49 of 49 · most liked firstI was just typing something about the new Japanese movie All of a Sudden, and a little bubble popped up next to it saying "Concision: 'Suddenly' would be a better way to say this." If I could make the program that did this scream and beg for mercy, I would do it and sleep just fine tonight.

I'm still wrestling w/ ALL OF A SUDDEN, grinning over the demonic live drumming that accompanied Murnau's FAUST, and already missing in-person convos w/ the @filmspotting.bsky.social extended universe, including Adam, @samvanhallgren.bsky.social & @mattsinger.bsky.social.
neutral · AI labelView post →ALL OF A SUDDEN (Ryusuke Hamaguchi 2026). Female friendship has been a big theme in this year’s #LFF, but this gentle Japanese film might be the most loving & moving expression of that sentiment. Every scene between Virginie Efira’s Marie-Lou & Tao Okamoto’s Mari is charged with emotion. >> #FilmSky

Caveats aside, ALL OF A SUDDEN is a richly rewarding film, powered by two beautiful central performances and an excellent supporting cast. It’s absolutely worth seeing! #FilmSky #LFF

neutral · AI labelView post →If you can bear to see it, the new Ryusuke Hamaguchi film All of a Sudden is very much about finding the spark of what someone once was before dementia, and over more than 3 hours explores the meaning of a good life (in French & Japanese.)

neutral · AI labelView post →always a good question, and one i often wrestle with. it's actually why i bring up All of a Sudden in relation, because i can't remember the last time i saw a movie so prescriptive be so powerful. which speaks to the quality of film (complimentary), but also the time we live in (derogatory).

positive · AI labelView post →#LFF2026 ALL OF A SUDDEN - Ryūsuke Hamaguchi gives us a 196 minute film about end of life care in a Paris nursing home and it’s the most engrossing and moving experience. Starting like a fictional Frederick Wiseman film, it morphs into a story about a friendship between two women, one terminally ill
positive · AI labelView post →#LFF All of a Sudden is the greatest film yet about France and Japan’s love affair. Even what is conventional sentiment, Hamaguchi executes with powerful intimacy and intricacy. It’s all the things that give humanity purpose and beauty. The film 2026 needs most if not its best. Now I want a massage.
positive · AI labelView post →All of a Sudden, Ryosuke Hamaguchi's new film shot, for the most part, in Paris is kind of magnificent.
positive · AI labelView post →NYFF picks: Mike Leigh's Tender Loving Care — likely his last — balances warmth and social critique through the lives of London social workers. Ryusuke Hamaguchi's All of a Sudden is a deeply felt study of art, elder care and a profound female friendship. bookandfilmglobe.com/film/two-hig...
