Head Spin 112 Posted June 27, 2016 I just started listening to the Kiki episode with the wonderful Film Crit Hulk, and had no idea that we shared a favorite movie: Mike Leigh's Happy-Go-Lucky. Â I titled the topic as such because I feel Mike Leigh deserves discussion all on his own, with Happy-Go-Lucky easily being my favorite of the bunch. It's a classic Leigh character study with a theme and moral that really intensely jives with my worldview. And additionally it's the great kind of movie, like an Ex Machina, where the movie leads the viewer down a mental path and surprises them with a gentle re-contexualization by the end. Â Kind of a dry way to rep a movie that means a lot to me, but this movie in amazing, and it's Film Crit Hulk approved! 3 Share this post Link to post
Threshold 93 Posted June 28, 2016 I would've preferred a Happy-Go-Lucky episode over Kiki's Delivery Service. There's more meat for a Canon discussion with this one. Â I really enjoy that film- but I'm not sure I would have 'got it' if I hadn't read FCH's glowing reviews beforehand. Share this post Link to post
