"Peyton Reed's DOWN WITH LOVE cleverly uses exaggeration, artifice, and opulence to rocket it past pastiche and into a new space where it utilizes the genre’s shenanigans in order to comment on the genre itself." https://t.co/5q1YDQ1Yyf
"Brian De Palma's PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE is decadence splashed on celluloid, a celebration of the shine of glam rock, and a preemptive funeral for the scene officiated by the dark underside of the business." -@dodgyboffin https://t.co/lM08c64z8K

"ALMOST FAMOUS is not just a story about falling in love with life’s possibilities, nor a story about falling in love with music; at its heart, it's a film about falling in love with writing about music. It’s the story of how a boy became a critic." https://t.co/1yB5FzD10l
"THE STRAIGHT STORY represents the Lynchian world redeemed, a pocket of America that battled dread and violence and won, earning its just reward." https://t.co/yjuh7NfHTh
"The Tree of Life feels like the culmination of all Malick had been building towards for 40 years, working at the peak of his powers on a project that obsessed him, in one form or another, for most of his career." https://t.co/9NrIOXf6bF
"Mike Nichols' WORKING GIRL, at its heart, is a film that examines the nuances of the intersection of class and feminism, packaged slyly in the form of a light-hearted, girl power-flavored workplace comedy."
