ALCOVES? ALCOVES! || IN BRUGES || FIRST TIME WATCHING || Movie Reaction 

It requires an especially dark sense of humor, but this is one of my favorite movies of all time.

15:30 "you're an inanimate f*cking object!" 😆

lollypop man is essentially a crossing guard they carry poles with stop symbols on them that look like big lollypops so that became their name

This movie has such an incredibly specific tone, like a dream sequence...on horse tranquilizers. It makes me happy to see people watch it all these years later. Alcoves?

Absolute masterpiece of a film. One thing that people often miss is how the the scene in the museum, where they are looking at The Final Judgement painting, is referenced back to at the end, on the the film set with all the bizarre characters.

One of my top 3 films. It’s the perfect blend of action, comedy, and tragedy wrapped up in exceptional performances by all involved. And the, “You’re an inanimate fucking object!” still cracks me up more than it really should.

The 'Do I have to?' exchange never fails to crack me up. Superb film, great writing with acting to match.

I don't know for you, but for me that scene hits hard not cos of seeing the graphic death of the boy, but because of Colin Farrells performance. Seeing him see that knowing he is responsible he draws you into that horrifying moment much more than anything, to the point where the boy doesn't even need to be on screen for it to be just as effective.

Seven Psychopaths, The Guard and The Banshees of Inisherin should be watched.

3:37 "what? on a job? here in bruges? here in bruges? on a job?" 😆

The Banshees of Inisherin by the same director stars the same 2 actors & was highly praised. I personally *would not* go in blind just because it gets a little weird 😅 but it's beautifully shot & Colin Farrell's performance really moved me.

I embarrassed my missus so much at the theatre when we saw this movie. I was a teensy weensy bit high, and when he calls the dwarf a " little fuckin c word" (see 7:03) I completely lost it and could not stop laughing 😂😂

This young lady is a super hostess!!! Such a relief from much of the nonsense a viewer experiences out there! Bravo to your disciplined and reserved approach. Also your obvious skill at observation makes watching with you a positive ride-along. 😎💯

My fav film and my new fav reactor, as a 32 yr old male i have no shame to say i sit and cry with you through these dark meaningful films. Youre a wonderful soul and Im a huge fan. Keep it up :)

The tower scene when Ken sacrifices himself gets me choked up every time i watch it. Great reaction.

Under the radar and amazing for that reason amongst many others

The number of times me and my friends have yelled "you're an inanimate f*cking object!" or “Alcoves, you have this word?” with zero context because of this film would be very, very high. A great blend of tragic and comic. If you liked this check out "The Guard" "The Killing of a sacred Deer" "The Lobster" and "The Banshees of Inisherin."

I think the metaphorical "killing of the child" to be an adult is a theme revisited here by most of the characters. The innocence, honesty, loyalty and humour of a child lost to the hardness of adult life is its own death. The real murder is the murder of the child inside. I mean if you want an essay on this, it wouldn't be difficult to write.

If you enjoyed this you'll love "The Guard", no Collin Farrell but it has Brendan Gleeson.

Dark humor is my favorite humor, because it's kind of a 2-for-1 deal: You get a laugh wrapped in a dark, more serious context. "I shouldn't be laughing at this but, damn it, it's funny!" Thanks for another very enjoyable reaction, pretty lady. 🤗

You can't do far wrong with Martin McDonagh (Writer/Director) of this film. His latest film Banshees of Inashiren has the same main actors. But he has also worked with Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell separately (The Guard and Severn Psychopaths respectfully). But, I would recommend Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri highly. Oh and the afore mentioned The Guard is quite the companion piece for this film.

My sister went to Europe on a holiday years ago and when we watched this movie together afterwards, she was sitting there keenly watching for ... "OOh, I went there! And I went there. And I saw that!" She loved the place, and I don't blame her. It's like a fucking fairy tale. ;)

10:10 "a bottle!" 😮😆

The McDonagh brothers just have a gift for writing. Brendan Gleason gives a phenomenal performance in Calvary which was written by John Michael. I think the best performance I've seen of Colin Farrell was in Phone Booth which is another great movie (and almost a film in real time) For a very different performance from Ralph Fiennes, I thought The Constant Gardener was an incredible film

Such a brilliant brilliant film! A roller-coaster. Great reaction.

Seven Psychopaths is incredible - it's the film In Bruges' writer-director did after this movie. I'd definitely recommend that one.

my first visit to your channel...........this is one of my top 10 favorites.........enjoyed your reaction. thanks for sharing.

9:01 "what the f*ck is a lollipop man?" 🤔 I don't know, but I don't think I would want to be called a lollipop man.

there is very few movies that cover soul crushingly sad to ridiculously hilarious and even manage to jump between those feels like this masterpiece

Fantastic reaction to a crafted movie - such emotion when the kid got shot - think I was upset first time, but less so. You might enjoy Brendan Gleason in - The Guard. Or - the greatest Brit flick ever - Withnail and I. I’ll have to subscribe to see. 😎👍

Man, I had forgotten all about this movie! Forgot how really good it is 🙏🏼

0:05 "and I do plan on doing it in the next couple weeks." i'll be there man . 😎 Layer Cake is great too.

Ralph Fiennes is mega as the gangster. Top movie.

I recommend other stuff from this director, its pretty good, every film.

Absolutely love that you watched this! Such an under rated gem…and Bruges is definitely not a “sh*thole”…and I thought you’d appreciate the “I heet the Canadian?!” bit 😊

Glad I stumbled across this channel. You got me hooked straight away, binge time! :D

This movie is one of those genuine hidden gems. Nobody goes into it knowing what to expect at all, and it's just so good. So well written and darkly funny.

LOVE this film. _Layer Cake_ is an ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE! The BEST film of the genre followed closely by _Get Carter._

So glad you loved the movie. Great reaction as always. I must have watched this black comedy 20 times. Beautifully shot, wonderfully scripted and beautifully acted!

Effing Bruges! Love this movie and will love this reaction i’m sure 😊

I love every second of the film. It's just sad so many people don't know of it.

(not yelling) SEXY BEAST- If you've seen Ghandi, this is Sir Ben portraying the Polar opposite of Ghandi THE GUARD: Brendan Gleason and Don Cheadle are one of The Best comedy duos I've ever seen.

I absolutely love this film. It's easily in my top ten. What a fantastic script with great performances.

My favorite comedy of all time

one of all time fav movie. glad more people are discovering it. so underrated

Colin gives a great performance in Phone booth 👍

"Seven Psychopaths" and "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri" are also great movies by this director

This was directed by Martin McDonagh. The 2 actors are reunited in McDonaghs The Banshees of Inisherin. Also did 3 Billboards, with a similar mix of comedy and drama. His brother John McDonagh directed Gleeson in The Guard. The most financially successful independent Irish film of all time. A personal fav of mine.

Loving your reactions and really looking forward to Rocknrolla probably my favourite Guy Ritchie movie

Great reaction to a wonderful film. Subscribed! You should do all of the McDonagh brother films! The Guard is maybe my next favourite. Seven Psychopaths is quite a ride too.

Great reaction ! Layer Cake is a fab film you would enjoy it.

My first vid of yours i have watched as i was looking for reactions to one of my favourite films and i am really impressed, you are a pleasure to watch. Glad you enjoyed it, i will be checking out some of your previous stuff for sure.

This movie just hits you with combinations of emotions in a beatiful way

Lovin your work 🙏🏻

I actually went to Bruges just because of this movie. They had great beer.

One of my absolute favorite movies ❤

Great choice. I didn't know what to expect on first viewing but I really liked it. Second viewing I liked it more and third viewing I Loved it!

Went to Bruges a while back and i highly reccomend it if you ever get to Belgeium.... It's like a fookin' fairytale

Kojak was a lollipop man.

Try Seven Psychopath’s.

One of my favourite films 🎥 defo

Hi Chrissie, my first tome watching you. Glad you r doing this movie, I love it. Not a big Collin Farrell guy but I love Brendan Gleason. That being said Farrell is great in this movie. I agree with some of your other viewers - “The Guard” is a really good Brendan Gleason movie. Kind of like “In Bruges” you will laugh and certain scenes will make you cry. I saw the “Banshees of Inisherin” I was not impressed. Not the same chemistry you see here. “Calvary” is another great Brendan Gleason movie - like “In Bruges” and “The Guard” it is another dark comedy. The last one I would recommend is “Snatch”. All star cast, great story, very enjoyable film.

Martin MacDonagh (writer and director of this film) is a playwrite first, and movie director second. He is also the master of mixing utter bleakness and sadness with pure hilarity. I would recommend his latest fim, 'The Banshees of Inisheerin' It also stars Bredan Gleeson & Colin Farrell - along with Barry Keoghan and Kerry Condon.

My favorite British or Irish crime/drama movies I would recommend are ''Get Carter'' (1971), ''Scum'' (1979), ''The Long Good Friday'' (1980), ''In the Name of the Father'' (1993), ''The Boxer'' (1997), ''A Room for Romeo Brass'' (1999), ''Sexy Beast'' (2000), ''Dirty Pretty Things'' (2002), ''Sweet Sixteen'' (2002), ''Dead Man's Shoes'' (2004), ''Red Road'' (2006), ''This is England'' (2006), ''Fish Tank'' (2009), ''Harry Brown'' (2009), ''Tyrannosaur'' (2011), ''Kill List'' (2011), ''Ill Manors'' (2012), ''Hyena'' (2014), ''Bull'' (2021). There are of course more.....

One of my fav movies! I am so glad to find your channel Chrissie! Watch next ''Manchester by the Sea'' please

A bottle!!!

'Calvary' from 2014 is another great movie with a towering performance from Brendon Gleeson.

One thing you have to give to Harry. He certainly stuck to his principles.

great movie

First time on the channel, glad you liked the movie, absolute classic for me. I love the tight script and smart foreshadowing for pretty much all plot points and the overall message, however bleak, is really well executed imo. Just wanted to commend the smart editing with resizing the camera portion of the screen to cover up things that YT might flag and all that, very well done ! If you enjoy dry and dark humor, i would recommend "The Voices" with Ryan Reynolds and Anna Kendrick, certainly not a viewer magnet, but well worth a watch imo. Hope you got your beer eventually :)

I think you'd really enjoy Seven Psychopaths, The Banshees of Inisherin & The Lobster 💜 have a lovely film journey

0:28 "... if I'm totally honest." I insist on total honesty from a reactor , so thank you. 🙂

This film is easily in my top 10. An almost unheard of, under appreciated masterclass of film and story telling.

P.S. Living In Oblivion! Saw it in the theater when it came out! Haven't seen it in YEARS!! Thanks for reminding me about it! I may have to do an In Bruges/Living In Oblivion double feature!

Living in oblivion reference. Instant subscribe

one of the best movies ever

5.10 soon as he said Herve l thought of " De plane De plane " lol Fantasy lsland

This is just such a remarkable movie, fucking hell. Also, you should watch The Banshees Of Inisherin, same 2 lead actors, same director, just as brilliant as this one.

7:08 - Me whenever my crush ignores me 😂

Ralph Fiennes..awesome

If you liked this movie, try "the Guard" with Brendan Gleeson

great film i enjoyed it and got a copy.

8:02 "😢😢😢" really changes the tone of the movie.

After LotR probably my favorite music in a movie as well

4:54 That's mean. I lost a bet because I was positive that it was Peter Dinklage that was in In Bruges.

Colin Farrel is hilarious in "horrible bosses"

Bruges, Rounders, Bad Santa and Succession?! I think you are my soulmate.

Something Hollywood never understood is that a movie doesn't need a happy ending to be good. Two of my favourites is La Femme Nikita (Beson) and Himmel uber Berlin (Wender). Both of which were totally slaughtered because apparently 'muricans need to be handed the story so they don't have to think themselves. I will never forgive them for putting Nicolas Cage in "Wings of desire" or "City of angels" as they called it.

I did like Colin in Total Recall.

Chrissie! I've always meant to watch this movie; my mom actually loved this movie and was always telling me to check it out. I should have listened to mom! Now I'm shut out of the party! I'll try and watch it this weekend/soon and then catch up on this reaction. (PS: I changed my handle from Tic Toc Melody to this more generic name, but it's still me! :D I haven't/would never abandon the channel short of grim death!) (Incidentally, "Tic Toc Melody" is the name of a super rare early 70s song - I used to post rare records.....it had nothing to do with TikTok!)😄

Another British dark comedy to watch is Four Lions.

You have to watch Layercake... It's brilliant and not enough people have seen it.

If you haven't seen "a Clockwork Orange" you should!!!

His other films are quite beautiful in a similar darkly humorous way as well. "Seven Psychopaths" and "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri". And I'd also highly recommend watching "Synecdoche, New York" it's also darkly comedic and it's what I consider the late, great Phillip Seymour Hoffman's best performance! From the person who wrote "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"

One of my all time favourite movies, but one that can't just recommend to everybody, y'know?

That school uniform reminded me of Gryffindor with its colors.

luke kelly raglan road ❤

'The necessary death of Charlie Countryman' has a very simular melancholic, but kind of beautiful vibe and some really cool moments Shia LaBeouf, Mads Mikkelsen and even Rupert Grint(Ron Weasley) in a small part 'Lucky Number Slevin' is another great movie in a not so simular but simular way ;) Josh Hartnett, Lucy Liu, Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman and Ben Kingsley are the main Cast of that one

5:48 - She said it was Dutch.

Grosse Point Blank would make good follow up…similar subject matter but as different as 2 films could be👍🙂
