trash !
10 March 2024
Nothing to see in it. Characters are dummies. Screenplay is trash . Why do they even make movies like this - wasting time & money . There are thousands of thrillers that deserves a watch.

The pic's thrills fail to resonate. Lost the plot in first 40 minutes,.unable to keep the suspense alive throughout, thanks to the lack of sharpness of his script and the choice of revealing major plot elements little by little.the main weakness in acting and characters lack personality and charisma. Just throw it in garbage bin and watch something else.a bizarre love triangle, an even more bizarre ghost story.

Hometown (2021)

South Korean Trash ! Avoid it !
1 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
This belongs to a garbage bin of cinematic endeavors

Story line: A sociopath with psychic ability to recall a ghost, hypnotize people and erase memory plans to wipe out the entire town to avenge the abuse he suffered during the childhood. After 12 excruciating hours we also come to know that the detective (main character) is the real father of this villain's perceived daughter.

Actors apart from the main character ( the detective) and the Aunt, the entire acting crew are just pure awful in their delivery (almost unwatchable after a few minutes) !

Writing is so trashy that it becomes overbearing within few minutes of each episode.

How will I ever recover the 12 hours wasted on this junk ?

Avoid it !

Tale of Courage and Redemption for the Women of Germany !
6 October 2023
It is hard to imagine that Germany had sexual discrimination running so deep in its society. Media house to Parliament! And as recent as 2 decades back. Movie excels at all levels in depicting the story of women who went through extreme discrimination and ridicule at hands of patriarchal mindset-ridden society. It is a story to be told, remembered and reflected upon.

Courage of women and their unflinching determination to reclaim their dignity is so well presented in the movie. Extremely well written and archive footages were put together brilliantly to showcase the history of women in German society who were fighting their battle with whatever they had.

I thoroughly enjoyed it !

this movie is all about how not to direct a holocaust movie - Disgusting!
26 March 2023
This movie is all about how not to direct a holocaust movie - Disgusting!

Fake accents. Comical portrayal of such a serious issue.

Actress Jessica Chastain proves once again that she cannot act! What a worthless piece of cinema this is. The director should watch any european movie on holocaust to have an estimate of how horrible a job she has done. Characters almost make a mockery of the events as serious as Nazi's oppression of the jews. There was not a single moment in the entire film which can earn it any credibility of being skillful output of camera, script or acting ! Please save your time and run away from this.

Cinematic Gem ! "Purity of Thought" .... Take a bow, Terence Davies, Jack Lowden !
1 March 2023
What a feat ! Frame by frame from the beginning to the end, this movie has been crafted with utmost brilliance and panache. Not a frame in the entire 137 minutes of its runtime does the writer, director and the actors lower the bar ! Such is the enormity of it's brilliance ! Recitations of the poems, stillness in the motion of frames, Lowden and his co-actors taking their acting prowess to the pinnacle....this movie is, perhaps, one of the best biographies I have ever watched. This will stay with me for many years to come.... So will the poems of Siegfried.... "Quick to the tears, slow to love...."

The Snow Girl (2023–2024)

Piece of Crap like most spanish Netflix series !
14 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
What a garbage ! Such poor writing.

Report finds the girl after 9 years of intense effort by Police and when she tries to call,the phone disconnects.

There is so much of Netflix trash from Spanish productions and this belongs right there.

I wish i had saved 6 ours of my time and watched something more meaningful . The writers tried to build a plot and kept losing it. Editing is so horrible that it seems like a some college students's lazy effort to push something on OTT for quick money.

All in all, it is an absolute disaster.

Not a single actor is worth watching and not a single shot worth admiration.

Garbage ! except some old actors put on a terrific show
8 January 2023
Old actors in role of Tirso, Gladys, Ezequiel are simply terrific.

Irene did a horrible job - talentless. She gets more and more annoying as the show progresses.

Writing is so cliched except some scenes of humor every now and then, More than half of the series is repetitive without any nuances.

A grand failure !

Avoid this show and watch something worthwhile like Portuguese series 'Gloria' !

Avoid this disaster !
9 December 2022
This movie is pile of rot on all levels. Writing, screenplay, acting, plot - all of it is trash ! Director should stop making movies with immediate effect. It is waste of one's time and money. Plot is as absent as it can be . Writing is horrendous. Actors act like amateurs .

I would strongly recommend to avoid this movie. This is not even cinema. It is a work of a failed apprentice who is not interested in making cinema but wasting producer's money . I am never going to attempt to watch anything from this director and writer. This is perhaps the death of German cinema.

I am at loss for words !

this movie is a punishment for the viewers ! Avoid this movie and save some precious time.
24 November 2022
Pseudo-imaginative, full of bluffs ( book quotations, reference to music, life and philosophy trying to take shape in trite and boring-to-the-core conversation). Avoid this movie and save some precious time.

Characters are so mundane and their representation is even more tiring.

No matter what the pundits try to make you believe about the movie, this movie is a punishment for the viewers. It pretends to make you think but end up making a mockery of itself.

Even the good acting could not make the movie watchable(it is written horridly).

If you wanna watch a movie with good conversation - Try Bergman, Buñuel.

piece of garbage !
17 July 2022
Avoid this movie at all cost...there are thousands of thriller which are better than this.. poor editing - so many shots have been repeated for no reason. Story line is average. There is absolutely no character or plot development. Movie starts with a murder after going around in circles a killer is revealed. Absolute lack of imagination on writer's part. Save yr time and do something else ...

Fever Dream (2021)

Thread has already snapped ..... b/w Mother Earth & it's Children
27 March 2022
Horses are dying. Birds are dying. Children are poisoned.

The ones who have been damaged say:"thread has already snapped" ..... We are far beyond the tipping point.

Mother's are looking for the answers.

Answer lies in the call from the nature: "Take us back to the green house(Earth)!"

Complex movie ..takes a while to process.

Aurora (I) (2010)
10/10
An epic - meant only for very patient viewers with interest in absurdist literature.
23 August 2020
This reminded me of Albert Camus's "The Stranger" movie is filled with long shots....absence of words for most parts.....

The Police: "Why did you kill them ?" Protagonist: "I realize what I am saying has no equivalent. But, since I suppose you'll have statements and reports to fill in, I'll try to be as precise as possible...... .....I didn't get divorced because I wanted to. And getting divorced isn't just breaking up with one person. I couldn't leave things like that... .... I don't know what you think but I believe that the Justice system cannot comprehend the level of complexity of the relationship I had with my wife..."
