the way sinners scooped up so many awards across the past few award ceremonies had me IMMEDIATELY buying a ticket to see it again in theaters this week!! the other best picture noms could simply never make me want to rewatch them like that film!! the MUSIC!! the ACTING!! the TENSION!! the SUSPENSE!! the CINEMATOGRAPHY!!
#sinners#some of the best picture noms were seen at TIFF#almost all have been seen in theaters (barring a couple of notable exceptions)#and sinners my baby my beloved i’ve been rooting for you for ELEVEN GODDAMN MONTHS#TAKE IT ALL#BEST FILM#BEST LEADING ACTOR#BEST SCRIPT#BEST DIRECTOR#BEST SCORE#BEST. FUCKING. SCORE.#(idc if it’s delusional that film is a fucking masterpiece)#the big tea with mellie is that i’m like#sub-15 films to having seen EVERY. ONE. of the oscar nominees#but anyway as a result of having seen them all#i stand by sinners being my top film of most of the categories#one of the animated films is in my top five and one of the strictly intl ones is too#i’ll also note that this year had a TON of tough movies to watch#like not one of those documentaries was lighthearted#and that’s fine!#but they were also some really tough watches#which in many ways made them hard for me to rank in my top five#not because i think movies should transcend reality and make me forget what’s going on in the world—they’re quite obviously crucial for that#but because there has been. so much. so much shittiness happening in the world.#that i’ve needed things that spoke to the capacity of movies to push people towards creation over ones that necessarily move people to tears#(both are good! but my preference has been the former)#anyway this has been my tiny sinners pitch if you and yours are bored go see it in theaters while you can!!!#anyway double feature with mellie time on friday who’s with me#movie time with mellie#mellie memos
