KOASD Destroyer BTR The Beguiled The Northman Lion worst The Prom, 9PS I think I am going to rewatch the killing of a sacred deer on Halloween this year, since it's a slow burning horror movie and a very effective one. I'm glad it's aging well with general audience! |

Apparently I'm not the only one who think that the prom and 9 perfect strangers were a total waste of time. They took a lot of time and investment, while the result was merely average.

I though it was The Goldfinch.. Hahaha you're not wrong about the goldfinch but her role was smaller and I personally enjoyed it more than the prom and 9 perfect strangers. At least it has some very good cinematography, decent child actors and a somewhat elegant performance by Kidman (despite the distracting make up later in the movie). The movie lost it's charm in the second half with the adult version of the characters. |

I liked the goldfinch, don't care what critics say but thought it was a decent film and Kidman brought what was asked of her for the role.
What i use as a barometer for deciding whether a project is worthy or not, is I simply ask myself will I revisit this film/tv show in the near future?
if the answer is no, then it automatically goes into my waste pile.

I have to agree with you on that, i remember i saw the movie in Theater back in 2019 and i remember that it was totally fine, i should rewatch it. i might been a little harsh by putting it with 9 perfect strangers and the prom. I guess everyone had high expectations because of the talents involved; in front and behind the camera (the director of brooklyn) and the movie turned out to be ok. |

it's pointlessly fine and pretty and blank. this was my problem exactly. waste of time.
we've to admit The Prom landed young fans and LGBTQ fans, and Aquaman did even more with next generation.
I know I shouldn't see things utilitarianly like dat, but our girl is not young anymore, so I force myself to think like one of the gate's team members sometimes.
