La Fiesta Silenciosa (2019)
It was not a 1 because it did excellent job
In making me hate the protagonist. If she was not a cheater and hunted the rapist and brutalized him I would have cheered for her, hell that is a much simpler plot yet it makes the movie better (that says a lot about the movie), but she instead brutalizes her lover, gets her stupid father involved who then gets her husband involved into like 14 criminal activities - all because the husband has ZERO backbone (which made it a happy moment for me when accidentally killed him) to say no to her father and to stand up for himself and leave his stupid cheating wife whom he knows she has cheated as he had seen the video, and only then brutalizes the rapist.
This movie was a mess but acceptable if you want to feel an emotion, that emotion being ANGER at almost every character, except Laura' lover, he was the most normal one.
Acquainted (2018)
Movie about everything wrong with romantically unprincipled morally corrupt people in relationships
This movie has no point, it portrays the bad side of sexual liberation for women and cheaters and neither condemns it nor argues for it. The characters are all terrible people with the exception of Ema's boyfriend who of course gets his heart broken by the sexually liberated Ema, I felt so bad for him.
Ema's friends dont reprimand her for her immoral actions instead of support her under the wicked guise of feminism and comradery. Drew does well for not breaking up with his gf over a romantic manipulator and power-confused (she feels powerful by commanding her romantic life at the expense of everyone involved in it, and she is confused because it is also on her own expense) and person like Ema but just by virtue of cheating alone he is a terrible person.
This movie tells you how unscrupulous some people can be without anyone that loved them ever knowing it (Ema admitting she did not feel morally wrong while cheating on Alex, her bf, in the past, under his nose, despite her knowing he was madly in love with her).
Ema is the cruelest most sociopathic character of the movie and everyone around her normalizes her actions and makes them out to be modern, when they are not, they are just fully sociopathic (for instance her engaging with Drew and pushing him to break up with his gf for her, despite knowing full well she will break his heart and leave him when she will go to Montreal anyway, and so she does and tells him not to visit her. All while she is never clear on anything, Drew gives her the conditional "but what if break up with my gf, would you then want me to visit you", to which she responds "you won't (break up with your gf)" but never answers whether she would want him to visit her if he did. She is an emotional and social manipulator par excelance.
No Fathers in Kashmir (2019)
Excellent everything but the character of Noor was so insufferably selfish, spoiled, entitled, hypocritical and illogical thatbit ruined the movie
This movie would be a 9/10 if it weren't for the atrocious character of Noor. Her entitlement couldn't be stood by any sane mind, interwoven here is her oblivious classism which is not as much of her fault anyway.
She is a British citizen, if she stays in captivity in another country this will result in an international conflict where a less powerful country wouldn't like to take their chances against the mighty British Empire. Everyone in the movie knows this, yet she still decides to not use this to her advantage and get both her and Majid out by simply REFUSING TO LEAVE WITHOUT MAJID. AND IF SHE REFUSES TO LEAVE SHE WILL SPARK THE AFORE MENTIONED INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT, AND EVERYONE WANTS TO AVOID THAT SO THEY WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO RELEASE BOTH HER AND MAJID IN PAIR.
Now that is the clear solution, but she acted not only so idioticaly, but so immorally, unethically and illegally too. She betrayes Majid; she trespasses in other people's properties and infringes their privacy; she has the audacity to judge people on NOT TOLERATING INHUMANE TORTURE FOR ONE MORE DAY AFTER DAYS OF CONTINUOUS TORTURE while she herself couldn't withstand staying in harmless (for her) captivity where her basic needs were met and she wasn't touched (unlike Majid who was severely beaten); She gives out Majid by shouting his name when she is caught by the soldiers in the mountain, not only bringing him down with her but expecting a rescue from him and she constantly nags Majid throughout their mountain journey about him being the one responsible for the collective wellbeing of the pair or just her own wellbeing (telling him she is hungry as if it is his responsibility to feed her, asking him annoying questions about why the bears wouldn't come to them, etc.), risks his entire life by hiding the phone after he told them she was taking pics; Is not supportive in the slightest when they bring Majid the guy who sacrificed his life to save her from the soldier beaten in front of her, she just cares about her own state of shock and ignores him.
I could go on listing for several pages... but yeah... TL;DR: Great movie ruined by a terrible character, none of this was needed, she could have been better in every way and the olot would have been more emotional and richer, but the way it is you just feel anger at this stupid character.
Driven (2001)
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS
About how the entire premise of the movie is achieved through ORGANIZED CHEATING, LIKE EVERY RACE STALONE AND THAT BLAY GUY CHEATED AGAINST THE GERMAN GUY. IT MAKES ZERO SENSE HOW THE GERMAN NEVER CONTESTS THE RESULTS AND ALWAYS GETS CUCKED BY THE TWO SUPER OBVI CHEATERS.
