I own an iPhone 13 pro. I tried cinematic mode. It looks like dog crap.

Imagine my surprise when I couldn’t find John Hurt anywhere in The Elephant Man! Yes, this prosthetics business has to stop.

All the money, talent and haze in the world can't fix those ugly highlights. Yes, you can absolutely shoot a film on this phone, but the same was true for basically all midrange and high-end phones (ios and android) of the last few years. Let's not pretend any of these images look better than a Blackmagic Pocket 4K -- they don't come close -- but as we're all saying, story is king, and I'd rather watch a killer story shot on a phone, than any Transformers film.

Looking forward to when this moves past sci-fi into dramas. How would Haneke use this tech? I hope we get to see one day.

I think we'd all take this site more seriously if you'd stop writing absurd blog posts that sound like they were written by 9th graders who just discovered the Criterion Collection. There is no "greatest acting performance of all time," just as there is no "greatest movie of the 2000s." A better headline would be something like, "Check out this little known movie and performance by John Heard." C'mon, try to do better.

Maybe we saw different movies, but nothing about this film blew my mind. And the scene pool scene with JEH was painfully on the nose. Cache was released in 2005. It is easily lightyears ahead of this film in every respect, if we're talking about the best films of the 2000s.
