bogdan-purcareata I was happy to see this sort of a cast to be part of this sort of a movie. I was impressed.It's a contemplative movie, such as La Grande Bellezza and the like. It doesn't have much of a plot, but the feelings expressed, the shots, the gentle suggestions make for an everlasting trip. I was calming to see how easy this movie made me at peace with myself, presenting a scenery of fear and anguish in a most profound way.It's true, it's either hate it or love it, it was certainly worth it for me. The actors' performances were brilliant, albeit minimal. I don't believe the protagonist utters more than 20 or 30 lines. But it's an atmosphere of endless flow and deep introspection. A great choice for personal reflection and meditative retreat.
Reno Rangan As for me, this director is done. His last best film was 'The New World'. I don't know why someone keeps financing him. It is neither an art and message film, nor has any entertainment value. In one word, total-crap. All the above, these actors agreeing to do the roles. Definitely this director's films have received more boos at Cannes than any others. Not fit for film festivals, as well as theatrical releases. The surprise part was, I saw it. Even after I felt a similar way for his previous film.There's no story. Just a random acts. Even documentary films have a better narrative. Remember a film was being made by Willem Dafoe in the film 'Mr. Bean's Holiday', this is exactly the same film. Except there's no Mr. Bean/Atkinson here to make it a cheerful additional editing. It was like the director woke up in the morning and decided to do what he felt to shoot without a script.I dislike whispering background narration. It is like a lullaby, one might fall into sleep. Not just asleep, but a deep sleep. Direct dialogues between the characters are like an oasis in this film. If you have nothing to do and ready for a slow film, you should not consider it then too, because it is not a film, but a two hour long torture. Easily skippable film.1.5/10
Snudedude Christian Bale in random expensive places. With random expensive people. Having some random thoughts. Some random lines. And some random classical music. Feels like spending time on an airport waiting for the two hours delayed departure. Or like browsing Instagram for two hours.What's the point? Is there some kind of Fellini-ambition?
Rich Whitcomb Knight of Cups is a dumb story about a guy finding himself in life with different lovers. I really wanted to see this because of all the great actors in it, but even that didn't help unfortunately. This entire movie is dry, boring, and a complete waste of time and money. I felt like I was in a commercial for good looking people that would never end. The only thing missing are the name brands for the clothes, perfume, and cologne they're wearing. I recently watched a movie called "Gerry" and it's slow as hell, but I thought it was definitely way better than this movie and that's saying something. Don't say you weren't warned if you decide you need to see this like I did.
