Homemade

Reading the description, I expected to be boring but it was worse then I thought. It's not even that creative ...

Funny, strange, moving, and heartfelt, a collection of 17 short films by various filmmakers was always going to be hit-and-miss. But 'Homemade' is a proof cinema continues to adapt to changing times and brings us possibilities we overlooked. Top of the class: Paolo Sorrentino, Rachel Morrison, Pablo Larraín, Sebastián Lelio, and Ana Lily Amirpour.

I was perplexed by the fact that Netflix even considered these "short films" for showing to the general public!! This is a bunch of home video footage, which lacks everything what cinema must have. No narrative, no message, no editing, no decent camera work, no creativity, and no acting! The domesticity of some sequences made me uncomfortable at times. People are making much better videos on youtube. This is an embarrassment for a short film genre:( And these videos say nothing about what this pandemic has been for all of us.

I have only watched three so far (Kristen Stewart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Natalia Beristain), but they were excellent. I think it was an innovative idea in the time of social distancing and coronavirus to make short films. I enjoyed the artistry, the stories, and perspectives.

Welcome to Netflix short movie festival but I wanna tell you something : some of them really childish and really boring... But of course I have some favorite.(3-4-5 were good) I try to watch this in September, maybe if I watched earlier, could be more watchable.
