GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
spideryaman You know what I hate the most? A movie that gives an opportunity to a specific segment of viewers who claim to be "spiritual, experts, deep, intellectual, etc." to give such a movie a high rating because it "speaks" to them on a whole new level. This movie isn't deep, even after reading all the explanations out there is still not cutting it for me. I can summarize it with: random scenes, which claim to be linked in some obscure way. The writer(s) probably didn't have something set-in-stone for this so they just said "yeah let's throw it out there and we're sure that some people will pick it up, get something that wasn't planned, and they will start projecting random things to feed their ego that they're high intellectuals. We will cash on them and on those poor souls who thought that they're going to watch something decent."What a waste of time!
pcrprimer I didn't know much about this movie going into it. I had watched dogtooth many years ago and remembered that it was a very odd film, but not much beyond that. The main draw of this film was the main lead being Colin Farrell, and not the director. However after seen this movie, the fingerprints of the director are unmistakable. The cinematography of the film is impeccable worth the long and wide shots drawing the viewer into each scene. There's no doubt that this movie leaves you feeling uneasy and thinking about what you watched. The dialogue and script delivered by the actors gives an otherworldly feel to the whole movie. With lots of interactions that leave you wondering in which world that would br normal. Despite there being strong performances all around the stand or performance is undoubtedly from the actor that plays Martin. You'll be confused, entertained, and horrified by him at the same time but he truly makes the movie what it is.
lejlalaly Don't waste your time on watchings this failed wannabe art film. A complete waste of two hours of my life
Bulent Keles As bad as it gets. One of the worst movies ever. I feel super annoyed that I've wasted nearly two hours on this nonesense. And one thing to keep in mind; never judge a movie by its rating!!
