Victoria (2013)
Underrated film for several reasons
I almost did not watch this film because of its low rating at IMDb. Luckily I watched the trailer and I gave it a chance.
There are several psychological reasons why the rating of this film is so low. The first one is obvious: the tempo of the film is low and most spectators are accustomed to American story telling with short shots, many close ups and dramatic exaggeration - this film does not satisfy such taste.
The second reason has to do with the content of the story. Basically the story-line has to do with unsatisfied desire of the two main characters in the film. My take is that it must be frustrating for the average viewer to watch a movie where the characters of the movie are not able satisfy their desire for love and sexual satisfaction.
Finally, what can be frustrating as well, is the fact that the film has not a happy ending.
However, I think that the film deserves a better rating as it is a really beautiful epoch film. If you are going to watch it, just don't expect that it provides much action. It doesn't.
L'avenir (2016)
There was no point in the movie
I went to see the film, because I often like French films and also noticed that the rating at IMDb was not that bad.
When watching the film, I was expecting a turn of events that would give the film some meaning, but I expected in vain. Nothing such happened and I could not grasp why the film was made in the first place - perhaps only because it had received funding?
I gave the film 6 points out of 10, because the acting and filming was good and the characters in the film were sympathetic. However, the manuscript was weak and the director lacked vision.
I left the movie theater somewhat disappointed.
