The Lost Daughter (2021)
Why?!
Unlikeable and not at all relatable characters, with a vague plot. I don't need to see myself reflected in all movies, I'm there too see into different worlds n views, but it has to be believable and make sense! And not to be petty, but they keep on talking about how young she looks and how attractive she is. I see an average looking, slightly flabby, matronly dressed middle age woman who looks her age! There's nothing wrong with being your age, but don't try and present her as what she is not! Yet the male staff is obsessed with her...extending themselves as if they don't ever have female tourists!? Bazaar. I'm rooting for no one and am really sorry for the fictitious children in the film, as they are are painfully abused n neglected- no fun to watch.
Love (2016)
Unlikeable people n tedious
They're both equally shallow, Mickey is not a good or empathetic person clearly, but that makes Gus just as bad. He's only into her because she blond n pretty, attractive only on the outside. Soooo basic.
Mixtape (2021)
Just too sloppy n unbelievable
I love a feel good pic, and I'm there to happily manipulated, that's why I choose this movie! But within the first 20 minutes, there are scene after scene that just push the suspension of disbelief beyond logic. Let's start with that piece of bacon that she's eating as if it's a hoagie for multiple shots. This bacon is magic and doesn't diminish as she gives some to a dog, in the most unrealistic way, if you have ever meet a dog! Meanwhile the family across the street is super busy scraping nonexistent snow and ice from a perfectly fine car (and there is green grass n foliage everywhere). At this point I'm wondering who directed this?! Are you not at all interested in reality or your audiences intelligence? Now we get to the big moment- the mix tape. She finds it, listens but then it breaks?! Irrevocably? Well no. Actually tapes are pretty easy to fix. She could've brought that broken tape into the record guy and most likely he would've been able to splice it right back together for her. I understand that then there wouldn't be a movie, but if the conflict is bogus? Also...all my shots (from the "model minority" stereo typed Asian neighbor). No one was talking that way 20 years ago. Period. And why are they putting a black line through the songs they have found, this is one of the few things she has from her parents, now she's crossing out their handwriting?! I don't buy it. Just bad directing. Had it been written with just a little more care it wouldn't feel so insulting and lame. The music is really really great though!
