Let me start off by saying that I am a sucker for the weirdest and most disturbing things you can find. I haven't seen a lot of "very" disturbing films but I am going down the list.

Nekromantik is considered very disturbing by many, having even been banned in quite an amount of countries. I don't know if it's because of the time of release but it just is not disturbing to me in the slightest. Yeah, the main themes in this film are weird and only a sick person can come up with them, but... the execution / effects are just so terrible that it made me laugh. Everything about this film was horrible. The awful random music and acting was disturbing, if anything. The infamous scenes too were just very laughable as they were horrible to look at in terms of realness / how much it was trying too hard to be disturbing.

This film has no redeeming qualities at all. It does not shock/disturb me (what it really tries to do too much), the acting is like non-existent; that's how terrible it is, the music makes no sense at all and irritated me a lot and the plot... yeah there is not really any plot either.

I somehow finished it in the hopes it would achieve only a fragment of what it wanted to do, but alas; in the end this was a waste of time.

Wow this was such a highly intense film, which I did not expect at all. It made me very hyped up and energetic while nervous of what happened next in this film.

This film is about a young drummer aspiring to be the next biggest hit. As he came under a mentor, he started having a high dunk of himself. Too high. This was a very intense ride of a film as you saw the uprising, downfall and once again uprising of this young drummer. The acting in this film was phenomenal besides that, especially the performance of this young drummer, played by Miles Teller. He truly only saw one way out which was forwards. He got blinded by success, but in the end managed to escape the spiraling downfall he was getting into.

This film honestly made me quite speechless, as probably can be seen from my review, because I am writing this right after having finished the film.

I recommend everyone to watch this film even if you don't find drumming appealing at all. because this film surely will keep you on the edge of your seat like it did to me.

Let me start off by saying that what this film is based on, truly is really really powerful and really inspirational. It also makes you realize what simple things in life we take for granted, like walking. If that suddenly gets taken away from you it's like your world falls apart.. everyone around you suddenly needs to adapt as well and it just breaks a lot of relationships.. yet Jeff Bauman, in this film portrayed by Jake Gyllenhaal shows us how to recover from such a terrible thing and to live life to the fullest.

The film itself portrayed this event, yet.. it felt lacking. Jake Gyllenhaal did an outstanding job in my oppinion but overall the general film felt quite boring and a drag.. the plot felt repetitive and lacked depth, just like the characters did. It definitely had some powerful moments in the film, but it felt like it didn't do true justice over the actual event. Overall it was not a bad film, it just felt like it had more potential than it brought out.
