Out of curiosity, what are some divisive films from the 2010s you guys genuinely love?
Some of my picks would be:
Holy Motors
I liked Holy Motors. I feel like even if you don't like it, you at least have to appreciate it's weirdness.
Just going by disparities between my rating and the IMDb average, I really liked Body at Brighton Rock, The Innkeepers, Detention, High Life, In Fabric.. I suppose High Life is the most divisive, as it's the main one where I've seen more strong negative opinions about it. I really need to rewatch it. Usually my opinion of a film goes down with time, as I move away from the high of watching something for the first time. But with High Life I find myself thinking of it more fondly.
And while it wouldn't make my top 25, I think that The Velocipastor is some of the best "intentionally bad" movie-making I've ever seen. Highly recommended.
It made my long list, but most likely is getting cut from my top 25... just too many other films I like better, but it was a good watch and I felt positive about it.
I feel like the only person who loves The Revenant. That might be perception though, I don’t know how divisive it actually is.
For me it suffers from non recency syndrome...it's been so long since I seen it that I've forgotten about it, mostly. I do remember being impressed with the winter wilderness cinematography.
