Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

rjrag Since the beggining of this film, writer/director Kogonada (making is directorial debut) shows the audience that symmetry and antisymmetry will play an important role throughout the flick. That being said, the cinematography by Elisha Christian is outstanding. Every frame is carefully planned, making this one of the most beautifully looking films of the year. Columbus also relies on great performances by John Cho (playing Jin) and Haley Lu Richardson (Casey), since they share a big amount of screen time. The first scene they share is an example of the greatness of this film. The way they are getting closer and closer as they meet each other is very well executed, making that simple scene one of my favourite ones. In spite that this movie is not as much about their connection as it is about each one's relationship with the respective parent. Though the fact that de slow pace of the film may make it a hard watch for some viewers, I really reccomend it for everyone, specially those who like this kind of film.

Vonia Columbus (2017) Not for everyone, Photography as central As story and plot. In Columbus, Ohio, Unlikely friendship. Through a shared eye for beauty, Each lets go of ghosts. Harold with no White Castle, A good performance. Richardson's is far better, Authentic, heartfelt. Serious roles, solemn film. Gorgeous building shots, Architecture lover's dream. A pleasant soundtrack, Perfect in its subtlety. Some might be bored but Like browsing an art museum, The long silences Are for reflection and thought. Might be slow at times, A few plot holes and loose ends, But worth the sensual escape. Choka (long poem) was an epic storytelling form of poetry from the 1st to the 13th century, known as the Waka period. The choka is an unrhymed poem with the 5-7-5-7-5-7-5-7...7 syllable format (any odd number line length with alternating five and seven syllable lines that ends with an extra seven syllable line). #Choka #PoemReview

ada_juh I'm truly amazed by this movie and how beautfully was shot. Every shot was precised, balanced and the most important aspect that it had soul. Every shot that I saw, tried to tell something, and had a meaning. The camera barely moves, it doesn't want you to move either, it wants you to pay attention to the details and to the characters interactions. I really loved the calm slow pacing, it felt dream-like, and thanks to the great sound design the atmosphere, the sounds felt so alive, almost touchable. I think everybody can relate to each of the characters and their stories... The passionate young girl who wants to follow her dream but also she needs to look after her mother, and the son who never came out with his father and now his father dying. The instresting thing is that how the director wants to tell these stories. And it really works with all the characters. Their interactions with eachother and how they're connected with the love of architecture is so uplifting heartwarming, and intimate. A very beutiful movie about human interactions trough art. (sorry for my engilish)

JoeMIH Columbus, like many recent indie films, draws from the realities often overlooked and almost even concealed by the overpowering push toward modernity. Kogonada elucidates the real life emotions interwoven by relationships that are unhampered by technology; optimistically demonstrating how our feelings and thoughts are so salient in face to face experience that sustaining our reticence becomes more than unreasonable. The film is minimalistic in almost every sense; whether in the subtlety and astuteness of Hammock's music, the alluring stillness of Elisha Christian's cinematography or simply the fact that it was filmed entirely in Columbus Indiana over 18 days. The portrayals of Jin & Casey by John Cho & Haley Lu Richardson are overwhelmingly distilled and encapsulate the emotions of the characters in such a way to inspire both progressive introspection & nostalgia for a seemingly boundless innocence. Though Columbus is dimly innovative, Kogonada shows an incredible attention to detail creating a powerful and cohesive film that is more than worth a watch.
