Perez but I desperately want it to win big so all these Letterboxd teens see what a farce the Oscars are.

Wicked
The Substance
Conclave
Dune: Part Two
A Complete Unknown
Anora

I have a feeling Nickel Boys will end up being my favorite of the bunch once I finally see it.

Watching for Conan

I've only seen Dune 2

I'd rank the one I've seen as follows

Anora
A Complete Unknown
The Brutalist
Conclave
Dune Part Two
Nickel Boys
The Substance

ain't seen Wicked, I'm Still Here, or Emilia Perez. And I didn't do this on purpose, but my ranking is a near exact inverse of Joe's for the ones we've both seen.

Wow you liked A Complete Unknown a lot

meh. second best of a mediocre bunch. Anora is the only one on that list I well and truly loved. I

Complete Unknown is a fine entry in the bio-pic genre. Never overwrought or desperate, often fun. I like Chalamet and Dylan and thought the supporting cast all did a fine job. It was a pleasant couple of hours, nothing life-changing

I would agree with this review, except that I would say the supporting cast was excellent.

Yeah, you're right. Fine job was the wrong way to put it.
