The usual; fanbase makes it cringe
Why can''t it just make some good and some bad movies like any other studio? Why does everything have to be boiled down to a single autistic meme word?
McDonald's arthouse
Mostly garbage that accidentally makes kino like swiss army man every once in a while
Hello reeddit.
Cringe
>muh contrarians
/thread
Anyone who praises a24 is the enemy of cinema. They're equally as bad as capeshitters.
Under the Skin is absolutely great.
>based? Based on what??
Cringe
Soulless flicks for normies who think they aren't normies
I was with the image until
>y'all
Thats a southern thing, how is that basedboy?
They are called normalfaggots, normalfaggot.
And please show me a normalfaggot who watches films like Under the Skin, Rover or A Ghost Story.
Go outside once in a while incel
>it's Le called normal faggots
Holy shit get laid please, imagine being a meme purist, what's wrong with your life
>implying Yea Forums isn't contrarian
>implying your post has any relevance
Gb2rddit.
Your entire post and phrasing reeks of reddit, newfaggot.
Feel free to shove that phone up your ass and go back.
End your life incel, this is embarrassing
>normalfaggot
Yeah okay fuck off normie
they have some good titles like Good Time or Under the Skin
but a lot of shit ones like Hereditary, Bling Ring, A Prayer Before Dawn, Mid90s, It Comes At Night
they have about an 8:1 ratio of shit to kino
oh the horror = misanthropy people. yeah i'm thinking they're cringe
Anti white garbage
How is Eight Grade anti white?
i've been calling it GAY24.
I hate the fact that MIDSOMMAR is going to release here in latino america the 22 of september
Its going to be impossible to not get spoiled in this shitty board

Based!
Why was green room one of the best recent survival thrillers then? And you can't hate it if you're unironically a nazi
I'd venture to say they're worse than capeshitters because they're even more oblivious about their shit taste.
thrillers serve no purpose other than to thrill you for 2 hours then you forget about them right after because they have no substance worth discussing
Explain, it sounds like it's about le evil nazi skinheads so it sounds cringe
You didn't see it? One of Anton's last films before he got crushed by his jeep. You know who I'm talking about. It's about a small time band that gets a gig at a skinhead rally. They find a body in the green room, Nazis want to kill them. But you hate it already because Nazis are portrayed as evil, right?
>you hate it already because Nazis are portrayed as evil, right?
If they are nazis just because fuck wypipo n shiet and there's literally no other reason and they are portrayed as fantasy unstable skinhead maniacs then yeah it sounds gay and cringe
Not the guy trying to bait you. The movie is set in the Pacific Northwest, so the skinheads are just a fitting 'bad guy' gang to get the group into, especially as it is about a punk band stumbling into a seedy venue owned by them, and I don't think Tyrone and the boys are all about that scene. The film doesn't play up any racist angle (the band is entirely white) and many of the skinheads are sympathetically portrayed. It's a great watch and u highly recommend a watch, especially his other film Blue Ruin. I'm going to pretend the turd he dropped on Netflix doesn't exist.
cringe because they make movies and Yea Forums hates that
Based. If I had a shitload of money, I couldn't think of much better to do with it than paying for top shelf directors to make $30 million movies they can't get made anywhere else.
Cringe comment
Imagine calling A24 cringe or awful or the fucking enemy of cinema just because they're the type of movies that art hoes and pseuds gravitate to. They're still fucking ORIGINAL, good-on-average movies. Pure contrarian faggotry as usual from teevee.
t. arthoe/pseud
Just watched hereditary, loved the first half, rest was alright. I think it’d be one of my favorite movies if it was just about dealing with immense grief.
>he's never seen y'allposting
Lucky.
Hereditary, Green Room, The VVitch, and The Blackcoat's Daughter are good movies. People who say otherwise are either normies or contrarian fags, and should be disregarded.
t. contrarian dicklet
Most of their movies offer nothing original tho, also originality doesn't mean good
For me, it's Neon.
Their movies all seem like they were made by people on prescription painkillers. Absolutely no energy. All these directors are 'cinephiles' who have seen enough movies to the point that they know how to make a technically very good looking movie, but have absolutely no life experience outside of watching movies and thus everything they do is devoid of any substance, endless pastiches of older, better movies that are hailed as unique simply because the standards for more mainstream movies has fallen so incredibly low.
Here's my predictions though
>Americans travel to Europe
>meet up with some locals
>locals take them to traditional mid summer celebration
>Things are all fine and dandy and really in touch with nature and shit
>weird thing happens that makes one of them skeptical
>deicides to stay anyway because dont want to be judgemental
>weirder things happens
>someone goes missing
>someone dies
>"This is some sort of crazy cult"
>"We want to leave"
>"Oh no why would you want to leave, there's nothing wrong, you cant leave"
>They run around trying to get away for 35 minutes but all the locals are in on it
>more people die
>protagonist joins the cult at the end and does something horrific i dunno sacrifices his girlfriend or chokes a kid or something.
Critics will love it because it half assedly subverts some expectations on the way. Shot all in daylight, all the cult members are upstanding citizens or some other social commentary bullshit.
it's pseud just like pic related
Their horror movies are cringe geared towards people who don't like the genre. I thought Good Time and First Reformed were based enough for me to care about what else the studio pumps out. Might check out Under the Silver Lake later.
>the band is entirely white
Alia Shawkat is an Arab mutt and Anton Yelchin is a Jew.
i generally like their stuff but the people in their fanbase need to watch other shit outside of it
This applies to pretty much all "young and aesthetic" shit though. which is only a portion of what A24 puts out. Trying to apply this to Moonlight or Green Room or Good Time would be dishonest.
The ultimate cringe
>Mid90s

Most people saying it are anti-intellectuals who only like lowest common denominator mainstream garbage. They're just pretending to be further towards the art scene.
Are you the faggot that posted the shill thread from yesterday?
The only difference between A24 in general, and the rest of the actually decent indie film scene, is that A24 often tends to pick high-concept genre films, and sometimes has middle budget productions.
While most arthouse festival films are very low budget simple dramas, with no wider mainstream appeal.
I get the impression on Yea Forums that people here are not prepared to watch simple low budget dramas, which don't have any BIG PLOT POINTS and action and stuff. So this rejection of A24, which is basically just doing exactly what you guys are solely interested in from films with a degree of artistic merit and quality, doesn't make any sense.
I dislike A24 because the post processing and color grading on 90% of their releases is identical
>A24
>films with a degree of artistic merit and quality
Pick one and only one.
A24 films are bad, and the biggest offense of all is that idiots who don't know anything love shilling them like they're the real deal, giving them more attention than other better films that deserve it more and don't rely on pandering to leftists to hold people's attention.
I'd normally say that you're paranoid, but A24 definitely does shill here.
They are a film distributor, it's their job to market films. Especially their earlier films, consistently got way more early discussion than they merit. And they're a modern company so they would have millennial employees who'd think to do it, and that target audience.
But I welcome it. Middle budget genre films with real quality and somewhat wide appeal are exactly what we need.
I love how a literal BRAND producing vapid middlebrow trite is all it takes for Yea Forums brainlets to think they're watching "kino" now.
>pandering to leftists
Here you go. Here's what triggers you. And it has nothing to do with quality. It's IDpol nonsense.
It's not even true either. Mainstream studio films put in more sjw content. Ladybird is extremely pro-christian. Where are your black characters in Ex Machina? They are none. Or in Locke? None. Or in The VVitch? None. For people constantly being triggered by the representation you get from films being made with a checklist by a bunch of suits, these indie projects are exactly where you can get away from that.
Note that you don't mention actually what 'good' films are or address what I said about simple dramas vs high concept genre films.
They're largely just a distributor. They pick and choose quality largely genre films which they think can have somewhat broad appeal.
Having somewhat broad appeal isn't a bad thing. Rosemary's Baby had somewhat broad appeal. The Godfather had somewhat broad appeal. Mainstream success and artistic merit aren't mutually exclusive, just because they're in general drifting apart in cinema.
Hereditary is still a garbage movie, just because it doesnt include any jump scares does not make it into a good horror movie. Its only up side is its good production value. Can someome explain why they like this shit? No meme answers
>A24 totally doesn't shill here guise
>these indie projects
A24 is still a kike company. They might not be on the same level as Louis B. Mayer or David O. Selznick, but they're still kikes.
I just said:
>A24 definitely does shill here.
are you even reading my posts?
God he looks so weird thinner. Like it doesn't fit his face
>implying Lady Bird has 0 leftist appeal
Do I need to point out how 0 percent of the films fans even care about the message, and only care about emphathizing with Ronan acting like a bitch?
What are you even trying to say?
There's nothing "indie" about the Jewish film mafia.
/thread
What so it has to have 0 'leftist appeal' for you to like it? It can't have any nuance ?
The kindest characters in that film are the nun running the school, who she expects to be cruel, but who infact gets her very well, and the priest running her acting class.
At the end of the film, she goes to art school in NYC, goes to a party, begins to doubt her new progressive environment, and visits a church, because she realises she misses god, misses her family and misses her simpler upbringing.
And the film is solely full of white characters.
Have I EVER seen a /pol/cunt who is CONSTANTLY crying about not having enough white people and jesus being shit on bla bla bla in cinema, stop for a minute and appreciate this?
Nope.
Have I EVER seen a Redditard use Reddit spacing this intensely?
A24 often doesn't make distribution deals and pick up their projects until after they are made.
And many of those films are very low budget. They're not funded by studios.
They're not thought up in board rooms.
That's all it means.

Post discarded
I don't see anything egregiously "cringe" or wrong with them. Like other companies they have some good movies, some okay ones and some bad ones. I suspect Yea Forums wants to outright shit on them though because they are popular and most of their movies receive acclaim, and I know Yea Forums can't stand liking something that normies or critics enjoy.
I enjoyed the family drama stuff and the acting from everyone was pretty on point. I liked the creepy unsettling vibes the movie gives off, there are a lot of good smaller scenes, and good bigger ones (the kids death for example). I liked it more on a second viewing. I don't think it's perfect and I wouldn't call it "scary" or amazing horror, but I thought it was pretty solid.
Spring Breakers and Ex Machina were A24? Had no idea
This, there's an arguement to be made that it's merely 'good' and flawed.
people saying it's abject garbage are just getting triggered over the acclaim

You sound demented trying to defend a multi-million dollar company. Do you think they're gonna make you an honorary Jew by shilling for them on fucking Yea Forums?
I can't even put my finger on why I didn't like A Most Violent Year.
On paper it sounds great.
I think maybe the whole thing was a little cold and distant. I didn't empathise with them. I never invested in it. It was like watching a good film through a layer of clingfilm.
Sacred Deer i'm being harsh on as well but I think it wasn't funny enough, it took itself too seriously, and the tone didn't sustain it. It was too slow and the endless wide slow tracking shots just angered me.
it just felt so generic, i just dont understand all the acclaim it got
Your reading comprehension is poor
I said they often don't produce their films, not that they never do.
I'm still waiting on you cunts to actually say what you think are good contemporary films.
The bones of the horror plot wasn't particularly inventive, but there was atleast room for discussion so it wasn't entirely straightforward.
It was well paced and the tone most of the way through was very well handled.
There were good preformances, especially collette, and the motif with the models inside the house made the setting really interesting.
I don't think it was a masterpiece but it was certainly very good.
I agree that the Witch and Ex Machina are 10 on 10. Havent seen moonlight because there are black people in it
lol fair enough.
It is not an empowerment story though.
They're all shown in a very negative light and they don't get any catharsis.
>And many of those films are very low budget. >They're not funded by studios.
>They're not thought up in board rooms.
>That's all it means.
But if A24 produces these films, then this is all bullshit.
one thing I will say is that, if you pay attention to the way the boy is crying in his scenes, the movie gets funnier.
A24 isn't a studio.
It's a production company and a distributor.
Their ethos and scale is totally different.
And it's definitely not bullshit for the films they don't produce, which are the films i was even talking about when I said that.
>Under the Skin
>Somewhat watchable
>The VVitch
>taking their place in the canon of greats
You got these svvitched around broski
It's not the kind of thing i'll ever rewatch lol
once was enough
I guess i'm just more interested in character driven drama than slow art films
I'm happy to watch a slow art film with character driven drama as well (and I wouldn't say The VVitch is particularly slow, or particularly artistic). But JUST the slow art film part, and the film survives on tone? Meh
Winter Sleep or something? Fuck yeah
>Their ethos is totally different.
HA! You're telling me Daniel Katz and David Fenkel are somehow completely different from Mark Rachesky at Lionsgate or Jimmy Horowitz at Universal Pictures?
I don't know who any of those people are.
Do i think A24 films are fundamentally different from studio films?
Well yeah.
based and logicpilled
first of all, go back
>I don't know who any of those people are.
They're the Jews who control what you see on the big screen.
I liked the drama stuff too, weirdly. I wouldn't call this a psychological horror but that seems to be what I enjoy since I liked Babadook quite a bit as well and that had a lot of family strife stuff in it
Babadook is actually good. Just wish the kid didn't trigger Americans
They're really filling the gap from what Studios USED to do much more of.
Pic related was a Paramount film.
It's exactly in the A24 mold.
But now they go for middle appeal too hard, their profits are more precarious, and they have to avoid triggering the tasteless chinese market.
Is Sacred Deer hard to watch if you're not one for artsy fartsy stuff? That's the movie with very specific intentional strange acting styles and dialogue right?
>It's exactly in the A24 mold.
Well duh, they plagiarized it with Hereditary, just like they're plagiarizing The Wicker Man for Midsommer.
I mean the whole summoning a demon, ancient cult thing was kind of generic for horror, but I still enjoyed a lot of the build up to that 'twist'. I do think it is a bit overrated though.
>t. hormonal zoomer
I don't think there's a single minority lead character in the entire film
Under the Silver Lake and Good Time are pretty great
It's his worst.
The Lobster, The Favorite & Dogtooth are all better films. The former two are very subtle black comedies which i think makes them much more appealing.
Sacred Deer just pushes its style too hard.
I saw that comparison made a lot and was surprised when I watched it. I expected more. Hereditary is obviously influenced by Rosemary's Baby, but I think it's really its own film, it's not a ripoff at all.
This shit was fucking boring
>inb4 low iq pleb
I mean sure man, it was still boring though lol
I was smoking dude lmao weed and loved it. It scared the living shit out of me and have been corrected multiple times on here that it's not a thriller/horror. Way better than his recent film
DO YOU WANNA DIE?!
It's easier to swallow if you're inebriated or high teebee-h
>A24 haters still haven't said what contemporary films they like
none. modern movies are all shit
They probably like Zahler, Snyder, Cameron and other hacks like that
You were just too dumb to understand it. No big deal
maybe he just doesn't like slow art films with no character-driven drama.
Sorrentino
>/pol/incels come to post on a film board:
>these movies aren't good
means:
>movies aren't good
means:
>i don't like movies
i hate you cunts
do you like Guadagnino as well user?
Do you like My Brilliant Friend on HBO that Sorrentino produced?
>none. modern movies are all shit
I bet you still watch mainstream studio trash though.
I don't. I know it's an astonishing concept for someone as stupid as you but just because I don't like your canned art A24 crap doesn't mean that I like transformers and marvel shit either.
I didn't say that you'll admit to liking it, but i bet you watch them
Are you illiterate.
At least she has a nice butt
Good Time, Killing of a Sacred Deer and Ex Machina are great films, most of their other movies are solid but rarely better than that
This is one of the only good and reasonable opinions in the entire thread

No sweetie, all films are boring and too long. TV is better as long as it’s not over 45 minutes or you have to remember stuff from previous episodes.
Sacred deer is not supposed to really be funny, its funnier than the lobster tho
fpbp
I have heard several people just assume a film will be good because it's released by them which is absurd.
I'm not a "intellectual" film viewer but it really isn't hard to follow directors, writers or producers to really find consistent quality in films.
I think the big issue is following studios in the first place. It reminds me of idiots who think actors are a sign of a quality film.
