Acclaimed filmmaker Barry Jenkins has praised Marvel Studios' latest offering "Avengers: Endgame" for its emotional quotient as well as technical elements, pitching the film as a major contender for the 2020 award season.
In a lengthy post on Twitter, the director of 2017's Oscar-winning feature film "Moonlight", hailed the performances by Brie Larson as Captain Marvel and Mark Ruffalo as Hulk.
"A couple thangs about a couple thangs Brie Larson LARSON kicked so much ass and served about fifty'eleven looks in #AvengersEndgame and I was here for Every. Damn. One of 'em... especially new 'do' Captain Marvel," he tweeted.
"Mark Ruffalo is a tremendous f***ing actor. Full stop. Wonderful voice-work here; the computer whizzes do what they do and augment the expressions but what he does with his voice is some of the absolute finest work. My endless respect to that cat #AvengersEndgame," he added.
The director said he loved the way helmers Anthony and Joe Russo presented the "spatial relationship" between the characters of the vast Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
"The Russo Bros are so fundamentally sound in the way they communicate spatial relationships between characters during set-pieces. It's what truly separates their work on this scale from most others'. It's truly jaw-dropping how grounded the audience is at all time."
