Started watching initially because of Britt Robertson and stayed because of Susannah Flood (Kate Littlejohn)
Definitely the most beautifully constructed body of work of the year. This aesthetic, wonderfully directed and edited piece of video keeps it compelling from the very start to the end, as Mr. Jenkins proves for the first time he is a genre virtuoso, whose screenplay is plaintively artful and remains outstanding all over the film, a combination that delivers a masterful, at times unsettling filmmaking of immaculate ecstasy. Allow me to say something short and simple as it should be: this — ladies and gentlemen — is the movie of the year. This, is the story of a lifetime.
This reminds me a lot of David O. Russell's last film, The Fighter, which was also very plain and tedious, and you get no connection from the lead characters. You don't really care.
Half way through I thought about turning it off and finishing it an other time, but I managed to pull through the extra hour and it did get better luckily.
I don't understand all the hype surrounding Jennifer and Bradly in this movie. The best acting came from The Great Robert De Niro. I'm not saying they were bad or anything, but I just couldn't connect with them or believe them in any kind of way. I'm guessing this comes down to the awkward dialog and writing.
There were a few funny scenes, but all in all it was pretty boring and uneventful. It's a decent movie, but nothing to go crazy over which a lot of people are doing.
Having just watched the film, I gotta say: if this doesn't make you disgusted with how our government has treated not only its own people but other countries' civilians, then nothing will. Just a note: Republican or Democrat, both parties contributed to this surveillance disaster! I'll end the rant by saying this movie is good, and the ending was incredible, but has a lot of slow parts. With that, the only fair way to end this: Pardon Snowden Already, Obama.
I can't believe I've had this show in my library for more than a year and I've only recently started watching it... One of my biggest mistake regarding tv shows...
This show is just amazing! You just care about all the characters, nothing is black and white, a character you hate one instant can become your favorite in an episode time, you can go from laughter to tears in a matter of minutes. The stories are so well written they just seem so real. And the actors are just perfect. I don't think there is one I don't like, not event one with room for improvement. This is one of the best casting I've seen in a lot of time.
Everyone should just watch it, it is one of the best show I've ever seen and I've seen a lot of them.
And I'm normally not a big fan of tv shows set in the past.
It's really hard after watching it to go back to newer and lighter shows. They just seem dull...
I am very amused by the annoyance experienced by the two other comments on here. Complete disagree. Love this show!
A surprisingly gripping show. Highly recommended.
Offbeat comedy thriller is enjoyable to watch, helped in part by its unusual characters and off the wall dialogue.
Superb Movie. World is hard and you have to give your best to survive. 9/10
Bit boring.
It is not all about dialogues
A movie that has no special surprise or clue, but the movie itself isn't bad.
it's a feel-good, heartwarming movie for a good afternoon.
And Scarlett looks fantastic ;)
7/10
This feels more like a rant than a review, nevertheless - The testimony of this series and its implications are disturbing. RANT: Isn't it time society dismantles the cult of celebrity that drives our culture (lest you feel exempt, it is not just the folly of our young - adults put a reality TV celebrity in the White House!). Parents talk with your children about their heroes and teach them how to identify/decipher a brand or a public persona to separate it from the person. It is so important that we remember that, regardless of their bursts of maturity, teens are biologically children and need guidance and protection until their natural facilities are matured. Also, official agencies and populous movements have power, so we need to be wise enough to weigh the testimony and act with social responsibility, according to the evidence (for example - Mute R. Kelly.) I truly hope this important documentary will bear fruit to protect or rescue the helpless. For an update on the response since the documentary aired, follow >https://www.thecut.com/2019/01/what-happened-to-r-kelly-after-documentary-timeline.html< (they promise to keep it updated as things change) END RANT. I give this series an 8 (important) out of 10. [Documentary Series]
For me a powerful moving film on so many levels. The story and plot, the actors all top notch Julianne Moore and Michael Shannon as always fill their characters and the screen with their roles. The support all add to this really showing the emotional tears between what they know is right and their assumed responsibilities.
I'm sad I missed it in theatres but I may have ended up crying in public so at least I did that at home.
This is just stupid. The only thing I found amazing about the whole thing was that I watched it all! I kept waiting for something intriguing to happen... and it just ended.
every single "found footage" style has people saying that ; they are either tiered of it, or don´t like it / understand it.
It´s me that don´t understand why you guys bother. i mean, i don´t like musicals,so I don´t watch them ( if for some reason im forced to see one, i surely will not bash it for obvious reasons) .
Found footage is here to stay. Either you like or or not. I love them. some are bad, some are good others extraordinary. a bit like all genres and sub-genres ;)
Just started watching this, Kelseys' voice gives a new dimension to his superb acting.
Connie is also an excellent actress, you can see her facial expression subtly change everytime she's alone with Tom.
And the camera work is just superb as well.
A brightly-colored fantasy tale revolved around dreams, treated with horror elements. It's strange, hypnotically bizarre, emotional, heartwarming, a lot spookier than anticipated, a completely fun ride from start to finish. It is a delight to even look at! The color palette and visuals of this film are the strongest aspects but the narrative is pretty decent as well. I'm obsessed with the colorful and imaginative set design, costumes, and stop motions. The concept is also very unique and original. It’s certainly an odd film that's comfortable in its own absurdity. Not only does it stick to it, but it does it in a way that feels natural and organic to the world it has created. I love the characters and it perfectly portrays the emotions desired. It's just so beautiful that there are some scenes that's just on loop in my mind right now. I definitely recommend.
So, in the end Strobel couldn´t disprove the basis for the christian faith therefore he drops everything, accepts it as fact, and converts. I wouldn´t go as far as saying this story is propaganda but it surely left me with an aftertaste. Yes, I am an atheist but I have no problem with believers. To each his own. But I have never in my life tried to convince someone who believes that he is wrong.
The movie itself was OK, that is it is well made. The side story with the innocent cop shooter could have been another movie itself. Vogel did a good job while the others had not many screen time to shine.
I loved this show but am glad they ended after a single season. I don't think they could have gone much further and kept it funny.
i just watched this movie for the second time and it's still fantastic
I was impressed for a 3rd installment it was really good & the 3D was awesome!!
How can it be simple yet that powerful? Easily one of my favorites this year.
not a comedy. not a sci-fi... i should have learned with starship troopers that silly sci-fi sub-genre is not for me... 4/10.
I was really looking forward to this and wasn't dissapointed.
A great movie about two personalities who couldn't be more different and yet so much alike.
I'd like to point out that this movie is trying to call itself a "comedic, horror", But after seeing this movie, the only comedic horror that you've been viewing, is M. Night Shyamalan's movie career.
This was just painful. I would have loved to been there when this story was pitched, by M Night
i own all the movies on vhs and now the trilogy on blu-ray and it is truly amazing. this is my favourite movie of all time since i was a kid, and you can hold me to it.
Prefered it when they called it Total Recall 2070, but not bad.
