They talked Leo around 43:00

So I watched MAESTRO.... and I'm torned. I kinda liked it... and not. I think the performances are great. Still lots and lots of talking and even more smoking and miserable people 🤪 I don't understand the title of the movie because Bernsteins work is the last thing this movie cared about. It was all about his troubled marriage and his cheating.

 

Wished Matt Bomer had a bigger role actually. The chemistry between him and Cooper is mesmerizing :heart:

Same for him and Carey Mulligan 🤍

The older make up is oscar worthy though.

I also kinda agree with this. Nor he, his performance or the movie deserved such backlash.

I watched this movie too and I found Bradley's acting over the top, honestly. It seemed to me he was everytime trying to prove he was larger than life, just my 2 cents. Don't get me wrong, he wasn't bad in my opinion at all, just...overacting maybe. Carey was amazing though, she was great in my opinion, the movie was ok for me. But I obviously don't agree with all the backlash.

^I agree. I normally like Bradley in most of his roles but here I don't know. It felt so forced/over the top and the character felt artificial somehow. I did not connect to the characters and the movie was just meh for me. It had some good parts though.

 

Sadly Leo is missing at several  critics nominations now. Let's hope he'll be included at the SAG awards and the Oscars.

Cool to see Lily included in the new THR roundtable. I have a feeling Leo didn't want to do any of those. I hope in the future (for his next roles) he will do more campaigning.

The 25 Best Movies of 2023

The best movies of 2023 took us into the unknown.

15. “Killers of the Flower Moon” (dir. Martin Scorsese)

Martin Scorsese may like to think of “Killers of the Flower Moon” as the Western that he always wanted to make, but this frequently spectacular American epic about the genocidal conspiracy that was visited upon the Osage Nation during the 1920s is more potent and self-possessed when it sticks a finger in one of the other genres that bubble up to the surface over the course of its three-and-a-half-hour runtime.

 

The first and most obvious of those is a gangster drama in the grand tradition of the director’s previous work; just when it seemed like “The Irishman” might’ve been Scorsese’s final word on his signature genre, they’ve pulled him back in for another movie full of brutal killings, bitter voiceovers, and biting conclusions about the corruptive spirit of American capitalism. But if the “Reign of Terror” sometimes proves to be an uncomfortably vast backdrop for Scorsese’s  more intimate brand of crime saga, “Killers of the Flower Moon” excels as a compellingly multi-faceted character study about the men behind the massacre. Over time, it becomes the most interesting of the many different movies that comprise it: A twisted love story about the marriage between an Osage woman (the indomitable Lily Gladstone) and the white man who — unbeknownst to her — helped murder her entire family so that he could inherit the headrights for their oil fortune (Leonardo DiCaprio, giving the best performance of his career as the dumbest and most vile character he’s ever played). 

 

Finding the right balance in this story is a challenge for a filmmaker as gifted and operatic as Scorsese, whose ability to tell any story rubs up against his ultimate admission that this might not be his story to tell. And so, for better or worse, Scorsese turns “Killers of the Flower Moon” into the kind of story that he can still tell better than anyone else: A story about greed, corruption, and the mottled soul of a country that was born from the belief that it belonged to anyone callous enough to take it.

Robert Eggers’ 10 Best Films of 2023

I always look forward to IndieWire’s annual polling where directors choose their best films of the year.

This year, 37 filmmakers participated, and they include the likes of Sean Baker, Kitty Green, Ira Sachs, David Lowery, Andrew Haigh, Paul Schrader and Daniel Scheinert.

“Killers of the Flower Moon” (Martin Scorsese) — A Scorsese epic at the height of his powers. The scale, richness, and depth of the world were truly inspiring and exceeded high expectations. The cast and casting were immaculate. Lily Gladstone and Ty Mitchell were particular standouts. The story is unflinching and shocking.
