Killers of the Flower Moon (2023)
Shockingly awful and cringeworthy
This is just plain awful on every level. The acting is comically atrocious, wooden, and like a bad tv show cast. The script probably doesn't help. Leonardo gets away with stealing a living once again. The supporting cast lollop about like cardboard cut outs. Why, why, why is this being applauded and reviewed as being a good film? It's trash. And it's political stance is so patronising that it's sickening. Scorsese needs to pack it in...for an elder and veteran movie maker there is absolutely no insight, weight, or wisdom given to the subject. I've gave it 2 for having the audacity to sell itself as a serious film...I probably should have stuck to 1 / 10.
A Boy Called Sailboat (2018)
Lovely
What a gorgeous, and charming movie. Beautifully filmed too - the warm colour schemes enhance this lovely little tale.
Destroyer (2018)
Cringe
Some people are claiming this is a great performance by Nicole Kidman. No it's not. She's totally out of her depth. It's hard to believe it's meant to be a serious performance. Her character feels like a comedy parody when I assume it's meant to be serious. We couldn't stop laughing at her. She ruined what might have been a decent movie with her bizarre performance. Was the director frightened to sack her and get someone else to play the part properly?
Watch it if you want to watch one of the most unintentionally hammiest, cringe inducing performances ever from a lead actress. I suppose it might build a cult following for that reason, but otherwise...REALLY!!!
Hereditary (2018)
GREAT MOVIE
I'm mainly reviewing this to express my disappointment at all the soulless drones who clearly lack an ounce of humanity, or sensitivity, and gave this a low score. It makes on worry for the future.
It's a brilliant, and unique, movie. See it.
Deadpool 2 (2018)
Absolutely awful
Everything about this is absolutely awful. However the script is especially dreadful. I bet whoever wrote this dross thinks it's funny and edgy......fyi it's lame, lacks any wit, and only dumbed down braindead morons with jelly for brains would even laugh at this or find it entertaining.
It's one of the worst movies ever made.
A Ghost Story (2017)
A poignant contemplation on death, and life.
I thought this was a wonderful, and unusual, film.
It was a crushingly poignant contemplation on death, and life. Many reviewers have said it's too slow; but I would beg to differ, and found the glacial pacing suitably mournful - this provides room for the viewer to think for themselves on the import of life, death, and relationships. The graceful pacing of the film was one of it's great strengths imo. And there were still a few quietly funny moments lurking in this sad landscape.
If it were music this movie would be a moving, and plaintive lament.
It's great that we have directors like David Lowery prepared to make movies that are as thrillingly different as this.
