Celine and Julie Go Boating
1974 · Movie · 193 min · ★ 6.8 · 99% critics
Two women strike up an intense friendship that quickly turns into a playful, dreamlike adventure. Drawn to a mysterious house and guided by strange candy-fueled visions, they keep returning to a looping melodrama and try to piece together what it means—laughing, improvising, and bending reality as they go.

About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you’re up for a long, whimsical, surreal puzzle about friendship, memory, and a haunted-house melodrama loop; Not for you if you need a tight plot or quick pacing, though fans of The Phantom of Liberty may click with it.
Pros: magical, playful energy; surreal mystery fun; strong duo chemistry | Cons: very long runtime; meandering, slow stretches; odd, uneven visuals
