It is a performances centric movie

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

This odd, stylish, Swiss film is nothing if not original. Intrigue is controlled well enough that the story flows amidst strange characterisations and dry precision. It progresses as if toward magic realism but in the end the viewer is rewarded with a satisfyingly imaginative drama.

It's difficult because I do not know what he's telling me. I admit that I like rational and linear scripts, but this film is totally unclassifiable. It's a movie so absurd that it's about seeing the characters in several places at once without one because it loses me.It is so irrational that there comes a time that only gets tired and that is just waiting for the end.I do not know how the actors are, because although I see them well, but I do not know what they are telling me, so I do not know if they do it right or wrong.At first, I was surprised by the photography. I thought it was very good. But of course, when I checked that I did not know he was telling me, I do not know if he supports the story or not. Which is pretty, yes, but where is it going?His address, since for me it does not exist, because it has no way, because it is very bad.I think there are better things to invest your time

Seen at the IMAGINE film festival 2017 in Amsterdam. Despite technically nothing wrong with this movie, I fail to find anything remarkable in it, no logical dramatic development, and no plot whatsoever. I assume that the film makers were so obsessed with the basic concept of mixing fantasy and reality, that they forgot to add a comprehensible and edible story. The "help" given to Aloys for breaking out of his loneliness, went past me and I cannot imagine it offering any escape nor a solid path to achieve that goal.All in all a pity, as the first half hour is mysteriously promising. After that, the jumps between reality, fantasy and the mix between what could be true and what seems fantasy, make you soon lose interest, particularly as it has no clear effect on the psychology of main characters and their future life. I don't think Aloys will improve his quality of living, and the life and motivation of the woman is unclear to such a degree that I cannot tell what her future looks like either.

A very good sci-fi concept, poorly executed. As the film begins, you are reminded of Harry Caul of Coppola's "The Conversation," which was brilliantly played by Gene Hackman.This film cannot boast of a Hackman or a John Cazale.You have a dead father being cremated but we are never told how he died.Secondary characters like Aloys' childhood classmate are never fleshed out. The concept of a drunk Aloy being locked up in a bus does not ring true. It appears he had urinated in his trousers in one shot. In a later shot, there is no such evidence.All in all it is a film that had so much potential that fails to deliver.
