one film won Best Picture, one film received an 'F' Cinemascore rating, both films are, at their core, engaging in a battle with social mores & expectations that, one could argue, descend from religious texts as interpreted by powerful white men.

Magic Hate Ball posted:I mean, I guess I'd venture that most people who liked mother! either enjoyed or were lukewarm on Shape of Water. They're so tonally different, I'm not really sure what the comparison is meant to elicit. You'd be better off looking at The Florida Project. I'm interested in what the demographic breakdown would be. It's an arbitrary polarity, as neither film would be the best or worst of this year, but it would be interesting nonetheless. Both films could be argued to be "extreme", and I'm curious to see the kind of person offended by one, but not the other...or alternatively, the type of person who loves both, despite their vastly different tones. It's as good of an opportunity as any to analyze the broad tastes of the film-going public in 2017.

Punkin Spunkin posted:"love" would be strong but I did like them both a lot (at least as far as ranking the 2017 films go, I didn't really like either of them as much as say...Good Time). Shape of Water was more charming and entertaining but Mother! will def stick with me longer.

meanwhile, Darkness & Silent House are very deserving of their F ratings
