The musician’s Letterboxd account was discovered by fans – and now her taste in films can be analyzed in detail.
Her days as an anonymous hobby film critic are over: Charli XCX ran a supposedly secret account on Letterboxd, the app for cineastes, for years. On December 27th, her fans found the account and can analyze her taste. The UK star herself said: After her account was discovered on Letterboxd, she changed her profile status on Letterboxd with the words: “My account was apparently leaked.”
“Letterboxd is a social platform where you can share your taste in films” – this is how Letterboxd describes itself on its website. The app has many purposes that Charli XCX also used for herself. The musician not only listed her top films on her account, but also gave her opinion on new releases and old classics.
Charli XCX’s thoughts on ‘A Complete Unknown’ and ‘Nosferatu’
It should come as no surprise that alongside “Nosferatu” “A Complete Unknown” is one of Charli XCX’s favorite new releases. “There were a lot of songs in there!” writes the Brit about the new Bob Dylan biopic starring Timothée Chalamet. While the film has been playing in cinemas in the USA since December 10th, in Germany you still have to wait until February 27th, 2025.
Charlis XCX’s review on Letterboxd of the horror film “Nosferatu” reads more like a love letter. “Ok, wow, there’s so much I love about this movie,” she gushed. He continues: “Some things I love: the shot of the black umbrellas in the rain on the cobbled street, the way the tears stream down people’s faces, the way Lily Rose Depp contorts herself, pretty much everything Lily does, the shadow of the hand moving through the city, the name dropping of Willem Dafoe and Isaac Newton, the general symmetry every time a door/window is opened, the shot of Nick leading the way at night goes down, the moment where Aaron pukes blood on TJ’s coffin, the general sound of breathing throughout the film, the entire costume department, and so much more. I really loved the film and will be watching it two more times this month.”
Reviews with humor
Charli the Met was super hungover. But it was worth it.”
But she’s also tried humorous commentary on a classic like “Ratatouille”: I only ate McDonald’s during Paris Fashion Week, so I watched this movie again on the plane home to experience French cuisine before I ended up back in the USA.”
What people like to watch most
She lists “Charlie’s Angels” (2000), “The Bride of Frankestein” from 1935, “Céline and Julie Go Boating” from 1974 and “The Addiction” from 1995 as her favorite films.
