It felt like a Pollack, which is often the case in kitchen environments
Story
In the heart of a bustling Times Square kitchen, dreams and despair collide as the staff each pursue the elusive American Dream. Our Love Written by Al Hazan Performed by The Starr Sisters This is a great film that would have been a beautiful film if it had been an hour shorter. It felt like a victim of the same fate as Killers of the Flower Moon, a nearly 4 hour film that was great but tragically watered down in its effect and impact due to its length. Unlike others, I enjoyed the decentralized plot for what it was and how it was used in the context of a Times Square mega-kitchen.
The sound design was perfect
The vast ensemble cast from the front house to the back house, the big man upstairs descending to the misfits downstairs, long dizzying panning shots and unexpected moments of deep intimacy/meaning with arbitrary events and people using extreme close-ups, and the kaleidoscope of sounds, languages and profanity created the luminous texture that is New York City. The acting was beautifully natural, without “natural acting,” especially the remarkable work of Raúl Briones, Motell Foster’s dreamy monologue and chef Lee R. Sellers (they must have pulled him straight out of a Brooklyn caterer). The title treatments were wonderfully stylized.
Does it matter if it captured a real conversation that could be happening?
The cinematographer’s work, I didn’t see why it had to be black and white for no reason and I almost dismissed it as a gimmick, but ultimately it seemed justified: it brought an element of timelessness to one of the only places that the temporal elements of technology and AI can’t touch. Some plot elements felt unnecessary, like the ant-like pain aspect of Rooney Mara’s character in the cold room, it seemed to force depth where there was none, the abortion aspect was enough to make us put ourselves in her shoes. The flooded kitchen level seemed a bit unrealistic and ostentatious and for too long, I mean, it felt like they were on the Titanic, a little water here and there in the most uncomfortable places would have seemed more chaotic. Also, the white supremacist dialogue about the superiority of white women “guera” was very off-putting and left a bad taste in my mouth, even though it was said in jest by a man with an awkward manner.
Totally misguided attempt at realism
No. These are real things that white supremacists think, and they are being reaffirmed and idealized here by someone brown? Why would you want to capture that sentiment? At least balance it out with another dialogue from another man salivating over the superiority and perfection of brown women.
In the middle of my shift, I just wanted to get away from the chaos
The realism that worked was the simultaneous hatred and camaraderie of coworkers, the sloppiness in meal preparation, the manipulative methods of management, the personality disorders of people, and the bonding lunch breaks. Overall, this would have been much more effective if it had been 1 hour and 20 minutes long.
