Fasting: The Healer Within (2020)
Unblanced. No science, scientists or warnings
I watched this so you don't have to. There's no discussion about science, approached with a fixed mindset, biased and potential dangerous and problematic due to showcasing cancer cures, which I won't fully discount but they need to be presented so people are fully informed of risks of not getting chemotherapy etc
Also zero discussion or insight into potential different effects fasting has on men and women, especially with regard to female hormones and fertility and general health. Female bodies respond differently to men's when fasting.
Felt like a advertisment for the Bali fasting clinic.
Lots of one sided sudo medical opinions included.
If you want to watch people fast, watch Alone which is much more enjoyable.
The Runaway (2016)
Enjoyable but maybe not memorable
My first review so maybe not going to be my best... I appreciated the different paces or the film and the cinematography but I'm not sure I got into the characters. Some stuck out as too clichéd.
The film kept me interested to the end, but did I really care what happened to the character in the end? Not really. Some emotional aspects seemed under-developed, possibly intentionally but this left me feeling a bit disconnected from the unfolding events.
Its a well put together story, playing with the chronology of scenes and colour, and keeps within the realms of realism which is refreshing, but didn't bring much new to the table or hit any strong notes. Better than average, a strong seven but lacks the punch of an 8.
