neutral · AI labelView post →Topher Grace praises Glen Powell for his generosity and teamwork when filming ‘HOW TO MAKE A KILLING’. “I think his willingness to share and play with everyone - he’s certainly in a position where he doesn’t have to do that - is what makes an ensemble film like this work.”

neutral · AI labelView post →Picked the movie when I'd arrive at theater, ended up being "How To Make A Killing." DELICIOUS. No idea it was an A24. I didn't think it would pull through for a bit there but dang it delivers. Not what I really thought from the ads. Recommended.
positive · AI labelView post →I need everyone to know that the forthcoming Glen Powell movie, How to Make a Killing, is a modern American remake of one of my all-time favourite films, the classic British black comedy Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949), and I am *seething,* because there’s zero chance it does the original justice.

neutral · AI labelView post →Glen Powell tells us why he’s proud of his new thriller ‘HOW TO MAKE A KILLING’. “Everybody in this movie has a very specific lift that if they don’t nail it, the whole magic trick falls apart... it’s a really hard movie to pull off tonally. That’s why I’m really proud of it.”
neutral · AI labelView post →Genuinely puzzled by the negative critical response to How to Make a Killing. It’s the best time I had in a movie theater since Send Help/No Other Choice, and feels like it’s directly in stylish conversation with both of those. Plus it’s hysterically funny. Don’t believe the anti-hype. Go see it.
positive · AI labelView post →This week on The Backdrop at @SecondWindGroup.com, we look at the hollowness of “eat the rich” cinema, from “How to Make a Killing” to “Ready or Not.” What’s with the trend? And why do so many of these films leave us feeling unfulfilled? WATCH: youtu.be/zD5bjq5lEBA?...

positive · AI labelView post →Happy #LetterboxdFriday! What's YOUR #LastFourWatched? Pretty fun week. I'm starting to stretch into Body Horror genre a bit more after The Substance and Titane. How to Make A Killing was great, a dark comedy that I wasn't sure how it would end until the credits rolled. Another good A24 film.

It’s rare and so interesting to speak with filmmakers this candidly about projects that don’t go according to plan. For @letterboxd.social:

neutral · AI labelView post →Trailers: Shelter, How to Make a Killing, Project Hail Mary This does something extremely unusual: the film finishes, and then tells you to wait for the alternate ending, which plays as a mid-credits scene. Probably explains the lengthy 5 years (!!!) in post-production, and too expensive to waste.

Super dark, like most A24 films. I also really liked Margaret Qualley in that pseudo-femme-fatale role. My rating: 4⭐ (B) #filmsky #movies
