Once in a while a movie elevates itself with a perfect finish, with a final unforgettable impression. It can be the difference between going home satisfied and still remembering it years later. The difference between passing joy and lifelong love.
Rules: In no particular order. With few words and No spoilers!
Shows how effective, and playful, symmetry can be in storytelling. After all, nothing makes a relationship look more convincing than me becoming like you and you becoming like me.
There is a parallel between art and love that is seamlessly intertwined in the movie. After all, love is also a journey of discovery. When the film ends, there is a feeling of completeness not just in terms of story but also as a work of art. Rewatching different scenes will only confirm this rare feeling that the writing achieved everything it set out to do. The magic has been transferred.
Shared from the perfect distance. Or rather it becomes the perfect distance - you see, the story doesn’t unravel; Instead it pulls you in close enough to sense the small clues of sadness, so that you start looking at its moments differently …indirect yet precise! A remarkable debut. I will be watching everything made by Charlotte Wells.
From the many heist and con films I love, here is an Argentinian classic. I might have just as well picked a Soderbergh film but talking about Nine queens also helped me find housing in Barcelona :)
It’s probably one of the darkest concepts in the history of film. Perfect execution of the ending, capped with unsurpassed lightness.
Perfect = good scene + right music. I have seen this movie only once, but the final minute found me a hundred times.
The classic! Longest movie on this list, but the ending brings complete satisfaction. Compelling, operatic, memorable, mischievous.
Small is beautiful, mood is everything. This is the soul of the Before trilogy.
When words might not be sufficient, but movies are… It is always satisfying to see an honest payback, whether it’s revenge or gratitude.
How in a single final shot, we feel the full weight of the movie!
Takes us back to the beginning, letting us feel the distance the story has travelled.
