Reviews

thekingsdom I found the characters so annoying. I felt no empathy for any of them. The dialogue sucked and the storyline is all over the place. Hearing Steve Coogan with an American accent is just weird too lol. Overall, I found this film very dull and very whiny.

hatcheyman The dinner cost sop much the budget was blown for the movie!!!

cjay-07504 This movie was not well crafted. It had too many plots that did not correlate. I initially thought it was about Paul's mental illness, but the plot veered into a million different directions. Although the mothers seem to be fighting to protect their sons, they come off as callous and show no thought of how their sons murdered a homeless woman with no remorse (until they believed they would have repercussions). Finally, the ending is so abrupt and left me confused about what the entire purpose of the movie was because nothing was resolved.

zadkine Of course there aren't two kinds of people, that would be a stupid thing to say, but in the spirit of most of the reviews of this film let's just say...there are two kinds of people, those allergic to intelligence and those allergic to stupidity. This film is just too damn demanding on so many levels - most of America will have a migraine fifteen minutes in trying to understand the language, sort through all of the relationships, follow the plot, and so on, that they'll give up. Too bad. The movie is a remarkable look at how some (perhaps most?) among the very wealthy feel above it all (above the rest of us), including above the law. Masterful direction, cinematography, writing, and acting, with an amazing score. This and "Ladybird" were my favorite films of the year.
