Title says it all. I believe it is the best moive ever made. I said it when I was 8 in 1976 and I say it now at 53 in 2022. The beauty, sadness, risk and triumph shown are surpassed by no film. The boxing takes a back seat to the love story between Rocky and Adrian. "I'm gonna kiss ya.... you don't have to kiss me back if you don't wanna but I'm gonna kiss ya". Absolutely perfect in every way. I also cannot stress how important Bill Conti's score is to this movie. It wouldn't work without it. Philadelphia Morning is one of the most beautifully sad songs ever written. Great script plus great production makes it the only 10 star review I will give.
I can't back this movie at all. Saw it in the theater and watched it twice more since then. Horribly paced movie with hard to follow dialog. No character really speaks to you. It's all "Is She or Isn't She" which bored me rather quickly. I wish I did get it but I don't. Ari Aster it is not.
I found the premise of this interesting enough to watch without looking at the reviews. Glad I did. This movie has a lot going for it. The sense of isolation is everywhere. The landscape almost becomes another character. The performances while limited to a few roles are very well done. There is something about this movie. Very hard to put my finger in but it works. Also hard to classify what genre it fits in. Much much better than a lot of fodder out there.
