Best Picture Tweets

One week away until the Oscars. So I thought I'd look back to see what my first impressions were of the Best Picture nominess this year via my twitter reactions after seeing the films. It's clear which films I immediately loved and which films I didn't have much to say about. So in the order of when I saw the movies/tweeted about them...

GET OUT is nuts you guys. And I think m seeing it in a theater with lots of people certainly added to the experience.

DUNKIRK was a thrill. Was on edge throughout. So visceral by design. Must see on the biggest, loudest screen.

LADY BIRD is exquisite. A must watch for all. Gerwig, Ronan, and Metcalf astound.

Wasn't sold on Lucas Hedges last year but love his lived-in and quiet turns in two of this year's best films, Lady Bird & Three Billboards.

CALL ME BY YOUR NAME is fantastic. Chamalet is so SO GOOD. Stuhlbarg's final speech is everything.

I've just seen Gary Oldman in Darkest Hour. He's excellent. That said... these two were better. https://t.co/YOtbrgZtsJ

As for the two other films I saw yesterday, I saw The Disaster Artist and The Shape of Water. Both VERY different and both VERY VERY good. There were certain elements in both that truly pleasantly surprised me.

THE POST is kind of exquisite. I know it's "baity," but it's so timely it hurts. And Streep is so damn good in it regardless and seeing ALL of the TV faces made me really happy.

PHANTOM THREAD was both exactly what I thought it'd be and nothing at all like I imagined. I don't know how. DDL and Krieps are great but my nation to Lesley Manville's razor sharp performance.

The Academy Awards are next week on ABC.
