You know a movie is good when as soon as it finishes you watch 10 YouTube vids about it even tho it’s 3 in the morning

This movie was a 2.5 hour anxiety roller coaster and i loved it

Jake gyllenhaal is so fuckin amazing in this movie, just the little mannerisms he gave to this character are so good.

They should have given an award for Jake's hair.

That scene with Jake driving to the hospital, so intense!

Casting director: "we need an actor to beat up onscreen...is Paul Dano available?"

Anybody else notice how when Keller is saying the Lord's prayer in front of Alex he can't finish it, specifically he struggles to say the line "-we may forgive those who trespass against us" his faith is tested and at that moment he fails. It's such a perfect, subtle moment.

jake sold me on that little twitch he does. he is so underrated

The whistle at the end gives me goosebumps

I'm sure that Loki saves Dover. As in the beginning we are told Loki always finishes his cases and find the culprits and in the movie he finally saves Anna. Now in the hospital when Dover wife asks him whether he would be able to find Dover, after minor second pauses and thinking Loki says: Yeah. So finally he must have found him..

Paul Dano is just briliant. The way he built up a career based on only how punchable his face is, that's just admirable. Great actor though. I meant in no way bulling the guy, I just stated the obvious I love him in every movie he is in. Just to clarify.

Is no one else going to appreciate the fact that he used the movie's score throughout the video.

what i loved the most about Prisoners is how different people i know either root for keller or loki.

This whole film is so tense. I genuinely have not been frightened by a film in so long and it’s not even a horror. That’s why it’s so real. This happens. Kidnapping is a real thing. No Xenomorphs, no killer demon clowns, just a fucked up real person who abducts children. When we saw the bag taken off Alex’s head inside the old house and saw his face after days of torture I physically began shaking with fear. When Kellar is beating Alex in front of Joy’s dad, and Joy’s dad breaks down crying in front of the monster that Kellar has become , it really cements how the real monsters don’t hide under our beds or come from space, they walk around the same streets as us, they eat the same foods we do, they are what we are, people. Villeneuve is one of the greatest living directors of all time and his films will be remembered throughout history.

I feel like the reason Keller is so protective of his family is because of the fact he lost his dad young. He’s already experienced so much loss that the very thought of it scares him. Maybe he felt he could have prevented his father’s suicide. He realizes he might be able to prevent losing his only daughter too and goes to extreme lengths to never have to feel that sorrow again.

I felt so damn bad for Barry. That poor kid went through hell.

Favorite director right now.

One of the most devastating Oscar snubs of all time. The best performances that Jake and Hugh had given in their whole careers. An enthralling, dark, unrelenting story, BEAUTIFUL direction and haunting music. This film deserved nominations all around. The release date screwed it

I’m in love with Paul Dano, he’s absolutely phenomenal in everything that he’s in, and criminally underrated. I hope he gets some mainstream attention from The Batman
