“Ramona is warm, vain, ruthless and unpredictable, and Lopez gathers her contradictions into an incandescent one-woman spectacle. Lopez, a pop-culture legend in her own right, doesn’t so much peel away the layers of her stardom as repurpose them, channeling her exuberant physicality and her quick-witted self-assurance into a performance that is finely calibrated in its realism and brazen in its theatrics. You need made-up adjectives to convey the fusion of craft, nerve and energy that she pulls off: She’s Denzelian, Pacinoesque, downright Anna-Magnanimous.” - NYTimes

Seeing it tomorrow, quite excited from the buzz around it

I saw it last night and LOVED it. The critics, especially the New York Times, which compared Ms. López to Denzel and Al Pacino were 100% correct. Most of you do not possess the vernacular required to understand the depth and realism that Ms. López gave to Ramona. Pero like, guao pao, what a moment.

I saw The Nightingale last week and loved it. It is very violent but all the talks of them having a therapist outside the door was a bit much. I only wish they'd done something more or less with the ending.

I might go see Hustlers next week.

ITA re: The Nightingale!

[Spoiler (click to open)]My personal wish is that they would have gone harder on those two assholes. If anyone deserved to suffer, it was the two of them and I feel like of all the people who died, they might have suffered the least behind their original guide.

Either that, or have it end after she confronted him in the tavern and made him lose his placment for good. He wasn't going to jail for what he did but she took one of the few things he wanted away. It's like they tried to split the difference and the ending felt muffled because of it.

oh man i saw the trailer and then read some letterboxd reviews and apparently there's a lot of rape scenes..like a lot (in one review i read someone in a screening audience shouted "enough! she's already been raped!") eugh...

[scriptedending]

Gonna go see Hustlers tomorrow night! I've heard lots of good things, but I'd still be surprised it if it beats out IT.

saw @HustlersMovie tonight with @jenstatsky, and right before we walked in I said “J Lo, take us away” and for one hour & 50 minutes she did just that. Jennifer Lopez is the king.
