Everything Everywhere all at Once is the only good A24 movie

The Whale - TLC show but moody

The Flordia Project - TLC show but tropical

This shit sucks. Have A24 made anything of the same quality of everything everywhere?

Everything Everywhere is probably my favourite film of theirs, but they've got a lot of good stuff, and a lot of interesting stuff. They take risks, which is valuable, even if they don't always pay off.

Going down the list:

Under the Skin is interesting far beyond Scarlett Johansson getting naked. Room is very good, if possibly affected by how you might feel about Brie Larson. Lady Bird is great and Barbie makes more sense if you've seen it. The Disaster Artist is a lot of fun and James Franco does an excellent Tommy Wiseau. I love Hereditary, with an impossibly good Toni Collette; Midsommar has a similarly great Florence Pugh, and while they take too long to get to the fireworks factory it's a film that stays with you. The Lighthouse, like The Viking, is not for me, but they are both well made versions of not for me films.

I've seen a few others. Beau is Afraid is fricked up and indulgent, You Hurt My Feelings is a very slight comedy that's a lot of fun, Aftersun is well-done but rarely as profound as it thinks it is, The Whale is someone's first play from a decade ago and it really shows... I could go on.

But a special highlight to Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, which is utterly charming, and Bodies Bodies Bodies, which I love almost as much as Everything Everywhere and is a horror-comedy that is fabulously scabrous. Not enough people saw it and it's a poisonous delight that posters here would probably like.

They're more niche, in a way I appreciate. Also The Whale is overrated. You're not wrong, but you're comparing their best film to a couple of their more Current Year offerings. If you like horror, they offer some interesting variety there.

All those words won't bring daddy back.
