It’s really interesting that Christy talked about the last shot being daring, because (fun fact) the way the house is framed in that shot with both floors exposed is exactly how the Broadway set was designed.
And, the parallel with Mass is very interesting, since Reed Birney (from Mass) won a Tony award playing the part Richard Jenkins played in The Humans on Broadway.
I really don’t understand her. She originally says that the initial visual style starts to wear thin and that the director should have gone in the direction of the last shot but that final visual moment is just simply an extension of several other moments throughout the film.
@@SallyMankus130 Pretty sure she means that dollhouse view of both floors from the fourth wall view. It was a really neat perspective of the apartment we only got once at the very end.
I saw this play a few years ago. (I think) it's a depiction of the sad decline of life in America for the average family. Like the old apartment in a not-so-nice part of town, the family creaks and groans its way through Thanksgiving dinner.
I had the opposite reaction in that found the camera choices frustrating and off putting at first but as it went along I got more into it and found it pretty interesting. Thanks to it being on Showtime I've caught parts of it again and more I think about it the more I am liking it. Agree that Amy Schumer is very good with this kind of material and hope to see more from her.
Was there anything to the mentioning and unusual intrigue into dreams throughout this movie? Everything became so tense when the Father brought up the faceless woman and he kept inspecting all the water damaged holes in the walls, partly because he's a concerned Dad. But when the coffee had a bubble/hole as he was telling more of the dream, Steven's character was convincing him to enter the hole next time.
The way the final shot in the movie was framed made it look like a tunnel/hole that he was being lured into. It could also be that the woman he cheated on meant nothing to him and doesn't want to put a face to her in his dreams, but that she tempts him with that hole he doesn't want to address 🤷🏻
But nobody on any review video is mentioning the dreams and how weirdly enthusiastic the family was to hear his, so now I'm just left here poorly guessing what was up with all that.
When the dad kept looking at the ceiling from the table the stains from water damage looked like a woman with her breast showing.
“Cold Turkey” is another dysfunctional family Thanksgiving dinner.
Time keeps going by, and Christy keeps becoming more beautiful!
I heard that's why Matt is gone. He was jealous of all the Christy fans.
@@cjlaity1 Is he really gone?
@@zolibako4816 -- I don't know. He's been gone for a month or so now. Someone said he's "taking some time off".
She really does though!
This basically felt like every time I go to my parents house. This.... is a movie!? WTF
I loved this movie. The dialogue flows so well and the performances are great. One thing that stands out is the camera shots, I think that's some of the best stuff in the movie. There are no shot reverse shot or over the shoulder shots. He lets the scene play out with two characters in a shot. Loved it. It captures all sorts of anxieties from different generations and how it's a new time period in American culture.
I loved the uncomfortably long shot on the mother near the beginning as she holds the conversation and the long shots down the hallway
The best review I've seen: "If you want to watch a family that is going to have a less fun time at Thanksgiving than you will, you can check this one out." Nothing happens, I didn't learn nor experience anything new.
What was it that Richard Jenkins saw near the end?
I haven't seen the movie yet. I did see the play and I don't remember it ending with the dad like this. Maybe he's looking at a vision of his future and/or his family's future.
I really loved this, in a lot of ways I think this is a real estate horror movie about Midwesterners (small Towner's generally) being horrified by big city living conditions. All those shots of Richard Jenkins staring out the window just remind me of my Dad moving me into my Philly basement apartment
I think they live in a basement apartment with two levels. For NYC it looks quite large but dingy and dark looking and all the windows have metal bars. It makes it look like a prison. Maybe that’s a metaphor for life. Amy Schumer impressed me with her character. Playing a lesbian was is overcoming a breakup and heath issues.
I don't know about this one, I've heard a lot of mixed stuff. Glad I re-watched What's Cooking (2000) and Pieces of April for Thanksgiving fare this year.
I guess "Dutch" with Ed O Neal is
Considered a Thanksgiving movie
I loved this play. I am curious as to how the movie will be because it seemed so theatrical. I always worry plays like this won't translate well, especially after August Osage County.
I would agree it sorta runs out of steam by the mid point and then regains it for its final moments when it becomes a "real" horror film, but I really dug it. Overall I just found it really fascinating and suspenceful and involving
Not a horror film.
Just a sad, boring movie with dumb jumpscares.
Would this make a good double feature with Mass?
i'm wondering the same thing
A little crestfallen, after the title, that this isn't an adaptation of Matt Haig's "The Humans" (2013). A comic/poignant reimagining of a "Starman" scenario for the readers out there.
Christy, thumbs up to the Ginette Reno shirt from a Québécoise :-)
Thank you for noticing! She is a legend.
So u liked this over Mass??
This movie was absolutely abysmal.
For the life of me I could not understand why anyone would like this movie let alone love it. I see people calling it the scariest movie they’ve seen. What?!? How? Just because it partially relates to your life? A night in the hood is 1000x more scary than this movie.
It’s hilarious that the dumb jumpscares keep you from dozing off.
This movie was fantastic
Pathetic film.
The film is about the horror of being a midwit with a sense of entitlement. That is a creature perfectly designed for psychological and emotional suffering.
I like matt
Such a boring film.
When you thought you’re dozing off, boom goes the jumpscares.
It's an awful film, beating Spencer as the most overrated film so far this year. I can't say how bad it gets from its midpoint onwards, because I'd given up on it by then. But what I saw was basically a bunch of uninteresting characters having uninteresting conversations, in a dark house, being morose and waffling. No plot. No dramatic energy. You could just go to your own family get together and it would be far more fun than this. The film reinforces that it's meant to be depressing through the lazy choice of destaturated colour grading. So it isn't good to look at either. Based on a play, apparently. Hard to believe the play was well received enough that it allowed its writer to screen-adapt his own work.
Brigid needs a good two, three slaps for being such a spineless crybaby.
Seriously, this is such a boring film with some dumb jumpscares to keep you awake.
I was thinking to myself "man when is Act I ending?" and I looked and I was already 40 mins in....this is a quintessential "pretentious" movie.
@@oliverlabrador8880 "Pretentious" I can cope with, sometimes, so long as the pretension is at least interesting. Second rate Beckettisms and self-conscious Ingmar Bergman pastiches do not entertainment make.
the movie was excruciating painful to watch
Im sorry but if you like this movie you are pretentious. It was truly a waste of time
Dreadful, isn't it? A boring, pointless mess. I said this via a paragraph under its original trailer. Guess what? They took down my review.
Any movie that you need to watch a video to find out what it was about, is a bad movie. It’s not a horror movie, and has nothing to do with aliens. There’s no deeper meaning. Any Schubert acting is awful. It’s so, so bad. Worst movie I’ve ever seen.
What a lazy review .There are so many more layers to this film that they missed .
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.
This movie is the best movie of this year... this movie was pure art. These two sound like they looked at a masterpiece of art and got only 70% of the art piece.
No growth, no surprise, just 1 gimmick and 1 dull family
This movie was pure fart
Best movie?!
It barely kept me awake with all the “interesting” characters and “intriguing” plot.
Oh, and all those dumb jumpscares? Pure gold!
This story was just as boring as it was when I saw it on Broadway. It's presented in a way that almost convinces you it's saying and doing something important. Almost.
Congratulations. You are the only person I've come across other than myself honest enough to admit this is indulgent, pointless pabulum.
Sad and boring film with dumb jumpsacres.
@@TEDdotcom I never got that far. Was nearing a state of coma after 40 minutes, and had no choice but to turn it off.
