i watched the revue starlight movie yesterday after finishing the series the day prior and i that movie is SO GOOD it immediately turned it into a show im going to yell about forever. the MOMENT i finished it i had an urge to rewatch it which i dont think has ever happened for me before lol
i thought the show started slow but was overall pretty good but the movie provides such a stylish and comprehensive conclusion to every single character it elevated the entire thing to now be one of my favorite shows

it's only 12 episodes and a movie! such an easy watch. the premise of the show is about nine girls at a drama school, but emotional conflicts are largely expressed through fight scenes that are diagetically musical stage performances.

here's the first one of those from the beginning of the show. if you watch this and think "this is cool, i'd love to see it be even bigger, more dramatic, and gayer" then this is the show for you

revue starlight is so good and I had the exact same arc with it. the movie is absolutely now one of my favourites of all time and it's agonizing to me that I cannot convince more people to watch this series

that is fascinating to me because "needing more insight into banana's motivation" is not even remotely on the list of things i felt like the show needed. her whole arc is maybe one of the most cleanly stated things in the whole show

in reply to @love's post:

I really gotta see the movie cause everyone says it goes crazy and honestly I believe it. The show is perfectly good and you can see exactly where it could go with the limiters off, and I'm assuming that's exactly what happens with the movie.

Yeah it's absolutely like that. I left the show feeling like it was definitely pretty good, but the movie version is both way bigger for having an actual movie budget for all the song setpieces, AND way more emotionally bass-boosted on top of that. Girls are constantly singing the most insane things to each other and it rules.

Apparently for some time the revue starlight movie had the best ratio of average review to number of viewers of any movie on letterboxd. Nobody has watched this movie but everybody who has gives it a perfect score. and they’re right
