Honestly gorgeous and great storytelling. Yes, it's not the book, but so what? It's an adaptation! Setting the interview within the pandemic surprised me but I think it works well for the story as well as the re-write of Louis' history. I think it's a nice refresh to the story, breathes new life into the story.

Those saying Anne Rice would be rolling in her grave are being completely disrespectful, it takes seconds on Google to find out that she was actually working on the show and supported it's direction. And even if she wasn't working on it, who are we to decide how she would react to an adaptation of her work?

In the reviews I've read so far on here Jacob Anderson as Louis is not getting enough love. He's brought such beautiful emotion and intensity mixed with stunning subtlety and depth. I'm becoming such a fan of his as an actor. The rest of the cast are great too, they all make a fantastic ensemble together.

I think fans should give the show a try with an open mind and that it's an adaptation, not a direct retelling (which in my opinion would be boring because I've already read the book and would rather be surprised by a story!)

Just a truly beautiful, honest, pure movie. I really sank into it, it everything I needed in an LGBTQ+ film.

I'm sure I'll be talking about it for a long time.

Best movie I've seen in years!
24 May 2022
This movie seemed to hit my specific brand of weird plus sentimental and I enjoyed every single moment of it. I genuinely spent the last almost 20 minutes of the movie crying cause it hit me just right. Genuinely, I've not seen anything this good in years.

Meat's back on the menu!

Warning: Spoilers
A new interesting take on the 'online dating is terrifying' genre.

Not only does it introduce a new thing for daters to be irrationally scared of, but it also gives us the most fun soundtrack cannibalism has ever had!

If you're looking for beautiful meals that are slightly off putting ala Hannibal, and dance routines out of knowhere ala Ex Machina, then this is the film for you.

Also, might consider this a girls night flick thanks to the very satisfying ending.

Bon appetit!

This is the worst movie I've ever seen

There isn't even anything fun here to make it so bad it's good, it's just bad. Just stick to Pacific Rim. And if anyone has a way of wiping movies from the brain, let me know, this is gonna take up valuable movie space for no reason.

I want one of the jumpsuits!
21 March 2021
The main thing I took from this movie was that I want the horrible jumpsuit that they all wear, it's so 80s yet also timeless. The movie was bizarre yet somehow boring. The energy from the cast was as if they were all acting in different movies. The commander was in a Shakespeare play for some reason and all the other men looked exactly the same and I was lost honestly. The only way I could get around this was by giving them all stargate character names since the one guy is called jack O'Neill. It's a good film to make fun of

What just happened?
21 March 2021
Seriously, what happened in this movie? Why did the house have fins? And why was it in the middle of the dessert? Was it deliberate that the husband looked like Luke Skywalker? Why was the son so young compared to the parents? Who's this funky little alien dude? What were all the spaceships about? Why did that dinosaur have so many nipples? Where was he keeping the doll? What happened to the pony? Just... What happened??? There was no plot. Seriously. It was just a series of events that meant nothing and somehow they all ended up in one place at the end! I don't know if I should put a spoiler warning on this because there is nothing to spoil??
