La Chimera

“Greatest Film of the 21st Century.”

“is director Alice Rohrwacher's 2023 masterpiece about the way we long and search in the landscape after we have lost someone we love. What belongs to the living and what belongs to the dead? I love how she uses light and space in every shot. I saw this in theaters with the guy I was dating at the time; at the end of the movie, I was almost in tears but he didn't like it and that's how I knew it would soon be over between us.”

“Co-sign 1000x. They don’t make films like this anymore… except Alice Rohrwacher did in 2023. (Between La Chimera and Challengers, it’s only dirtbag Josh O’Connor for meeeeeee.)”

“Guess what I just waaaaatched. It’s following me like a SHADOW. So much beauty I’M RICH”

“So indescribably beautiful. I love everything about this movie and will never forgive Neon for not giving it the rollout it deserved.”

“This movie is my current comfort watch. Josh O'Connor said in an interview that he lived off grid in a camper van while making the movie and the crew would have big pasta dinners together...the movie FEELS like the internet doesn't exist and that's why I love it.”

“I love Josh O'Connor, Italy and marble statues - what else could a girl ask for?!!”

“Isabella Rossellini , Josh O’Connor, Italy ,need I say more ?”

“Perhaps it's because I'm at the chrysalis stage of my second coming of age (midlife crisis), I'm often thinking about grief. Life and death are a given. I think maybe we human beings are lucky to live one life of many lives, and of little deaths before the final breath. Josh O'Connor is brilliant in this, as a rumpled tomb-raiding archaeologist looking for the door to the other side where his lost love lives.”

“The sense of humor in the first 10 minutes was all I needed to know it would become a favorite. Highly recommend if you liked Josh O’Connor in The Mastermind. It has a compelling plot, great cast of characters, and creative camera angles and quirks for days. I’d also recommend it if you liked The Banshees on Inisherin as much as I did.”

“such an incredible film, easily my favorite of the decade thus far.”

“Ugh just watched this - THE BEST MOVIE!! Almost died. <3”

“Alice Rohrwacher is my favorite living filmmaker.”

“Josh O’Connor digging up ancient tombs and stumbling around the Italian countryside. What else could one want?”

“Kind of everything I could want from a movie”

“Transporting. A bit of magic, an odyssey, a fable. Alice Rohrwacher’s talent is really special. (Also Josh O’Connor!)”
