Featured reviews
So the 10 & 9 star reviews have to be written by people involved with the movie (or they asked people to create positive reviews). Cause this "movie" (you can't really call it a movie) is entirely stupid and bad. It is extremely pretentious of these "filmmakers" and "actors" to expect anyone to actually like it.
I'm really only rating this as the other reviewers were high?
I see many of the points the other 6 at the time of writing reviews had to make, but just no. No.
The 77 minutes dragged and dragged, and my guess at around 15 minutes in that it had lost it's way proved too true,
Crowning glory the quick narration of what had gone on in case viewers too stupid?
Good lord.
It's funny, yet poignant. The acting, particularly the male and female leads, is terrific. The writing is taut and clever.
Poorly constructed.
Poorly acted.
Poorly written.
Filled with BS identity politics.
The direction is none existent.
AND the screen quality looks like this was made on Super8 and blown up for the big screen.
In all it's amateur night. And boring as all hell.
In all it's amateur night. And boring as all hell.
This film looks like it was made with the disposable version of movie cameras or maybe it's just a 1.2 megapixel video recorder, either way the quality is atrocious.
The sound doesn't fare much better, it is equally disappointing, and to keep it all in the same spirit, so is the script and the acting.
All the positive reviews are probably from people that know the people in the film, but very unlikely to be impartial. Waste of time.
