    It's really Carpenter + Spielberg. The atmosphere in the first half is well controlled, and the climax is also well designed. If it is released after Stranger Things starts, it is estimated that it will be even more...

    The rhythm is weird. The story is extremely simple, the emotional portrayal is in place, and that's it. The director's personality is so charming. A real director spends his entire life making the same story. Michael fucking Shannon deserves another oscar...

    The story is actually very simple, but the effect of the film is to firmly grasp the introduction of suspense and sci-fi, and vividly portray the father-son relationship! I didn't sleep well at first, but I was woken up by the escape on the highway when the lights were turned off at the beginning,...

    All of Nichols's films are like those from the 70s. They tell the same theme in a calm and warm manner: one family, one world. Moreover, it gave the audience full trust, left the biggest imagination space, and stopped everything (just like his imagination of the unknown world and power, this time the religious elements are very strong). Escape from the Texas Highway to Louisiana, the scenery in the south is vast and mysterious, making it reluctant to...

    You don't like such a warm and suspenseful, simple and profound film, and you don't understand it. . ....

    Edgerton's policeman is the mainstay of the film. For the sake of faith and loyalty, he was born to death, an ideal man of southern Americans. The so-called faith is the firm belief that there is a power and order higher than the world in front of you, no matter what it is, life and death are based on it, and the foundation of faith is miracles and moving, not knowledge. Therefore, movies have become necessary, not only telling stories, but also for believing people. To be a plow is a testimony...

    Top ten of the year. Sometimes it’s not about how good this film is, but how much there is. Nichols succeeded in mastering the most challenging and dangerous subject matter for him. At this rhythm, Cannes's "Love" basically doesn't have to worry...

    In fact, it is the same thing as Nolan's "Interstellar", except that Nolan weaves a complex "hard science fiction logic" in order to be "believable" and sets himself in. This director is obviously more literary and more confident. I'm going to link science fiction and parent-child themes together, and you care about me. "You don't have to worry about me anymore" "I like to worry about you" makes people cry. The most beautiful picture of 2016 is in...

    The best science fiction in the first half of the year! Spielberg and Carpenter have successors. Jeff Nichols’s unique, calm and warm narrative has an amazing sense of restraint in the master’s prototype, giving new breakthroughs in the field of road movies, symbolizing symbols, and ethereal mood. , Suspense setting, climax design, atmosphere control, emotional depiction, comparable to the shock sensitivity at the end of the third type of contact with time and space contact, the audience has...

    There are a bunch of walking human-shaped street lights that everyone thinks it is a science fiction movie? Go to your mother's pretending to force family affection, art and art road god stick...
