  I’ve tried watching A24 movies, but I was disappointed every time. They have great production, but the story and dialogue of those movies make me never want to watch another.

    I know people love to hate on A24, but they’ve put out good films. Some examples:

    Enemy (Villeneuve)

    Ex Machina

    Room

    The Witch

    Green Room

    The Lobster

    Good Time

    The Killing of a Sacred Deer

    Hereditary

    Eighth Grade

    Mid90s

    Midsommar

    The Lighthouse

    Uncut Gems

    Everything Everywhere All at Once

    Honestly, I was just scrolling through the list on wikipedia chronologically, and got tired and feel like I listed more than enough. That’s only up to like 2021… Check out the list yourself: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_A24_films

      I’m surprised to see the dislike, I try and catch most A24 movies and am part of some groups on other sites to track and discuss them, most of the time they’re solid IMO.

      But on this community most people seem to gear heavily negative to pretty much everything that’s posted so I’m not really surprised.

      I was just being a little shit. I love a lot of the movies they produce, but they are very focused on aesthetics

    A24 movies have story? I just watch them for the haunting still life pans, dark synth, and general vibe.

      See my reply above for an incomplete list of good (and some great) A24 films

      They’re great if presented as art pieces, but marketing tries to convince me that they’re movies.

      Kinda a good fit for a FromSoft game. Lost of impressive visuals, action, and tons of clues about a story sprinkled throughout the game without actually telling a story.

        A so called “tone piece” yeah, that’s a good point.

  It will turn into a “war is hell” story, or go on a large tangent about whether NPC summons have (human) souls.
