Reviews

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Robert Heathman This has a feel of old style Sci Fi of new and original ideas that are plausible. The plot is pleasantly original in the genre of post apocalyptic films. Due to the nature of the plot, it's hard for the story to be handed out on a silver platter so a lot of inference and loose ends take place. I feel these do not detract, rather add to the films brilliance. The style is out of the ordinary and unique but there is a story being told that I found both captivating and enjoyable. There is no portion on this film that wasn't expertly executed. Extraordinarily brilliant.
Bartolomeu people keep talking about sci-fi this and that. try just looking at the film with clear eyes and mind. try letting go of labels for a change.this film is a magnificent piece of art. very simple moments and premises invoke many important subjects that rule human life - our dreams, fears, desires, instinctive urges and quests.the fragility caused by the disease is just a little more debilitating than our own social and cultural weaknesses (we are destroying our own habitats, food and water supplies with the same amount of surrealness as waking up and not remembering our beloved ones) - but because it differs from the type of madness we are accustomed to, it strikes us more powerfully.also, someone who lives with its eyes opened - to all the alternative realities and possibilities of interpreting the world - will be able to see very subtle and beautiful metaphysical illustrations - things that spiritual laws would define as fate, destiny, karma, magnetism, etc, and that science would ( or will one day) define in other ways.the actors are amazing - especially the guy, girl and chaos - and their presences always generate strong emotions and possibilities. people complain that the movie leads nowhere - it seems like people are no longer satisfied with the possibilities that our imagination can create - through the film, thanks to the film - and all the feelings and images that magically stay in our memories after watching a film. technology and morbid comfort keep turning people into pieces of meat that just expect everything to fall on their laps (this applies to books, music, relationships, etc) and when art does not supply that, in an easy way, they are assaulted by a i-want-my-money- back kind of feeling that just turns to rage against the work of art.thank you, all of you involved in the making of this film, for the visions and dreams that you shared, and for helping keep the flame alive - i also create (or something creates through me) and i will pass it on, somehow."Salomon saith, There is no new thing upon the earth. So that as Plato had an imagination, that all knowledge was but remembrance; so Salomon giveth his sentence, that all novelty is but oblivion."
Boristhemoggy I suspect this movie set out to be clever and artful. Sadly it did not have any content so while some scenes are almost artful in their presentation, they have no content. A story must engage with the listener/viewer so that want to continue reading/watching. There's no point watching out of curiosity you want to watch because you're interested in what the story is showing you. This story does not engage and does not tell you anything. There were some scenes that left me utterly perplexed because they meant nothing and had no connection to other scenes. Art is great when it has a point and a purpose that you can communicate to others. If you can't communicate the point and purpose it's not art except to you, it's just uninteresting and nonsensical.
Colin Blair This is my favorite film of 2015, and maybe my favorite film of the whole 21st century.I grade pretty rough, so it doesn't get all ten stars (I think I only give that to one film, Hana-Bi),but it earns all nine of the stars I offerThe performances alone are spectacular, but it's the directing, the costume design, the score, and the unbelievably gorgeous locations and production design that elevate this film from standard genre filler. I look forward to watching Embers many more timesI hope you'll join me.
