neutral · AI labelView post →Trailers (came in late): Clayface, Wild Horse Nine Good thing this isn't a movie where the dialogue is hugely important a lot of the time, as I'd say my rate of understanding Abrams with a respirator in his mouth was about 1 in 3.
neutral · AI labelView post →Believe all you’ve heard about WILD HORSE NINE. Once again, Martin McDonagh delivers a film that is uproariously funny and deeply sad, with fantastic performances all around. It’s also very timely, politically speaking. Opens next week!

neutral · AI labelView post →WILD HORSE NINE - McDonagh’s first “pretty good!” movie. Not up there with BRUGES/INISHERIN, not down there with PSYCHOPATHS/BILLBOARDS. A good time at the movies. Malkovich and Rockwell just knocking down three-pointers like nobody’s business.

Not only does it feel like a thematic step forward from his previous film, but it’s also wonderfully performed and endlessly contemplative and thought-provoking.” READ Our Movie Review @ Cinefied: www.cinefied.com/post/wild-ho...

positive · AI labelView post →The math of WILD HORSE NINE asks you to subtract one already made movie where Malkovich plays a memoir-writing CIA agent, divide that by the two McDonagh films also involving a pair of bickering frenemies, and add one Easter Island scene-setter. It evens out. www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/film...

Was half expecting a Wild Horse Nine trailer.
