Tár (2022)
A movie that should have never been made
Some movies are without a point. When the subject is preventing the viewer from suspending disbelief. This is a prime example of such a movie. The rave reviews and accolades are infuriating. This movie is a spit in the face of women, lesbians and survivals of sexual abuse. To take such a sensitive topic and treat it in such a tactless way should be scorned and rejected. Instead, old men are falling over themselves praising it. For a straight white middle aged man to invent such a character, for a straight white middle aged woman to impersonate it, without either of them, or anyone else, powerful enough to stop the process, realising just how wrong it is to portray a woman, a lesbian, in this way, makes me sad and very angry. I can't do much but I leave this review to discourage people from watching this movie that should have never been made.
AWOL (2016)
Worth re-watching
A very well done film. Surprisingly so given its very low budget. Excellent acting and cinematography. The atmosphere draws the viewer in and the characters are very personable and carry the story very well. A hidden jam of a film.
Supernova (2020)
A Very boring movie....
This movie is a waste of time. Very superficial presentation of huge topics. Love, grief, impending death... it seems like the person who made this film didn't have experience with any of these.... An excellent film about life with dementia is The Father. Same topic top class story telling.
Black Mirror: San Junipero (2016)
A magical experience. A true gem.
Like others said, this may just be the best episode of any show ever...
When it ended, I was left feeling lucky to have watched it. A feeling I don't remember recently having watching TV... Black Mirror is different, it has an original premise whereby technology is bound to dehumanise us, destroy, for better or worse, every last bit of beauty, kindness, mystery, humility, privacy, and other things we now still take for granted.
This episode stands out as a celebration of how people/love/humanity is essentially powerful and good, and has the potential to have the upper hand over the dark forces of technology...
2016 was such a dark year, it was nice to end it with such a bright gem of a story. Thank you.
