1/10
I Didn't Like Any of That
12 September 2021
"If you do not have a minimum of EMOTIONAL intelligence you'll hate this" "probably the best movie of the year" "This movie made me so emotional. " "melancholic quality, serene camerawork, relaxed editing, unhurried pace & intimate score." "This film is an absolute masterpiece" "Beautiful, deep and meaningful." "This affected me in ways it had no business doing." "Pig is going to make you cry a lot" "A film for film lovers. For story lovers. For people who love and have possibly found pain in it." "This film utterly floored me." "Masterclass in filmmaking" "must-see for chefs and foodies" "In all honesty, I couldn't really find any glaring flaw in this movie" "One of the most profound essays on humanity in the form of cinema" " they didn't understand what the film was going for"

My turn. (put's on EMOTIONAL intelligence hat) Glaring flaws alert because I understood the film. I was relatively interested in this movie after watching the trailer but after watching Redlettermedia's review I was really excited to see this. Instead, I'm going to summarize all the 1 star reviews. This film is boring, incredibly boring, utterly boring, pretentious, unrewarding, nonsensical, dreary, pointless, dreadful, annoying, artsy, deceptive, odd, tedious, slowest, snobby, pseudo-philosophical, disappointing, pointless, overrated and bewilderment for how anyone could give this movie a high rating. Yeah, I hated this film as well. It reminded me of 'My Dinner with Andre". Just simply unwatchable. I found Alex Wolff's character so over the top and purely insufferable. Definitely a movie for the emotion "Notebook" crowd. I'm sure you and your wife will love this. ( Throws EMOTIONAL intelligence hat in the garbage) Definitely not for people like me. Sorry but if you enjoyed this movie we probably aren't going to be close friends. Song time.
