In this episode, Tyler and David discuss the movies they’ve been watching, including:
BOOM! THE ART OF SELF-DEFENSE CLEO FROM 5 TO 7 LIONS LOVE (…AND LIES) UNCLE YANCO BLACK PANTHERS LA POINTE COURTE LE BONHEUR VAGABOND THE CHAMBERMAID CHILD’S PLAY TOY STORY 4 DIAMANTINO THE QUEEN THE KID WHO WOULD BE KING MARIANNE & LEONARD: WORDS OF LOVE CHARLIE SAYS OVERLORD THE FAREWELL STARFISH
I haven’t seen “Charlie Says” yet, though I am really curious based on the discussions I’ve heard from smart people I respect (besides David, I’m not just blowing smoke). But there seem to be other people who were really not affected by this story (critics, viewers) and I’m wondering if you know why? The lackluster general response feels like a pretty predictable reaction to a popular true crime tale we all know, told from a different (female) perspective, but are there any parts of the film that justify an “unimpressed”/negative reaction? Or do you think people just aren’t really getting what the filmmakers are trying to do?
That’s a good question. Based on the sources I frequent, I had only read positive reviews so I’m surprised to see that so many people didn’t like it. Maybe people are just sick of hearing about Charlie Manson?
Yay, Tyler loved Lions Love too! I’m so glad.
