are long takes even impressive anymore?
Ever since Birdman, Hollywood's had a raging hard-on for them. Resulting in at least 20 or so movies released in the past couple years that's had at least one really showoffy one (The Revenant, La La Land, Spectre etc).
Personally, I'm bored of them at this point. It's no longer impressive when everybody else is doing it, and even less so when everybody knows how they're done (hidden cuts, anyone?). This long take trend, reminds me of the 90's lesbian kissing trend. Remember when every other movie/show ever tried to shock us with it back then?
