#Malcolm and Marie

[tokyosmono]

Ok, so, I watched the pilot for The Idol against my better judgment after reading the Rolling Stone article about it and reading the poor critic reviews.

It's just as gross and exploitative as people say. I felt physically grossed out by the leering, objectifying gaze of the camera. The Weeknd's alleged behind-the-scenes contributions to the "male perspective" of the show make the scenes between him and Lily Rose-Depp that much more nauseating.

The dialogue between Jocelyn's team the whole first thirty minutes felt like the thinly veiled airing out of Sam Levinson's grievances we got in Malcolm and Marie but put through a "cancel culture/anti-woke" meat grinder. "Mental illness is sexy" and locking an intimacy coordinator in a bathroom came off like Euphoria meta-commentary from Levinson.

I don’t care about nudity in movies/TV if it's done in a way that feels respectful of the actors. But the descriptions of the nudity in this show as "fetishistic" are spot-on. The sex scene at the end of the episode where Jocelyn is being suffocated and he sticks a knife through the silk made me feel weird and uncomfortable. The constant shots up Lily's skirt and in increasingly skimpy outfits for no reason in random scenes felt so on-the-nose for the reaction they're trying to get.

It's not revelatory or exciting. It's just repulsive and relying on shock and outrage for clicks.

Don't waste your time. Don't hate watch. I'm not interested in encouraging a deluded edgelord on a power trip with HBO dollars behind him.

Anyone noticed that Sam Levinson uses movies and shows to voice his own feelings about the criticism towards his works? Like Malcom and Marie had the characters voiced his feelings about the criticisms about the lack of black voices behind the scenes in euphoria. The idol has the characters voiced his feeling about how creepy he is behind the scenes in euphoria and how his creepiness is actually good. They even had the manger locked the guy who wanted the intimacy coordinator in the bathroom because all the characters thought they were stupid and unnecessary. This guy is too much of a coward to talk about this publicly from his own mouth, so he uses movies and shows to voice his opinions.

Malcolm & Marie (2021, Sam Levinson)

08/03/2024

Malcolm & Marie is a 2021 film written and directed by Sam Levinson.

It was the first film to be completed after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

After the preview screening of his latest film as director, Malcolm returns home with his girlfriend Marie; here the two begin to reveal facts to each other that will put their relationship to the test.

The film was shot in secret in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic between June 17 and July 2, 2020 in California, within a single thirty-three-acre property with the approval of the Writers Guild of America, Directors Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild unions.

The black and white film was shot on 35 millimeter film.

The first trailer of the film was released on January 8, 2021.

The film was distributed starting from February 5, 2021 on the Netflix platform, which purchased the rights to the film for thirty million dollars.

On the aggregator Rotten Tomatoes the film receives 57% of positive professional reviews with an average rating of 6.3 out of 10 based based on 245 critics, while on Metacritic it obtains a score of 53 out of 100 based on 42 criticisms.

Charles Bramesco of Little White Lies gave the film a score of 1 out of 5, calling it a "clumsy, horribly over-the-top talkathon"; David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave it a C+; Empire touts the film as a "great sentimental drama"; for BBC.com "Levinson recalls many dramas about bad relationships, such as Scenes from a Marriage, Story of a Marriage and above all Who's Afraid of Virgilia Woolf?, giving a restyling to the genre thanks to the great performances, going as far as including new themes such as racism and Hollywood."
