Quintessentially Fine
Look. Listen. Feel.
Intriguingly, the beginning is a loud moment. Perhaps, too loud. Yet, completely acceptable because in complete run time ONE IS PERPLEXED. The montage is two fold. First, the color is pieced together well. Second, moods interlock to make all stable. Looking, listening, and feeling are numb to make the story consistent and jaw-bending. The juxtaposition of color runs deep in the film. From costuming to cinematic touch; the malevolent undertones fit with color. Color coordination suits the morale; dwindled into sight. It's tone is loud, but not dark. In the end; color dominates how the protagonists felt and with regard to death. In the end; the two montages mentally and physically " breathe ". - jacobahlstrand - 14 June 2024
A beautiful and emotional talk of death
This movie was absurd. It was comical. It absolutely made me sob. The pain of loss and the steps we take to avoid it are portrayed beautifully and so is the mercy that comes with death. It was delightfully ridiculous and exceptionally poignant, but it didn't seem overdone. Do we ever find out why death is a parrot? No. Why is Julia Louis-Dreyfus the only non-British person in the whole movie? No clue. But I think the mystery adds to the magic. I think this movie is going to stick with me for a long time. The plot itself was predictable, but the movie wasn't really about the plot. It was the way the story was told.
