Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
adonis98-743-186503 A stage actor who is slowly losing his mind engages in a relationship with a sexually confused younger woman. Al Pacino has starred in some of the greatest films of all time and he has proven himself time and time again and showcased his amazing acting abilities and in 'The Humbling' he simply does it once again as well in a role that although dark it's also far from being serious and it's more comedic, the film is awkward for sure but it works because it's well written and well made and the entire cast does a very good job with their roles. (10/10)
Hombredelfuturo Is like an stage movie; the problem is the inconsistence of the script, that is like an amalgam of parts. In fact, several scenes do not have a point to belong in the film; like the vet scene... I noticed the VW scenes too, two times at least; no doubt that is a commercial and have nothing to add to the script...seems that the producers needed money. Incongruous (but not arty) parts, like this girl, a lesbian girl that when younger had a crush with the main character (Al Pacino) and now out of the blue decided to start the affair; all the other characters appear out of the blue in the house of Axel. All these ones do not add anything, the story could be developed without them. It s so confusing that at some point you cannot decipher what is the reality and what s not. OK, that s part of the game, but here is where you notice the bad screen writing. Regarding comedy...there s no any comedy here; it s a drama, an stage drama that can works better in a theater than a cinema. Being old and starting to lose appeal, power, talent, etc is not a good thing; all we are going that way and this script is trying to point that...and there s no hope at all.
Sergio Mabres Al was broken, penniless and decided to shoot the worst movie of his life to keep buying stuff for his much younger lover, it is not worth seeing this movie. Is an awful copy of Bird man. Bad acting amidst a worst script. There is a serious mental illness in the movie the one that suffer the guy who wrote the script. In the movie there is an actor too old to play that make every body miserable, Al is the actor and the audience that is to say we are made miserable. Save your many and go see some thing else. I would like to tell you some thing else but I cannot, there is a heated pool in winter in Connecticut, and a girl from Baywatch swimming in it. There is a also ghost from some Shakespeare play that rumbles the story aimlessly without propose nor reason.
ruimsl When the mind starts to play tricks with us, consequence of the aging process, presenting new difficulties in our ordinary and daily tasks it is very hard to understand and specially to accept.An aging actor begins to have memory lapses which become a serious problem, first present to us when he passes out on stage.With our senses altering we begin to cling to all things that make us feel good, replacing the bad feeling of possibly failure, like, in this movie, a young women, lesbian (or not) or bisexual (or not) with dubious motivations.Al Pacino plays the aging actor in a brilliant performance, supported by great actors.It's a movie off the beaten path, but altogether similar to Birdman, worthwhile watching due to the emotions it portrays, and the truthfulness the characters are immerse by the actors.The attempt to show others, as well as ourselves, that we can still do the some things, the we still got it can sometimes be tragic.This is a great movie ad it is always good to see Al Pacino.
