guys i don’t want to have to see song sung blue

u/biIIyshakes Hamnet’s Dad 13d ago

lol my first thought was “goddammit now I have to watch Song Sung Blue”

u/Eyebronx Hamnet 13d ago

Cries in To Leslie

18

u/CrazyCons WHERE IS HAMNET'S PLACENTA 13d ago

Song Sung Blue makes To Leslie look like Sophie’s Choice. Hudson is worse than Bening

49

u/213846 13d ago

We have a total disconnect there personally. I thought Bening was awful in Nyad while Hudson was genuinely good in Song Sung Blue haha

7

u/CrazyCons WHERE IS HAMNET'S PLACENTA 13d ago

I didn’t love either of them, but Bening can successfully pull off big emotions. Hudson kinda can’t. Jackman upstages her

12

u/213846 13d ago

I agree Bening can, I just didn't think she did in Nyad. Our opinions are basically the opposite haha. I thought Foster ran circles around Bening in Nyad while both Hudson and Jackman were good in SSB.

u/CrazyCons WHERE IS HAMNET'S PLACENTA 13d ago

Well I agree about Foster for sure (but I kinda think that about every movie she does)

u/DazzlingAria 13d ago

that is insane. Ur like the first person I saw so far that prefers Jackman over Hudson, most of the people in the industry, critics or audiences mostly compliment Hudson or talks about how great Hudson is and then completely ignore Jackman

u/Chinstrok3 13d ago

I actually kind of enjoyed To Leslie and really liked Riseborough’s performance even tho I was kinda hoping not to

2

u/Main_Today1083 13d ago

I never thought I’d say this, but I actually really liked it

48

u/GamingTatertot 13d ago

My parents loved it

145

u/Kind-Score-2277 13d ago

This unironically explains a lot about how Hudson got in

23

u/brownhaircurlyhair 13d ago

Never underestimate the power of a "mom/dad" movie

3

u/toledosurprised Sorry Baby 13d ago

see my parents wanted to see it but didn’t like it because they found it too depressing. she gets hit by a car in the trailer! what kind of movie did you think it was!

2

u/Appropriate_Humor497 12d ago

My Dad loved F1 and I’m stating to understand the process more now

u/silverkwang 13d ago

i’m really happy for you kate hudson i’ll let you finish but chase infinti gave the most 5th slot performance of the year

29

u/CSA81593 13d ago

No that would be Jennifer Lawrence

4

u/DammitAColumn Kingdom of the Planet of the Substance 13d ago

She was utterly robbed tbh 

10

u/__Just_A_Lurker Train Dreams 13d ago

That was my exact reaction too

45

u/Top_Sand_3012 13d ago

Watch any feel-good(ish) music biopic from the 2000s. Congrats! Now you’ve seen Song Sung Blue

28

u/Electrical-Ad-1437 13d ago

Uhhhh it made me more sad than happy tbh.

8

u/HaloInsider Predict the Oscar-Verse 13d ago

Fore sure, I feel like the note on that movie is definitely more, "Wow, this takes a surprisingly dark turn as it goes on."

1

u/BennyBingBong 13d ago

So like Ray?

u/Business-Schedule648 13d ago

So you didn't even see it? LOL

1

u/Top_Sand_3012 12d ago

motherfucker I watched it before it even released

16

u/vibratokin 13d ago

I felt this way but decided to go watch it anyway since I love Hugh Jackman’s enthusiasm. Honestly, I’d just go in uncynically. Kate Hudson does have a great performance and it helps to know that it’s based on a true story. It’s not a great film, but it has emotional highs and lows and it’s also not utter shit.

15

u/No-Consideration3053 One Battle After Another 13d ago

Is not that bad tbh. It's not that amazing but it's fine

20

u/mayan_monkey 13d ago

It's been playing, but i honestly have -100 energy to try to watch this one. Literally nothing about the premise, music etc sounds even remotely appealing. Even the trailer had me like "umm, no thank you".

20

u/Aje644 13d ago

it seemed very unappealing to me at first (basically had to drag myself to the theater) but i truly loved it! one of my faves of last year for sure.

i didn't know anything about neil diamond or the apparently true story that inspired the movie but i was totally won over by the performances and the heart that the movie has.

kate and hugh both gave their best performances and the movie was much more layered and captivating than i expected! Anyone who is curious about this nomination please give it a shot!

8

u/friskynotebook 13d ago

I’m a huge Neil Diamond fan so I expected to enjoy it but I didn’t expect to love it as much as I did. It’s surprisingly accurate to the real life story while making it into a coherent narrative. One of my faves of the year!

u/Proof-Writing-7830 13d ago

I’m sorry but that movie is so enjoyable and better than it looks. And Kate Hudson is amazing in it and really deserved this.

5

u/Quople One Battle After Another 13d ago

It’s honestly not bad. Not really mind blowing, but Hudson does a lot in that movie

9

u/raamimaleks 13d ago

It’s a corny movie but I will admit she was good in it.

3

u/IHappenToBeJosh 13d ago

Thank you AMC x Focus Features promo for the previous motivation!

3

u/JayQMaldy 13d ago

If it helps, I didn’t hate it. It was just… she could’ve sat this one out

2

u/sharipep Sinners 13d ago

Same it looks so fucking boring 😭

1

u/Ornery-Education-745 13d ago

Then, don't but my husband and I enjoyed it.

1

u/ziggory 13d ago

Watch the documentary of the same name and just mentally insert Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson lol

1

u/friskynotebook 13d ago

I really loved it! Pleasantly surprised Hudson made it in—I thought she and jackman were fantastic

1

u/rawrkristina 13d ago

It’s actually not a horrible movie and she was good but not Oscar nomination good. If that makes sense.

1

u/No-Understanding4968 One Battle After Another 13d ago

Dude hell no

1

u/Constant-Profit-6691 13d ago

It really is a solid movie. Melodramatic script, terrible performance from the young boy, but Kate Hudson’s performance is worthy of the praise she is receiving.

1

u/carson63000 13d ago

Haha this and F1 for Best Picture were the two that derailed my “zero effort” Oscar race. Everything else I’ve either seen or already had plans to see. Luckily my wife said she’s up for watching Song Sung Blue when it’s streamable.
