“I suppose I'm moved by this absurd performance.”

Wes Anderson films are all, in some fashion, about our search for meaning & connection, and the futility of longing. It’s hard not to be smitten with that, especially as I get older.

“It has the logic of a dream.”

Dignan is hands down one of the best movie characters of all time.

“Ooby Dooby, motherfucker.”

For a serial killer/shark movie hybrid, I sure would’ve liked to see more sharks and serial killing. Turns out this is a final girl movie in disguise, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, except this movie doesn’t have any teeth. 

It wastes its R-rating and great concept with tame execution. It feels very safe compared to Byrne’s previous films, and I never believed that Zephyr has what it takes to survive (even though the movie insists that she does).

Jai Courtney is the film’s saving grace. He is excellent, and I was transfixed every time he appeared on screen.

Wow, that was the worst piece of crap I’ve ever seen

"And what haunts me, is that in all the faces of all the bears that Treadwell ever filmed, I discover no kinship, no understanding, no mercy. I see only the overwhelming indifference of nature."

“Those girls couldn’t drown.”

"In the last analysis, terrorism is an idea generated by capitalism to justify better defense measures to safeguard capitalism." - R.W.F

As someone who was cold on Talk to Me, I thought this was a big step in the right direction for the Philippou brothers.

Two major things that hinder them from reaching that next level of filmmaking are the unclear mechanics of the universe these films take place in and, more importantly, their desire to show the audience cool, gnarly sequences rather than telling complete stories.

The biggest takeaway is what an irable swing Sally Hawkins takes with this performance. She deserves big props for even agreeing to this, and she elevates what could’ve easily been a goofy character.

John Maclean, I will always be in your corner. You too Robbie Ryan.

"Dig holes, fill them up, dig again."

"Everything ends badly, otherwise it wouldn't end."

I'm so sorry you guys can't see the vision.

“We live and die in the shadows, for those we hold close, and for those we never meet.“

Deeply flawed and clearly Reckoning should’ve been one movie, but overall a damn fun time at the movies.
