positive · AI labelView post →I only watched half the movie last night but The Lost Bus was infuriating to watch. Climate change is horrific for people we have to regulate these corporations fucking hell what the fuck.
negative · AI labelView post →Still thinking about the guy in front of me at THE LOST BUS a couple of nights ago, texting his wife as the lights went down, typing “about to see a movie with Matthew” and then hesitating for a long time before hurriedly adding “Mackanocky.”

neutral · AI labelView post →He made one this year! Paul Greengrass's THE LOST BUS is a very good movie, and McConaughey is great in it. Start watching new movies again, and you'll find great actors doing great things in films that aren't dad-snoozing-on-the-couch mainstays.

positive · AI labelView post →Apple TV is another streaming channel worth a once a year free trial to drain whatever's new and good out of it; The Lost Bus is a Paul Greengrass recreation of real life heroics that's based on a true story, but with characters far too blandly drawn to excite. 3/5 film-authority.com/2025/12/19/t...

neutral · AI labelView post →In terms of natural disaster movies, The Lost Bus is a keeper. It helps that the events depicted in the film are true. And fire is transformed into its own character, one that is terrifyingly chaotic in its quest to consume. The Lost Bus tells the tale of reluctant heroes who... #FilmSky 📽
positive · AI labelView post →Very proud of the interview I wrapped with Paul Greengrass on THE LOST BUS, & the piece I wrote for TIME.

neutral · AI labelView post →Biggest shock of the Oscars: discovering that The Lost Bus is a real film and not a poster hanging in the background as a joke in an episode of The Studio.
neutral · AI labelView post →So maybe THE LOST BUS was the wrong film to watch for a laid back evening. Unlike most reviewers, I actually welcomed the hackneyed soap opera interludes because it meant a break from chewing my fingernails as Matthew McConaughey drove a busful of screaming children through a blazing inferno oh god.
positive · AI labelView post →We watched ‘The Lost Bus’ about California’s deadliest wildfire, the Paradise Fire, tonight. Matthew McConaughey did an excellent job portraying school bus driver Kevin McKay. a powerful, gripping, and very emotional movie.
positive · AI labelView post →I’m way behind sharing my TIFF coverage so apologies in advance for the deluge. Paul Greengrass’s THE LOST BUS is extremely entertaining, which is kind of the problem. It far too often borders on being a Disney amusement park ride.
neutral · AI labelView post →So, The Lost Bus in AppleTV is easily the best movie I've seen in a long time. It is action packed from the opening credits until the last scene. It's about the fire in Paradise, CA in 2018 and a bus driver who saves a bus full of kids from the fire.
positive · AI labelView post →Watched the McConaughey movie "The Lost Bus". Apple's publicity made it look like a VHS. Holy crap! NO! McConaughey is a bus driver in the Paradise, California wildfires and it's GIGANTIC. I don’t even know how Paul Greengrass made a lot of it. VFX are gigantic, virtually flawless. #3 for 2025.
positive · AI labelView post →Paul Greengrass' "The Lost Bus" is an amazing film that begs to be watched in theaters. Its run time just flew by, the cinematography is gorgeous and the story is incredibly gripping. Don't sleep on it. Here is my tribute poster. #thelostbus #filmsky #moviesky #posterart #keyart
positive · AI labelView post →Folding Tees watching a film (The Lost Bus). Hope it’s a peaceful chill day for everyone. 🤟
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched THE LOST BUS (2025) There's a jarring moment in the film where Matthew McConaughey tells us that he's 44 years old. As we know, Matt is closer to 60 than he is 40 so it immediately took me out of the film - especially as there's no need for him to be specific about his age.
negative · AI labelView post →The Lost Bus was a thrill ride. I have never seen a movie make a forest fire look so realistic. You could feel the heat and smoke coming through your screen. America Ferrera and Mathew McConaughey is a pairing I didn't know I needed. Go watch it if you're a fan of disaster flicks!

neutral · AI labelView post →On the contrary, fire effects can look very realistic if done well. Compare THE LOST BUS to actual footage of 2018’s Camp Fire that destroyed Paradise, CA. They nailed the look perfectly in the movie. It just takes a lot of time and work and people who care to do it right.

neutral · AI labelView post →Trying to sit through The Lost Bus. This should’ve been a Clint Eastwood movie. Clint in his school bus driving the school kids through a fire. But instead it’s Matthew McConaughey being miserable because his dad is dead, he had to put his dog to sleep and his kid is sick and hates him.

positive · AI labelView post →The Lost Bus was the most stressful film I’ve seen in sometime since Uncut Gems. And being based on a true story of a tragic event made it scarier. This film wouldn’t have hit the same on streaming. I enjoyed it a lot! #filmsky #promosky
positive · AI labelView post →Streaming on Apple TV+ tomorrow, THE LOST BUS is a solid-enough tale of real-life rescue — elevated more by its elite visual effects than eh-so-so interpersonal dramas with Matthew McConaughey or America Ferrera.
