Foe

Yes, like others mentioned before, the plot is quite nonsense and it bothers. It would definitely be much better If there was no space context or AI involved.

So don't watch this for the sake of being entertained.

Nevertheless, watch this if and when you're up to getting introspective, or reflect on your relationships. I thought it was provocative, and it leaves you thinking of how much we change overtime, and also, how much we idealize or come up with excuses for our partners behaviors - maybe in an attempt to sooth us down - when the reality is much uglier. And there's Paul mescal, and that alone is a reason to give it a go.

Phenomenal acting, a pure masterclass of the two (Ronan and Mescal), directing, plot, script- 0 points. Such great actors in such a pointless movie, with no storyline, a wannabe artistic masterpiece, but it just doesn't go over the ramp.

Excellent movie for acting students, as well as the directing ones - how to not direct a movie.

For the rest of the world -skip it, unless you are a die-hard fan.

Interstellar, but from AliExpress, with a pinch of marriage drama and kilos of boredom, with acting masterclass.

Don't have anything else to say, this one is just for the minimum character limit's sake.

What a waste of time. The actual story would take about 15 minutes to tell. It might make a short, but its length of almost two hours is just too much.

As for it being a science fiction tale, the only two things that are in the future are the Tesla-like car the actor playing a government official drives -- once -- and a slow moving flying ship. The concept may be futuristic, but what's on the screen is just a boring story involving three actors.

I won't bore anyone with the story, because frankly there wasn't one. This was the director's vanity project. I'm sorry I watched. I thought something was going to happen. Nothing did, and the twist was signaled about halfway through.

I stayed with this film to see how it would deliver that twist. It delivered it ham-handedly.

Utter trash and a total waste of a viewer's time.

I recently reviewed a movie based on a book and noted how great it was that it didn't feel like a film based on a book. 'Foe' on the other hand felt very much like a movie based on a book. The dialogue was extremely clunky and the kind of stuff that could be fine when read on the page, but sounds ridiculous and uninspired when said out loud.

Also I found some of the direction very strange in this one. I half expected to look the director up and see a first-timer, not someone who had directed a Best Picture nominee in the past. It was little things but they kept adding up. There were scenes where three characters would all be yelling, and yet at no point would any of them stand up. There was no desire to make scenes like this in any way cinematic in nature.

The biggest crime the film commits though is that it is painfully boring. Despite having two very good actors in the lead roles, there is zero chemistry there. To be fair, the script gives them almost nothing to work with. When you have to spend the entire film with these two people and there is absolutely nothing likeable there to work with, it is always going to be a tedious experience.

The sad thing is that the idea of the movie has merit. If done in a different way, this film could have worked masterfully. It wasn't though and for that reason this was not an enjoyable experience. 4/10.

It's 2065. Water is scarced. People are moving to space. Hen (Saoirse Ronan) and Junior (Paul Mescal) live on his farm which his family has owned for five generations. Farming is a struggle and he works at a chicken factory. There is tension in the marriage. Out of the blue, Terrance (Aaron Pierre) comes to their door. He's recruiting for space pioneers and maybe do a little threatening on top of that.

There is an interesting sci-fi concept and an intriguing reveal somewhere in this movie. I can't buy the undercooked sci-fi concept. As a mystery, the movie is holding back a few pieces in the puzzle and the audience is kept waiting. The terrific pairing of Mescal and Ronan is giving it their all, but the movie keeps going in circles. The surrealism mounts until the movie goes down the drain.
