Beau is afraid was a cinema experience i will never forget
Ikr, so surreal to see in theaters alone too. Underrated considering the amount of people that don't like it.
Best sleep I ever got in a theater
@@ELTIGERBLOOD damn that sucks for you
@@ELTIGERBLOOD I'm pretty sure they did a psychiatric study on audience participants and determined that that means you're psychologically deranged.
Still very much hung up on it
Barry deserves so much more recognition then it has gotten, I'm not afraid to say that it's one of the best tv shows ever made.
yes
No, it sucks
Same here. The acting is top-notch.
Completely agree. Best series right now

I love The Hunt! Mads Mikkelsen blew me away with his performance, especially in that church scene.
Great movie. Hope you watched it in danish
Absolutely incredible film indeed
The Hunt is such a fantastic film, watched it years ago when it came out and it stayed with me ever since, especially that final scene.
This April was the first month I watched a film everyday. That makes me happy.
That’s amazing! What movies did you watch? I‘ve always wanted to watch a movie everyday but I never manage.
@@mariam19554 a mix of random action, dramas, and Italian horror films. The highlights however were the fact that I watched Jackie Chan's Police Story and Scorsese's Goodfellas for the first time.
I really wanna see Beau is Afraid…but I already know it’ll throw me in for a loop like Midsommar did💀
Watch it. It's so good!
It’s so different but still sooooo fucked.
@@jeremyusreevu237 I should be able to catch in cinemas today or tomorrow!
@@skyblaster2366 based on Joaquin Phoenix’s PSA to not take mushrooms before I watch…I can only imagine 😅
@@JordanNMovies i saw it with my mom and oh my god i should have seen evil dead instead
Can’t wait for your 1 hour video on Succession.
The Hunt is absolutely Mads Mikkelsen's best movie. He is so fantastic in that movie!
The wolf house is so good. The asmr like audio is really chilling especially when it's paid with it's visuals
i love these videos and i feel like i use them as a marker of time because it throws me off with how quickly a month will go by when i see a new one has been uploaded
I loved Another Round. The ending had me sobbing with the 👓+🌹 scene. It’s definitely one of my faves. I’ve been putting off Mads’s The Hunt & Charlie countryman movies but I’ll eventually get to them. I’ve seen too many tiktoks of hos characters to not watch them
showing up was my first reichardt movie and i’m happy to say it DID win me over and is currently my favorite movie of the year so far!!!

Thank you another monthly review Karsten. Very appreciated. You're the best.
The Wolf House is sooo underrated. It's gorgeous but the story is so sad.
one of the most unsettling films ive ever seen
i always look forward to this every month
I don't know if i'm crazy but I already saw beau is afraid twice in theaters and I'm genuinely considering a third time
I admire ur bravery
Same here, considering a third so I can get that theater experience one last time before the opportunity is gone forever
Same. It’s my favorite film of all time
@@Mattman0106 do it bro!
Dude is addicted to the penis monster
Didn't watch as many movies this month because i binged succession and its great
Sameeee
Same
Dude, The Hunt is one of my favourite movies! Brilliant performances from all involved, beautiful to look at and deals with this kind of topic perfectly.
I just discovered Makoto Shinkai this month and greatly enjoyed Your Name, Weathering With You, and Suzume!
I'd recommend "Children Who Chase Lost Voices" as well, being it too is feature length compared to his shorter pieces and a really interesting story exploring loss and those feeling is a world away from our own.
I'm really living for seeing André 3000 acting at the moment. What a great guy to see in a movie.
Barry is the best show on TV right now, hands down.

Ah man The Fugitive is so magnetic and tense but so dopey at the same time. Only something that could have come out of the 90s - I love it!
I know that Bound is genuinely popular with the queer community, but the film community finally appreciating it makes me feel so great. Great review Karsten!!
I watched a lot of Middle Eastern films in April, because it was Arab American Heritage Month. My faves: Cairo Station, Captain Abu Raed, City of Life, The Idol, and Peace by Chocolate. In theatres I watched Air, Enys Men (WTF?!), Paint, Renfield, and Selena (flashback cinema offering). Thank you for mentioning Erin Brockovich. It really holds up.
Having just recently rewatched Twin Peaks myself, The Return is so much better as you aren't waiting for you know what to happen.
Bill Hader is going to hell for this last season of Barry. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!?
3:22 It's been several years since I've seen The Hunt, but I don't remember much vagueness in the story. I recall it being a pretty straight forward (but really good and effective) depiction of mass hysteria?
Happy May Fools! 🎉
Wut?
The Fugitive is my favorite movie of all time, and it made me so happy to see someone talk about it
The hunt is my favorite movie. Good one on you for watching that
I'm so glad you watched the Wolf House, it's such an interesting movie that doesn't get the recognition it deserves
Once Upon a Time in America - Extended Director's Cut (5/5)
Literally the only movie I was compelled to watch last month. Not an easy time to watch movies when you're finishing your own.
Still going to watch movies like Sisu and Beau is Afraid once I have free time.
Beau is Afraid blew me away this month. It was my first time seeing a movie in theaters by myself and it was so surreal. Saw it in theaters twice.
Also watched Synecdoche New York for the first time a couple days ago, which surprisingly felt like kind of a similar movie, but it was also brilliant. Then I topped the month off with The Master last night, featuring both Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix. A good month :)
the hunt is peak mads mikkelsen, and im SO glad they didn't go with their original ending because that just felt SO BAD. the vagueness of what they went with is perfect.
Succession continues to knock it out of the park. Might be the best season of the show
This month I rewatched the grand Budapest hotel right after watching requiem for a dream and American history x
Karsten thank you so much for introducing me to The Wolf House. It instantly became one of my favorite films, and instant 10/10 to me. It deserves to be much more talked about than it is.
saw air with my mom & brother on the one year anniversary of my father’s passing. loved it!
The more Beau is Afraid keeps getting positive feedback the more I feel bad its bombing as badly as it is in the box office
I had a blast with the new Mario Bros movie. Not a super deep film but it's just a lot of fun.
omgggg yes finally justice for bound!!! its one of my favs everrr
your description of air is too perfect bc i didn’t want to see it and my dad made me go with him and then i ended up having a good time 😭
The Fugitive should be 4.5/5 instead of 3.5/5???
What I watched this April:
Marcel (4.5/5)
Super Mario (4/5)
Hereditary rewatch (5/5)
The Lighthouse rewatch (5/5)
Living (5/5)
Midsommar (4/5)
MH370 Netflix (1.5/5)
Eva {Malaysia} (3/5)
Villa Nabila {Malaysia} (4/5)
Jan Itor steals every scene in The Fugitive
Wait there isn't any ambiguity to the conflict in The Hunt. Are people actually walking away from the movie thinking he actually did it? The whole theme is the destruction and hostility that follows a person falsely accused of such an act. The tagline for the film is literally "The lie is spreading."
I was not ready for Barry episode 4
I'm still not recovered from episode 4 of Barry season 3.
I have visited the place where Betty blue was filmed a million times, I have actually stayed in that exact house as well!
Just one thing: thank you for convincing me to watch Barry.
D&D is my second favourite film of the year. I just watched Rye Lane today and it was endlessly charming.
The Greasy Strangler: 5/5
Renfield: 5/5
Cheech and Chong: Up In Smoke: 5/5
Aunty Donna’s Big Ol' House Of Fun (Rewatch): 5/5
I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson (Rewatch): 5/5 for Season 1, 6/5 for Season 2
Mandy: 4/5
Super Mario Bros (2023): 5/5
Beau Is Afraid: 10/5
You can’t be mad at the Spielberg documentary just because you saw Fabelmans previously, the documentary came out years before the film so you may have a different outlook on it if you put Fabelmans aside
thank you for talking about my favourite show barry!!🎉
Thank you! Great movie picks, now I have things to watch in may and June 🎉
You should watch The Celeberation, the influences on Succession are pretty clear
best thing to watch right after a final exam
Barry and Succession back to back is, like scorcese would say, cinema.
My April watches:
Dead Ringers- 4.5/5
Rye Lane- 4/5
Of an age- 3.5/5
More than ever- 4/5
Raw- 5/5
Ant man and the Wasp: Quantumania- 1/5
Raincoat- 4.5/5
I also watched the miniseries Beef, Tiny beautiful things, Pokemon Origins, Pokemon generations, Pokemon Twilight wings, new episodes of Ted Lasso, Extrapolations, The big door prize and Schmigadoon s2, Mohanagar s2 (a Bengali language show in my home country), Pokemon Horizons and 6 short films.
Beef and Raw are the best things I've watched while Quantumania is the absolute worst.
What I watched in April:
Goodfellas
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)
The Lord of the Rings The Two Towers
The Super Mario Bros Movie
Princess Mononoke (again)
Oz The Great and Powerful
Inside out (again)
Monsters University (again)
Good Will Hunting (again)
Jaws
Shrek (again)
Yesterday
Birdman (or the unexpected virtue of ignorance)
Hard to believe Barry and Succession are both ending AND are somehow still at the top of their game. Of course, I would rather they ended at the top than keep going and likely get much worse.
This might be a hot take, but I don't consider Baby J to be a big departure from John Mulaney's earlier work. He was talking about lying to a doctor in order to get a prescription for Xanax in his very first Netflix special. I enjoyed Baby J, but I just don't think it's a huge change from his comedy of the past.
Barry is just crazy man ... Fxxc love it
My favorite person on CZcams look forward to every video
my friend introduced me to the game show, Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont-Spelling Bee, it's a New Zealand TV show but man, it is absolutely hilarious.
Karsten still avoiding Better Call Saul as I can see
i can’t wait to see what karsten watched in april!
The wolf house is one of my favorites
I saw The Year Between at the Milwaukee film festival and loved it! I thought it was an empathetic view of somebody going through a crisis that didn't excuse her behavior but didn't condemn her for it either. Deeply meaningful.
It made me sad to see Spielberg only get 2 1/2, but it has been a long while since I’ve last seen it and I have yet to see The Fabelmans too.
I fished the month off with muholland drive, I went in blind and have to say it was an enjoyable confusing time
THE FUGITIVE ROCKS OMG
I’m also loving Barry!!!
I watched Batman '89 for the 1st time in some yrs on a 65 or 70 inch TV. Also watched Jurassic Park on that TV. Both w my 5yo sister, who was pleasantly surprised by batman, & JP but she was jarred by the intensity of it compared to JW lol. Been watching Avatar, watched a good bit of season 1 a few yrs back, & started again in the last month-ish & watched most of season 1 in the last couple weeks. Definitely loving it. I watched Fantasia which rlly is wonderful, can't remember if I ever saw it, at least in full length as a kid, but it was like seeing most of it for the 1st time either way. Def watch it on the biggest & best screen u can, I'd even say prioritize screen quality over size, the movie's so beautiful & impressive. I watched it at night, lights off w headphones in my brothers bed w our medium sized but very HQ TV at the foot end, & I'm glad I watched it that way. Also been watching Adventhure Time, it would play on TV when I was a kid & I didn't like it, recently I was super bored & a critic I follow made vlogs on each episode awhile back so I'm part way thru season 1, which is b4 u can quite start getting a grasp on it but it's neat, I def enjoy watching it on a level I didn't as a kid.
There's only one film I remember watching this month, and that was a rewatch of See How They Run. I'd seen it in the cinema, this time was watching at home with my parents.
Still loved it, it was fascinating for a second watch knowing everything in advance. I did miss the cinema experience a bit with all the split frame shots.
The humour was still great, Saoirse Ronan was still so loveable, the sets and colourgrading were beautiful.
I haven't seen many, but I still thoroughly believe it's better than any Wes Andersen film despite it not being a Wes Andersen film.
Jagten!! The Hunt is so damn good but man it makes you sick to your stomach
This month I watched a bunch of David Lynch stuff including all of Twin Peaks and FWWM! I'm super excited to start the The Return but I think I'm gonna get through his filmography before I actually begin to watch it. Only a few movies left!
I've been watching Heroes and Hannibal series. Just finished the first season of Hannibal and it's really captivating - can't wait what else they have in store for these characters. Heroes on the other hand... feels like a mess to be honest. I really liked the premiss of the show and how it started to unravel itself at first, but things are just becoming more uninteresting and messier as the show progresses... Maybe there is a great ending that justifies everything - will see.
beau is afraid just pissed me off LMAO. it was such an incredibly unsatisfying movie 😭
Grade: Movie (All first timers):
A: Tar -- I recognize some flaws, but it is likely a top 20 of all time for me. Loved the pacing and storytelling.
C+: The Super Mario Movie -- Conflicted on this, it didn't meet my already low expectations, which is sad because it had a couple aspects which really shined.
B: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves -- Beat my expectations, was fun and surprisingly got some laughs from me.
A: 101 Dalmatians -- Wow, this movie holds up well. Incredible vibes and animation.
If you’re finding the end of Succession hard my advice is watch Peep Show. It’s Jesse Armstrong original creation and an absolute British tv staple. The comedy and writing are absolutely brilliant like succession and it’s like a sitcom so an incredibly easy watch
instant start from praising Erin Brockovich => instant like!
It is criminal how underrated the wolf house is.
Dungeons and Dragons was so much better than it had any right to be, and than anyone expected it to be. It could have just been a slapdash cashgrab but wow was everyone involved in the movie intent on making it a good time.
we need a full barry video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Siiiiuuuuuuu!!!! The Wolf House ROCKS!!
Hey karsten. Can you watch better call Saul? And if you have, can you do a video on it at some point?
karsten dodging bcs like neo
Fugitive with a 3.5/5 is a little unfortunate. But great video as always!
You should watch Ken Loach’s I Daniel Blake or ‘Boiling Point’ with Stephen Graham two very great but different gritty British films
Saw Evil dead rise, loved it.
3.5 for the Fugitive! That hurt my heart.
You should watch US Marshals with Tommy Lee Jones, Robert Downey Jr and Wesley Snipes (the sequel to The Fugitive).
