The Pact (2017)
Story about a whore
Felt like a wasted 30 minutes. It was interesting and gripping, very well filmed and great acting. But there is no conclusion except that you find out someone is a whore and feels bad about it. I didn't really get it, maybe I'm missing something. Is there a moral purpose for this, apart to know a whore is a whore? If it was written by women I would probably rate this zero stars for trying to glamorize being a whore. But it's written by men, so I guess they are taking the mickey out of whore - which kind of makes it a better movie and redeems itself slightly. But still doesn't excuse the fact that this is basically a movie about a whore.

The only movie that actually, quite literally made me vomit. Highly Recommended for Masochists
I rated Transformers a 1, so I wish there were negative ratings, or at the very least a 0 for tripe like this...
This movie is ostensibly an Oscar-nominated R-rated film, but I would rather be tasered in the scrotum by manic-depressive than sit through this again. That's a slight egg., but honestly I would really rather suffer some kind of short-duration instantaneous pain (like static electric shocks etc), than be made to sit through 2 hours of this again.
I've never said that about any movie before. I've watched some pretty crap movies in my time, but this has to be the first to make me vomit. After 20 minutes watching it, I stopped, and decided I couldn't watch it alert - so a few hours later, when I was tired, I attempted watching it in bed. Hoffman is a brilliant actor, but in this the voice kept me awake, and after about 40 minutes I was wide-eyed and awake, a sickly feeling in my stomach getting worse by the minute. I threw up. And I'm pretty damn sure I wouldn't have if not for this movie.
Abseloutely torturous experience...highly recommended in place of, or to complement, any kind of masochistic activities such as self-mutilation, etc. If you're more on the sadistic side, then rent it for your wife...
Want to watch a good movie? Check out Amelie, Leon whatever there are loads. Want an underrated masterpiece? Check out 'Immortal Beloved'. But please, please, please don't take your kids to watch this movie, or you will scar them for life.

Mersmirizing.
Saw this in London, the first time I saw a Turkish movie, and bought the ticket by mistake (I actually went in to see The Village!). When I realized I was watching a subtitled Turkish movie, I was about to leave the cinema, but had fifteen minutes before the Village started so I stayed on.
I was expecting a cheesed up Bollywood movie, but I was simply blown away. I stayed till the end. I don't think I have ever been so moved by a movie - it captures the essence of human spirit on the same level as the greatest movies of the 20th century. My only regret is that this will forever be unrecognized in our world. This movie invariably deserves to be in the IMDb to 250 movies of all time, if not in the top 25.

Brilliant.
Brilliant. Ranks along with Citizen Kane, The Matrix and Godfathers. Must see, at least for basset in her early days. Watch it.
