PROJECT HAIL MARY hit me right in the feels. Funny, warm, and genuinely moving. Did NOT expect to get so invested in the friendship between Ryan Gosling’s character and Rocky… but here we are. What a beautiful film.

Project Hail Mary just hit 4.4 on Letterboxd with 41,000+ ratings. That score is enough to place it #100 in Letterboxd’s Top 500 Films of All Time. A huge debut for a brand new sci-fi film.

@RhodeToLove It's about to be every gay person's favorite too. It's emotional, sincere, and actually believes in connection. Not a demographic thing. A taste thing.

this is about to be every straight guy’s favourite movie

PROJECT HAIL MARY is for people who want to feel good at the movies. It’s earnest, hopeful, unapologetically sincere. If that’s not your thing, there are darker films out there. I’ll take the movie that believes in building a better life through a connection with others.

@ScottDMenzel Loved it! But you clearly don’t read the @NewYorker

I’m just curious but has anyone who has seen Project Hail Mary not liked it?

@ZuzuOnFire If you hate great movies that make you feel good then don’t see it.

Project Hail Mary looks a little too feel-good for my liking... as weird as that sounds. Can anyone confirm or deny?

Project Hail Mary is gonna be one of those blockbusters where people in 20 years will say, "man, i wish i could have seen this for the first time in theaters."

@EPM106 You’ve got that backwards. The Bride is the one to dread. Project Hail Mary is a beautiful crowd-pleaser that actually earns it.

lowkey dreading my viewing of Project Hail Mary more than my viewing of The Bride

‘PROJECT HAIL MARY’ has entered the Letterboxd Top 100 Films of All Time.

@rachel_reviews @megaplextheatre @HallmarkiesPod I admire how committed you are to championing this movie. I couldn't do it, but I respect your dedication.

Here at @megaplextheatre Jordan Commons to see Reminders of Him. Ive actually already seen it but I think they did a good job and I wanted to support romance. Check out my interview with the director, Colleen Hoover and cast at @HallmarkiesPod #Rachelmovies

New thread. Here at my first movie of 2026 in cinemas. It's the secret cinema and pretty sure it's horror Primate. At @megaplextheatre Jordan Commons #rachelmovies. KSL Movie Show review this Friday

REMINDERS OF HIM stretches a simple story into a drawn-out test of patience. Lots of glossy emotion, but no spark. My review: fastfilmreviews.com/2026/03/19/rem… @ofcs

@rachel_reviews It’s journalism vs. publicist. If you’re a journalist, you can interview a director without liking the film and ask real questions. If you choose to be a publicist then don’t. Just decide what kind of writer you are.

So I didn't end up doing an interview with a director for a movie I didn't like. In the end it was their call but I do think a podcast style interview would be awkward and not a great listen for a movie I gave a negative review to. I know lots disagree but shrug

There was no outrage. This moment went viral because people thought it was sweet, not scandalous.

@rachel_reviews @ofcs And I love that it did!

@Mark_Hobin @ofcs LOL when you said "Have I got a movie for you" that made me laugh because it totally worked for me! 🙋‍♀️

UNDERTONE spends most of its runtime building atmosphere through whispered audio logs, only to collapse into a weak finale that descends into pandemonium. My review: fastfilmreviews.com/2026/03/16/und… @ofcs

Final #Oscars predictions are locked in. See you all in a few hours when this ballot ages either brilliantly or disastrously. #Oscarboxd

@rachel_reviews I thought you canceled the interview not them.

@Mark_Hobin I guess it would be possible but that's not the choice they made

So I just had to cancel an interview with a director because I didn't like the movie... Got to be honest folks
