Aku wa sonzai shinai (2023)
Absolutely dreadful
I've seen the German Synchronisation in a sneak preview in a cinema today, and I'll have to say burning the money would have been a better investment.
The movie has literally no plot. Whatsoever. Often, there's literally ten minutes of cinematic shots with no dialog whatsoever. When there is dialog, it has literally nothing to do with anything that has been seen beforehand.
The ending isn't satisfactory either. Not only is it the first time anyone actually does anything within the movie, but also because it was absolutely unforeseen. And that's not because the script is well written, but because it is at best vaguely related to the rest of the movie.
The only reason this movie deserves at least one star is because it is in fact a movie, even if that slideshow of a frame rate might indicate otherwise.
Dream Scenario (2023)
Pretty boring
I honestly don't get why the people here seem to like this move so much. I have seen it today in a sneak preview, and very much disliked it.
The movie is very socio-critical, but that's basically all the nice things I have to say about it. The plot is very linear, monotonous, predictable, flat and depressing. There was not one scene where I actually felt captured by it, leading to me being bored basically the entire time.
The humor was also dry at best, non-existent at worst. There was only one scene that genuinely made me smile, everything else was just the same cheap "socially awkward" type of joke, and none of the more complex ones at all. This movie is being marked as a comedy, despite being probably one of the least funny movies I've seen in a long time.
All in all, I am very disappointed in this movie, and I cannot recommend it.
