It’s Timothée Chalamet Week in honor of Marty Supreme and the awards race. The Critics Choice Awards happened last week, so we briefly touched on some of the surprise wins, including Timmy for Best Actor. We also discussed some of the other films we caught up with over the week. Ailish watched the Netflix documentary, The Perfect Neighbor, and Hannah watched Challengers, Uncut Gems, and Bad Guys. It was a great time to talk about Uncut Gems since there have been so many comparisons to what the Safdie Brothers did there and what Josh Safdie did with Marty Supreme. We also talk about the, very disappointing, Stranger Things finale episode and “Conformity Gate”. Is anyone else still holding out hope that a 9th episode will come, or are we just being delusional?
Our theme this week was Timothée Chalamet, so we watched some films where he played smaller roles and his breakout film. We started with Hot Summer Nights which we had both heard of, but didn’t know too much about. Unfortunately, this one wasn’t great even though Timothée did give a good performance. A Rainy Day in New York is one of the most controversial films in Timmy’s filmography because of the allegations against Woody Allen. While this film had some really beautiful settings, the writing fell flat for us and the overall story just didn’t work at all. Bones and All was definitely better compared to the first two we watched. Again, we thought Timothée gave a great performance, but there was something missing for us. The film that made Timothée Chalamet a star is definitively Call Me by Your Name. Ailish had never seen this one before, but this was a rewatch for Hannah. This one blows us away from beginning to end and it’s clear to see that Timmy was a star right from the beginning.
