The Last Days of Capitalism

Before reviewing the movie I would like to state that the trailer had me in a chokehold. I was more than excited to see a deep, artistic, intimate and interesting love story in a very unusual (meaning literally one place) setting.

After being sceptical in the beginning I was hoping for their connection to initiate and to grow but none of this has happened. It began with you being confused what exactly is going on, slowly getting an idea because all of it, the story, the characters, the mutuality, the MUSIC, the conversations were simply PLAIN. Unseasoned. Boring. Unconventional.

I must say a few phrases have being okay, yes, but nothing a movie enthusiast has not seen already 1000 times.

I would love to watch the movie through somebody's eyes who SAW and FELT a connection between these two, because they are more optimistic than I am.

I generally love movies where everything happens at one place, especially romance dramas, but this one was just disappointing and a bland waste of time.

I like dialogue based movies because that's what most of us do. We talk to or at each other. We share our thoughts, beliefs and fears. That's what happens here.

The movie brings together a successful business man and a woman for hire over the course of a long weekend. Between drinks and intercourse they discuss existentialism, religion, orgasms and morality. The actors are doing a great job in keeping us engaged and the direction is impeccable.

I can't tell you more without giving stuff away, so if you like talkies you will love this one.

Solid writing and excellent acting make this single-set feature easily watchable. It manages to get beyond the "stage feel" too with dream-like camerawork that perfectly captures the hazy morals of Vegas. Definitely worth a look.

Pointless story, subpar dialog and acting and totally boring. I've never understood why someone thinks that contemplating his/her navel is riveting cinema for the movie going public.

This film is the reflection of money obsessed society that values cash over anything else. It's a thought engaging story and it's never boring. Although it happens in a hotel room, there's no need to be out of that room, there's no need for any other character to be part of this engaging interaction between this man and woman. There are few just conversation films starting with " My dinner with Andre" and it's very difficult format to be successful at it but this writer/ director pulls it true. It makes you think hard about what is going on in our world these days.
