Im not sure why but I didnt like it that much, seeing all those high ratings and comments I expected better. Don't get me wrong its good but its not that exceptionally good or special. Did not fascinate me, mostly felt surprised and disgusted, or both. (I heard about it being traumatising but it still surprised me how graphic it was)
-expected the faun to be the villain, the mother said they can't be trusted and then he gave her that mandrake, and all I ever heard/saw about them is driving people insane when left under the bed
-her eating the grapes made me really angry, but then I remembered they prob didnt have that much food and so I think it was a bigger temptation, but still, very stupid and unneccesary (especially for that short amount of time she was in there)
this man gets stabbed in the chest twice, poisoned, then dies via gunshot to the cheek? we love to see it.
also when this girl eats the grapes and the fairies die, I stopped rooting for her lol
This would have been a lot better if they had done some more world building, showing how this enterprise came to be and explore other possibilites of that body possessing machine. The ending also felt rushed.
Started out really good, but I lost interest and found it to be a bit boring from the second act onwards until the intense ending.
This is a MUST WATCH! Don't let the Nazis take over the world using false narratives.
I hope more people see it
They named "Nomadland" but it feels like a "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri - Part II: The Adventures of Mildred Hayes on the Road". I hope Frances McDormand doesn't end up locked in these kinds of projects forever.
I didn't get it.
It's neither poignant, enlifting, nor educational.
Think of it like an enforced and boring walkabout with someone you'd choose to avoid in real-life.
Kind of a mixed bag, I wanted to like this more.
I love how non judgemental it is, they could’ve easily taken the route to criticize the system and make a point about how these people need financial support from the state (like Sorry to Bother You, for example).
Instead, it presents a balanced perspective of both the struggles and charm of this lifestyle.
Also, the characters are interesting, the acting is great and it’s shot extremely well.
However, I find it quite baffling how nobody seems to want to point out the obvious flaw of this film: it lacks drama and .... well, a story.
There is no progression to the characters or the events in this film.
In other words, you could rearrange a lot of bits and it wouldn’t make a single difference.
As a result, the pacing kinda drags, and I started to check out halfway through.
This probably should’ve been a documentary instead.
5/10
To all of you who are disappointed because you expected so much more, since The Matrix became a cult sci-fi movie bla bla bla... That's precisely what this film is about: a fun critique to all the super serious sagas that are sucking up so much of our time, like Marvels, DCs and all the rest. And yes, to the original Matrix itself, which was really about the evolution of a transgender person, and not the serious transcendentalist stuff we want it to be. Just lighten up and don't take things so seriously, guys.
bs movie
