The Trap (1966)
Beautiful Scenery, Great Acting, Unconvincing Story
I am frankly surprised by all the 9 and 10 star reviews here. Seems many people saw this when they were young and it made a big impression.
The cinematography IS lovely and the locations stunning.
The acting by Tushingham and Reed IS extraordinary and carries the film.
But the story struck me as contrived, and unconvincing, especially the denouement. Despite the great acting, I could never quite believe the actions of the main characters.
All Is True (2018)
Wonderful, Moving and Beautiful
Superb acting (of course). Exquisitely beautiful cinematography and design values. (The lighting is perfect - candles or daylight at the tall windows.)
I also thought the script was excellent--deep, true, meaningful. I find it hilarious that so much of the negative reviews of this film focus on "historical inaccuracies" or "anachronistic sexual politics." Wasn't there once a great writer who modified the facts in his historical writings to make the stories dramatically powerful and appealing to a contemporary audience? Who was that? Oh, yeah. SHAKESPEARE!
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
No!
Really? A super hero epic in which the villain wins, kills half the Universe, and The End?
Words cannot express my disappointment in wasting these 2.5 hours. Excuse me while I scatter into dust.
