Silvia Sironi Ha Haaa.Really? More than 6 points rated? This film is a complete NONSENSE.You are watching it and waiting for something interesting to happen and....nothing happens.So you want it to finish to be finally surprised and astonished by some twist in the script....but ....it never comes.The dullest film I've ever watched.And I've watched many,many ones.(Sorry about my bad English.I am writing from Argentina) So sorry I recommended this piece of sh.... to my daughter (after seeing the plot sumary in Netflix) and we were both looking each other and laughing because we couldn't believe such an awful movie had been made.Terrible waste of time.1 / 10
SnoopyStyle Catherine (Elisabeth Moss) is staying with longtime friend Virginia (Katherine Waterston) at her family's lakeside cottage home. Last year, Catherine brought her boyfriend James which infuriated Virginia. Catherine works with her fame artist father. This year, she's devastated by his recent suicide. Catherine invites annoying Rich (Patrick Fugit) to their quiet retreat.I couldn't figure out this female friendship for the longest time. The movie has a lot of flashbacks and it's a struggle to understand the time/context. It's a relationship jigsaw puzzle. It's hard to understand why these two like each other but it does a great reveal at the end. At times, the movie shows that Catherine is psychologically breaking down which leaves the story telling untrustworthy. I wonder if making them sisters would be more compelling. As friends, it's unlikely that Catherine would stay with the rape-creepy Rich around.
jadavix "Queen of Earth" is a difficult, disturbing movie. It reminds me of Altman's "3 Women", with the use of unbearable silence, dissonant soundtracks, and characters whose motivations are hard to understand, in situations hard for us to contextualise. It is not as haunting as that movie, though, and therefore not as good. I don't think this is one I'm going to be thinking about much after having seen it.The plot concerns two "best friends" who go away for a week together despite the fact that they don't seem to like each other much. One, the main character, has just been dumped by her boyfriend who was with her when she went away with the same best friend last year. There is also a guy, kind of like an antagonist, who was with the friend last year and has shown up this year again, much to the protagonist's discomfort.There are some very intense scenes, such as the main character breaking down at a party, and the movie seems to be becoming an enthralling descent into madness, but then it abruptly changes gear, and not for the first time. It's not going to give you any easy answers like that, but in this case, I also came up short on questions.
Seth_Rogue_One Slowmoving psychological drama about a woman with a mental state that's on a downward spiral after her father died.Has a bit of a eerie 70's mystery feeling to it stylewise both visually and emotionally (even though it takes place in now time).But instead of getting intrigued I just found it rather dull instead, perhaps a bit to do with the fact that I didn't find anything particularly likable about any of the characters (or interesting for that matter) and they were all fairly self-absorbed.And some scenes just go on forever with mumbling monologues of which I often found myself not knowing what exactly they were talking about because for one they mumbled quietly and also the eerie music was really loud, so that didn't really help, and the ending is rather abrupt.So yeah what can I say, not for me I guess.
