Cat Person the new yorker - บันเทิง
Remember kids, don't play with embalmed hands for social media clout!
Which movies are you most excited for?
Definitely Theatre Camp, Talk to Me, and The Eight Mountains.
after hearing you talk about past lives I'm so excited to see it!
Howdy Amanda!
Shortcomings, Talk to Me and You Hurt My Feelings are the top ones, but I want to check out most of these.
Talk to me…. Did she mention when this one was coming out? Did I miss that lol you hurt my feelings and rye lane and theater camp lol
I can't wait to check out these films, Amanda, thanks to your concise summary. I never realised that "Thomasin McKenzie becomes obsessed with a Hot Blonde" was a whole new subgenre until now! 😂
She’s a blonde herself now actually
🥔
@@tesstucker3311 Congratulations on finding me again, Tess! 😉🥔
I always watch at least one of the movies in these Sundance videos, you always present them in such an interesting way while still being fair to their flaws.
Appreciate it! There's some real gems this year for all sorts of movie fans so I hope you catch a handful
Amanda's enthusiasm reminds me that as fun as it is to hear people joke on crummy movies, it's not only better when that person is genuinely passionate about films in general but hearing them talk about stuff they like is even better. Glad you had fun, and appreciate the insight.
Your "no spoilers" review style is genuinely great.
I look forward to these sorts of rundowns.
As a former theatre kid, I am adding theater camp to my to watch list asap!!
3:52 I was an extra on The Starling Girl! Super fun shoot, and I got to meet some very cool people. I sat next to Lewis Pullman in the youth group scene, awesome guy :)
aww nice!
Finally saw infinity pool and I loved it, I feel people are going to start saying Mia goth is overrated because of her current popularity but she is truly worth the hype. Another incredible performance from her and my personal favourite.
Joyland was hands down one of the best movies I saw last year. It was melancholic yet at the same time heartwarming.
What I love about these videos is that I always come away with a good few movies to look out for but this time I come away with 2 must watch. Fantastic.
I only meant to see Cat Person but then my situation got messed up and I ended up seeing Past Lives instead. And…you know maybe fate DOES exist.
I've been a huge fan of the RACKA RACKA youtube channel since I was in middle school, hearing this is some of the best news I've got so far this years. I'll be waiting eagerly to watch this movie
I'm really happy this year has started off strong! Can't wait for Past Lives and Talk To Me looks like a new kind of horror. 🙂
Didn't Persion Version shock everyone by getting the Best Picture nomination?
Hi Amanda! I was stuck in the Eileen Eccles black box purgatory with you. Just wanted to say loved your recap and had fun chatting.
Your videos are always a joy to watch and so comprehensive!
I went to Sundance in person (and spotted you in the audience at Landscape for Invisible Hand 😅). Talk to Me absolutely wrecked me in the best way possible, and Theater Camp spoke to me in a way my teenage self found deeply uncomfortable, but Past Lives was my fav of the festival!
As a Utahn, it is weird to hear someone like Amanda say the name "Eccles" 😄
Every one of these festival reviews makes me miss my job at the cinema. Just being around all that movie magic makes me happy.
I really appreciate you, Amanda. Thanks to you, I can know what movies are great to watch since I don't really keep up with film festivals 👏🏻😊
Aw dang, Past Lives sounds so good already. I'm going to cry, aren't I?
i get so many fun recommendations from you. you give the best descriptions !!!
Love the Sundance videos!
Hope you enjoy!
Probably one of the best Sundance summaries you ever did, really excited for a bunch of them!
You’re such a cultured and well learnt person about movies. Watching your videos is like going to q “Movie and Interpretation and Context” class. I love to watch you coming from these exhibitions cause it just makes me feel like I’m there and also with a genius friend well versed ahoit cinematography. Thanks friend.
I loved the eight mountains and I'm so happy that you mentioned this movie! A truly beautiful, touching depiction of two friends who grow up, grow apart and trying to find a way back to each other after such a long time. Stunning cinematography and a perfect soundtrack - can't recommend it enough!
A new Amanda video! Best Valentines gift ❤️ (I'm in the UK!)
AHHHH you got me SO JAZZED for these new movies!!!!!!
I look forward to these videos every year!
I love your sundance recaps, I always have a shit tonne of good movies to add to my to watch list!
Oh I need to read Landscape with Invisible Hand! I absolutely loved M.T. Anderson's novel Feed.
Cool video. Might check those film. I like your review on TH-cam and letterboxd.
This video is how I'm finding out my favorite comic artist had one of his works adapted into film. I screamed when I saw Shortcomings and my husband thought I got hurt.
Loved The Eight Mountains. Along with RRR, it’s one of the best bromances I’ve seen recently. The 4:3 format manages to capture both the beauty of the vast landscapes and the intimacy between the two actors. Also, the movie has been a surprise box office hit in Italy, 5 million €, mainly by word of mouth.
I'm so glad Adrian Tomine is getting some notice with Shortcomings. I really enjoyed his Killing and Dying, and The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Cartoonist.
I really looking forward to see THEATER CAMP!! 🎭🤗
Yo I went this year too! I really like The Starling Girl, Mami Wata, and The Polite Society!
Totally understand the car troubles, we totally crashed in the snow 😂
as an introvert. just leave me alone. that sometimes i think of dying movie is problematic. like if you are an introvert you need to be fixed and need a hero (a man) to rescue you and 'bring you out of your shell'. like naw brah. we just want to be left alone. and we for sure want to end the stigma of being an introvert. there is nothing wrong with us. we dont enjoy human interactions like extroverts do. we dont need help or fixing. i got my wife, like 1 friend my cats and dog. i'm good. you want to explore that we want to interact and are all just socially awkward. no. that perpetuates that we need fixed. i used to think that way. i forced myself into horrible social outings to try to meet people and blah blah. i hated it. all cuz i thought i was broken. i'm not. i'm just fine and perfectly happy with the way i am. so ya, that movie..booo
“Talk to me”-
Bumble ad: “It was really good to just talk to someone”
Can’t wait til some of these get distribution and I can catch em in the future!
I'm so excited to see a lot of these movies!
I'm excited to see Fair Play because Alden Ehrenreich has been fantastic in every thing I've ever seen him in.
Wow! Think this might be the most promising list I've seen in a minute!
I enjoy that you're like me, Amanda. You can laugh about a crazy road trip situation. Like, I've had to tie one of my doors back shut before while driving, and I just laughed. Passengers had to be laced into the front seat with rope linking the two door handles together. What else can you do but laugh and be happy the car made it this far. I grew up in a recession lmao
I'm seeing past lives tomorrow, looking forward to it!
Thrilled you finally caught Joyland!
I've grown up going to Park City every year with my family, always just missing Sundance (or not being old enough) maybe some day I'll finally go at the right time. But I love the mention of Dolly's. Hope you met a friendly kitty.
I can't wait to see what the rackaracka guys did!
“The scariest thing was that run time” DAMNNNN
If there's a new horror movie out, I'm there! Especially if it tries something new and different.
I mean... last time my bones kept hurting after over a week of an incident, I had a fissure and had to wear a cast for like 3 weeks or something. Go get that ribcage checked girlie
Rye Lane is shot around some of my favourite old haunts in South London - including the little italian restaurant where I celebrated my engagement! So, so cool to see the area having a light shone on it that isn't solely focused on the crime and poverty of the black neighbourhoods, or the quirky white gentrified neighbourhoods in the area
Fun fact: Theatre Camp was filmed in my hometown. I toured the space in hopes of possibly producing a play there and saw the AdirondACTS sign all set up. It was great🤣🙌
Aye, we live in the same town then. I actually was a production assistant on it :)
Ahhhhh I had no idea an adaptation of Eileen was coming out!!!
Amanda's pain at the length of that onyx movie lmao
Going off the deep end in the 3rd act seems to be the theme of this years Sundance 😂
As a Filipino film buff, I'm excited for In My Mother's Skin.
Polite Society also features Nimra Bucha from Ms. Marvel (though I really hope she doesn't get typecast as Evil Momma in the future!!)
This is making going to sundance a life goal omg
Theater camp is the only one that I’ve seen we watched it because me and my friend have an obsession with Ben Platt and we saw it with a small group and we all were just laughing at every moment of it and really loved the absurdity of it.
'Eccles basement waitlist theater dungeon' sounds like a crazy location
I’m still so excited for Ben Wishaw’s limonov movie.
any word on when is talk to me is going to have a wide release (if it will), or stream?
Aw what the Racka Racka dudes got picked up? Man it’s been a while since i’ve seen their work good for them
Rye Lane is getting its UK festival premiere at the Manchester Film Festival in March, I saw it on the webpage and immediately booked a ticket for the screening/Q&A, I'm really looking forward to it!!
Hope you enjoy we all really loved it!
Glad you got to experience the basement dungeon of my high school theatre
I love that JGL was wearing a mask!
Sad to hear that bad behaviour wasn't fantastic because I really like Alice Englert (Jane Campion's daughter) as an actress as she picks really good projects to be a part of. So I was hoping her work behind the camera would be just as good
I know at least one person who really vibed with it so you might have a different experience!
@@AmandaTheJedi fingers crossed. I'll still give it a go cause I've been a fan of hers since watching "in fear" back in 2013
@AmandaTheJedi PLEEEEEEEEEAAASE do a Talk to Me video - it’s FINALLY just come out in UK and would LOVE to hear your full thoughts!…
haven't seen the vid yet but man I hope eileen will be good I'm so excited for it
It's wild and certainly something I'd consider unique! Immediately went to buy the book the next day
A failed shop was a combination cosplay workshop (essentially a thai outlet of knock-off goods) and a child care for the moms that would leave their kids to go to the other outlet mall shops.
Had the usual mtg and 5e folks being the predictable stereotype. With a big twist that the childcare side of the business shifted to autistic specialists which meant that all the kids up through delayed adults blocked out all available tables.
They also ran adventure league but all 5 tables were dm'ed by the aforementioned autistic students.
Power outage in my neighborhood 15 minutes ago, will take an hour to turn back on.
You know, I find it so funny that Amanda's video on splice stuck to her brand that I have it recommended to me on this video.
I wish there were timestamps or chapter titles or something for each film. I'll hear you talk about a film and think "That's cool I wanna add it to my watchlist," but then I've already forgotten the name of it 😅
Edit: Maybe it would be easier to just keep the film titles on-screen actually while discussing them.
Check the description
@@alannahd.7417 Brother, those titles are in a completely different order than how they are discussed in the video. That doesn't help much when I need to know which title Amanda mentioned like 30 seconds ago as I'm watching the video.
This is just constructive criticism btw, it's not like I'm too lazy to rewind the video when I need to.
So are all these movies coming out this year?, Also thank you for saying which ones are interesting to watch
Depends on the movie, a lot of my favorites got distributors so they should be out at some point this year. Some are coming out super soon (like Rye Lane in March)
I tried watching infinity pool 3 times and fell asleep eveerytime
Can’t wait for talk to me
New Amanda drop lets gooo!
0:06 / 2:32
Onyx The Fortuitous and The Talisman of Souls, as you semi said, was made for the fans and funded by the fans. Andrew Bowser understands his audience, and so there are many details within the movie that most "normal" people wont pick up on. I hope more people will at least give the movie a chance with the knowledge that its a comedy above all else. So embrace the absurdity. My opinion is that the best indie films lean into their own absurdity instead of not going all in on the world they were initially trying to build.
Wooo movies!!!
WOO
When are the Terrifier reviews coming 👀
Amanda explains how a movie has uncomfortable scenes involving s.a.
Amanda then goes on to have to explain that the movie ISN'T EROTIC
So, “Magazine Dreams” means cover page pictorials as well as suicidal ideation simultaneously!!!
I was SO excited for Bad Behavior (watched online) and was so disappointed, unfortunately. I felt like every scene was a half-finished thought and they didn't thread together which can work in some cases but didn't work for me here.
WHAT? I missed an MT Anderson book
I would absolutely contribute if Amanda crowdfunded a movie, ngl
Eileen is a very strange book. She's an odd duck. It's something you have to experience, not that it'll make much sense once you do.
joseph gordon levitt wearing a mask in those interviews made my heart sing as someone who still wears a mask every day 😭😍
bruh
@@CaatsGoMoooo yeah?
always the dog why the dog man
I like your channel
Fair Play produced by Rian Johnson?? Huh that's cool
Now that you've made it big with your 10 million subscribers Amanda my love will you be my potato Queen we will use the power of your loyal subs and simps to conquer Prince Edward island
I am still trying to figure out how people make these movies without anybody watching them, unless it's some other kind of way to do it. I see $20 per movie, but damn, that means you spent almost $800.
I read Landscape with Invisible Hand when it came out in 2017, and kind of hated it lol. I’m surprised they turned it into a movie. I remember mostly being horrified by the amount of diarrhea the main character had, and confused about the economic explanation of why the introduction of superior new technology meant that humanity stopped using our old water purification methods.
I came here hoping to hear from Onyx oh nooo
i really liked fair play was sad many thought it was bad :(
Can someone answer if Birth/Rebirth is foreign?
Absolutely not on the topic of abrupt genre shifts, if you've never seen The World's End and know nothing about it, then you should watch it without even reading the description of the movie. It's a British comedy about a bar crawl and that's all it is. Nothing else happens. You can trust me on this. I recommend you give it at least 45 minutes if you find yourself getting bored the way I did, because it really picks up around that time
Movies need to learn that they can be 70-90 minutes
joylaaaaannnddddd
Uh, happy Valentine’s Day?
Anything with Tiffany Haddish in it is a hard pass.
A lot of these look really interesting and I can't wait to see them.
