Eve

The story was really slow that I was about to doze off and it's only 9PM here in Manila.....decided not to finish since I know where the story was headed., the actors were average to say the least but I wish there was something to wake you up in the first parts of the story just to wake you up....managed only 30 minutes as this was going to be a waste of time.

Everyone involved in this has talent. The cast is attractive and committed, the cinematography is slick, the direction is mostly interesting,and the art direction very good. The problem is it's too aware of its own artiness and influences and that makes the pace sluggish. Too many scenes slowly (very slowly) build tension without a payoff--so you start to get impatient. But there is enough good here to recommend it...especially cinephiles with a taste for things like Aronofsky;s "Black Swan" and Polanski's "Repulsion."

The movie is a complete disaster... The plot is moving extremely slow. In the end we don't understand is Alex a splitted personality, or she really has gone throu hell because of an other woman being obsessed with a role to steal... Too bad... Movie is a waste of time

I already have a movie I can suggest to you, if you either like or think about watching this. And it is Starry Eyes - I am not saying that both those movies are the same. Actually I am even saying the other one is way better. But I mean story wise. There are differences and all that. But it is the mood this tries to catch. While not a bad idea and for a low budget movie not badly done: if you only watch one movie, watch the other one.

A struggling actress, unable to get a role. Frustrated - even though she doesn't seem to have a bad life. But there is more. We kind of knew there will be more. And there are twists - quite nice ones. Especially the way they visually come to life right in front of your eyes. Also there is going to be some violence and madness ... which is quite nicely done as well. Seen worse but that is because I watch a lot. And I may be a bit too nice when it comes to the rating thing, but I think there is something here ... even if it is not that much for most.

Don't let my review history on here fool you: I do love subtle, well-crafted, thought-provoking films too (I just don't tend to talk about them on IMDB because it's mostly a place I vent about movies that I think are bad or bland). But, also, don't think I'm saying this is such a film. Subtlety can be great, but there's subtlety and then there's vagueness. This film has the latter. I can suspect the intent, but it's not really clear what they're attempting because the execution is so boring and confusing.

And this is another one of those British films in which everyone seems to dislike each other even when they supposedly like each other. I've been heavy into British media since childhood, but sometimes those kinds of attitudes (and even the drawn-out posh accents) do my head in, to borrow a phrase. Are British people really just fake and pretentious and up their own butts? Maybe. But it's not fun to watch in a movie. I root for no one in such a case.

I love the set (house), and I love the red dress (the red lipstick too). Some of the music is catchy. There are some good shots, and it doesn't look like it was filmed on a first-generation smartphone like some indie films even to this day. The makeup/FX was fine too. Otherwise, it's nothing. The pacing and lack of suspense kill this film. Also, the "main" blonde woman is so thin it's difficult to look at sometimes.
