movies: the Holdovers, Lil Nas X
Apr. 6th, 2024 12:32 amThe Holdovers
As this began I was like, OMG was this shot on FILM? It's so beautiful!
Turns out it was shot on digital but made to look like old film, warm and colorful.
This is a quiet film about lonely and grieving people spending a few weeks together in 1970 at a boarding school--they "hold over" during winter break when most of the people leave. I really enjoyed it. Well written and acted characters, and it's about connection and platonic relationships. A little too long at 2 hours 13 minutes.
I watched a documentary about Lil Nas X's first tour, Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero which was fairly light, fun, non-demanding viewing. I think he is wonderful!! I really appreciated hearing him talk about his relationships with his family, his love for his backup dancers, seeing the fun outfits, hearing from fans. Hearing him talk about other Black queer artists was moving. This does contain vomiting and flashing lights at concerts.
He's only about 24 or 25, and got famous early. When he talked about stuff that happened in 2019 it felt so long ago.
