Saw this movie yesterday and absolutely loved it. I don't really think it's suitable for small children though, the humor is dark from time to time. Reminded me of Tim Burton's work mixed in with some 'a series of unfortunate events' vibes. Fun, heartwarming and a little dark.
It is enjoyable to watch the movie, and it moves fast so you won't be bored. It has good laughs and it discusses a good idea at the end so it is not just a waste of time.
That Daily Mail "journalist" is utterly despicable and somehow wilfully ignorant of his role. Solid documentary.
I don't know what to say...the matter is pretty serious, sexual abuse is the worst thing and when it's about kids there is not a word bad enough to describe it.. If anything even close to what is narrated is really happened, respect to the woman who grew up, managed to leave all behind her. Point is the while watching this and hear the story they tell, you can't avoid to think that any adult can't be so naive and dumb...period. No excuse. I can believe a kid might be easy to manipulate...but to let a grown up man to sleep with your daughter in her bed...really???? Come on...seriously? Those two are as guilty as the one who took advantage of them all.
The story is so unbelievable that it was hard to pay attention to it...guess i reached a point when it was too much..
If i think about it as fiction, it would be too stupid.
If i think about it as a documentary telling a real story, it just makes you mad to think humans can be so dumb.
...People had more than they needed. We had no idea what was precious and what wasn't. We threw away things people kill each other for now...
This is such a heartbreaking story... The healthcare system failed this beautiful family, they completely destroyed them.
This story is unforgettable, it's so haunting. Wow... It left me absolutely speechless...
This is not a documentary about another mysterious disappearance or a crime that raises many questions, but a film showing how great evil can happen for years before it's brought to justice.
Men getting what they deserve, and a happy ending for the lesbians? Couldn't ask for more.
I love this cheesy ridiculously silly movie. It’s like a manic fever dream. There are no transitions, just bam bam bam. I love Ralph and Alejandra, they definitely steal the show. I really hoping this is the beginning of LILO’s redemption.
Don’t go into this expecting a masterpiece - you’ll be miserable. But if you go into this with low expectations and just hope for Christmas fun, you’ll enjoy the journey.
I hope they do a sequel. I hope it’s more cheesy, more ridiculous, and the silliest. The perfect Christmas escape.
Oh boy this is really gonna piss off all the preppy rapists of society, I forecast many downvotes and hate posts.
This movie takes you on the edge of your seat from start to finish
A solid story that keeps you engaged the whole time with a great twist
Sarah Paulson is fantastic and Kiera Allen did a good job too , superb performances that hold the film together
An empowering thriller
I thought the movie was decent, but no where near great as everyone says. It's very predictable and yes the CGI is great but does that make the movie?
Predictable but fun. Enjoyed getting to see these actors cast together!
I can't believe what I just watched and heard. This is one of the craziest and sick stories I have ever watched. I feel for the family but some of the choices these parents made blew my mind. I kept thinking to myself I really need to talk to my daughter. This is the kind of show that everyone should watch so they know that their are people out there that can really manipulate you to do anything. When she called after being taken the second time to talk to her sister and father, it got to me. Oh and to top it off that the young girl who was kidnapped is an well known actress just blew my mind!!
Enjoyable movie, Korean directors need more appreciation. Only thing I didn't like about the film was what was going on with James Sullivan? Confused in regards to what was going on with his character.
This has major Rogue One vibes blended with Firefly, Star Trek, and a good solid dose of Bebop. Very enjoyable, and I can’t wait to see if we get anything else in this universe.
Watch out star wars, the korean are in the space now:thumbsup:.
Good plot with some nice twists :heavy_check_mark:
Great acting :heavy_check_mark:
Decent space CGI:heavy_check_mark:
I am not the biggest fan of animated movies with a lot of singing. However, this time I think I can overlook it. The songs were well done and fit into the story well. The characters were cute and had their own personalities. The animation was great. Story-wise however, it was a little cliched. But overall, a great family movie.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
This movie kept my interest, but if it were set in the US I'm not sure that it would have. The ending kind of made me question what the ~moral~ of the movie was: that people are all the same and that misogyny is just a coincidence, just a flip of a coin? That women somehow deserve it because of the state of things in another world?? I'm really not sure. It was also kind of unsatisfying as a story -- I wanted to see Damien have a "wow I'm a good guy now!!" moment in our world.
Random aside: As a girl with a big nose, it was nice to see lots of men and women with similar noses in this movie. My people! ♥
"The Truman Show" dares to question the reality. It's original, complex, and philosophical. It manages to make you feel truly frustrated and claustrophobic.
Perhaps many of us can relate to Truman as we live in a time of routines. We often live our lives without giving a second thought to the simplicity and meaninglessness of life itself. Our limited perspectives keep us from seeing. The lies we are told keep us from the truth. If we could push the boundaries of our reality, what are the odds that we'd face what Truman faced in the end?
It was a joy to watch "Jim Carrey" as "Truman", it is yet another proof that Jim isn't just a comedian.
Tatiana Maslany can fit hours of complex emotions into 20 minutes and you feel every beat. This short film is a real tease, it makes you long for more of the story. Great job. I give this film an 8.5 (great) out of 10. [Drama]

Just like a werewolf is two entities in the same person, Good Manners is two films in one (and if that was done on purpose, then respect).
The first half of the film is the beast during the day and is easily the better film (at 2 hours and 15 minutes, I wasn't kidding: this film really is 2 films in 1). It's subtle, keeps us guessing and is marvelously performed. The second part/film is the animal half and, while the CGI is above par and there is more action, it never really escapes from the chains of cliche that hold it down. It's entertaining to be sure, but it leaves us hungry for the finesse we had at the beginning. (If you see this film, my advice would be to leave when Clara is with the 'package' at the side of the river.)
Overall, Good Manners succeeds most when it eschews genre, but is definitely worth a watch.
Excellent movie - Shows a realistic portrayal of how intelligence services works (by the Cubans). Of course, I'm sympathetic to the mainland Cuban plight, being bullied by the 'Land of the Free'. Probably why this movie has received a low rating is the disapproval by the mindless zombies in America.
"Not everything is fleeting."
Indescribably beautiful in every way. Sciamma knows exactly when to linger and exactly when to let go. This is a film that is in complete control. It doesn’t just depict the longing, the love, the heartbreak; it gives the audience permission to experience these feelings with the film. It allows us into these moments in such delicate and masterful ways, that we are swept up into the romance along with Marianne and Héloïse.
Its interesting how many shots in this movie could exist in the latest artsy horror film released by A24. But in the context of this film, they don’t horrify the audience; they haunt us. They haunt us both despite and because of their beauty. They haunt us in the same way as Orpheus’ last goodbye to Eurydice.
"Turn around."
so im just supposed to go on with my life after this?????????
HAROLD, THEY'RE LESBIANS!
Watching this in a totally white audience was an experience. The little titters and nudges when 'make america great again' was mentioned, or about police officers shooting unarmed black people, or even one becoming president; to the we won mentality at the final phone call.
Then the deathly silence with the current footage being shown. I think quite a few people realised it's not just references.
These people still exist today.
They still have their rallies.
They still have their marches.
They still murder in uniform.
And they still hold these abhorrent views.
I think I even heard some people sniff away some tears right at the end once they saw the footage and heard the words of people who were there.
Enjoy the film; enjoy the jokes (it is a funny film) but make no doubt the characters shown still exist.
