I actually liked Top Gun more but I don't know if from top to bottom it's an Oscar caliber movie. Anyway good to see A24 going strong.

I really enjoyed Everything and I’m happy it won but I can appreciate this sort of sentiment from people who didn’t love it. Not everyone is going to like every winner, and just because there’s one Best Picture winner every year doesn’t mean there’s at least one masterpiece every year. The only thing I find strange is the people suggesting it had no business winning. Whether it’s for you or not, I think it’s hard to deny that it falls in the same quality as the other nominees. Was a lot like Eternal Sunshine to me.

Why, though? I don’t think the film lacked nostalgia plays, and the references to Iceman and Goose actually had narrative value. McGillis’ character/scenes were the cheesiest and most pointless of the original film, so I liked that they gave him a love interest with more realistic agency and got a better actor to play her.
