I review movies over on Letterboxd and Sufficient Velocity.
Well, mine doesn’t, so there you go, I guess. You’ll never see me review a film highly just because it is already well regarded, and I try to make a good case for the ratings that I give. That said, no movie is for everyone, and that tends to be particularly true when it comes to horror.
If it weren’t clear enough why I identify so strongly with Claude already, the lyrics to Manchester repeat: “Claude Hooper Bukowski Finds that it’s groovy To hide in a movie Pretends he’s Fellini And Antonioni And also his countryman Roman Polanski All rolled into one One Claude Hooper Bukowski”
I was also distracted by how much Christopher Lambert looks like Thomas Jane (The Punisher, Deep Blue Sea) in this. They are nearly identical, apart from the tips of their noses, and it’s weird. I love seeing actor doppelgangers like that, especially when they play similar roles like these two guys frequently do.
If you are in a situation where needing to barricade your door to prevent your parent’s entry is a regular occurrence, it is probably time to involve child protective services. You don’t need to give details of your situation to strangers on the internet, but I would highly encourage you to go to a trusted friend or family member’s home and contact the authorities.
