Mope (2019)
Wow.. just wow
You have never seen this movie before. It's original, funny, sad and the best film I've seen in my 5 years at Sundance.
It's this strange combination of drama and comedy, orchestrated so methodically that it leaves me wondering how it could be better.
The acting was amazing, the score was amazing, the directing was amazing. Most importantly, the scenes were so impactful. During the survey of the studio I was laughing so hard I could barely hear what they were saying. During the pitch to Steve's father I was so distraught that I couldn't help but appreciate how human the characters where. During Tampa's sex scene I was angry and sad. No matter what the scene, I was fully engaged - and loved every minute of it.
Paradise Hills (2019)
Pretty damn good
I literally can't believe this movie was made on a 10 mil budget . If the director had a slightly more polished script, and perhaps the guidance of more experienced film makers / studio reps - this would be an amazing movie . As it stands , it's pretty damn good and impressive.
Visually - it's wonderful. The costume / set design is truly transportive. I feel like it's been a while since I've seen a fantasy movie like this and it was such a breathe of fresh air. Very original.
I can't wait to see what this director does in her future projects.
Entertainment (2015)
Maybe the most incoherent film ever
I saw Entertainment at the Sundance Film Festival yesterday and this is my first ever review.
This is hands down the most incoherent, nonsensical, abhorrent piece of trash I've ever seen. I'm pretty sure the director was trying to set a standard for how to create a film that not only assaults the eyes, intellect, and sanity of the viewers, but to educate future filmmakers on how to ruin the audiences day.
From the seemingly endless minutiae of wondering about, aimlessly, through life with a stupid look on his face to the series of comedy acts that are as inane as they are uncomfortable, the main character may be the most hopeless and awful person ever written. Each scene is unrelated to the former, resulting in a chain of thoughtless, boring, absurd moments that makes the viewer wish they were dead.
Frankly, it's not even the loss of my time and my brain cells that bothers me, it's the poorest allocation of capital I've ever seen. What in the world were the financiers of this film thinking? Unless you hate yourself, go do anything else with your time. Hope this helps
