Parasite is fantastic and deserves the win but I get the impression that the academy wanted to break the 'first foreign film to win best picture' thing, and Roma clearly would've done that last year by winning if it wasn't released on Netflix. Roma is outrageously good, and Green Book winning it was someone clearly having a laugh. Not that Parasite wasn't a worthy winner, but Roma deserved the first foreign language best picture much, much more. You only need to look at the failures of films nominated that were released on Netflix to see that there is still beef there.
Just watched Atlantics cuz it was recommended itt.
Meandering drama following typical art film conventions. The most engaging parts are it's personal depiction of unemployment and deprivation in the beginning. But it quickly veers into a cul-de-sac regarding the supernatural and never recovers.
The plot touches on a lot of issues regarding migration without having anything insightful to say.
All in all, I'm guessing the people saying that it was one of the best films of 2019 are die hard lefties.
Swear Cannes is becoming just as political as the Oscars. This was a palme dor nominee. Bonkers.
