The Five-Year Engagement (2012)
Not a comedy
I'm so confused by this movie classification as comedy when it is clearly a depressing farce of a film. There were a few jokes in the beginning that were quite funny but then the movie got darker and darker to the point that I had to turn it off. Some people said in reviews that there was some "truth" to it and I'm failing to see what they are referring to. Under no circumstances would any couple that reaches such a terrible place would ever reconnect again. There are so many corny sayings and moments that I found myself rolling my eyes over and over again. This is a terrible movie, don't waste your time. I'm so disappointed in you Jason!
London: The Modern Babylon (2012)
Long and confusing
The director said he had 6000hrs of footage to watch and as I watched the film at TIFF I felt that he was bogged down. Ironically footage was repeated! If you have that much, why would you show it more than once. Early footage fascinating. Film lost me post WW2 to 1980s then picked up again. Got confusing at times and jumped around. Expected focus on 1960s, such an amazing time for pop culture in London but instead the film focused on political side. No mention of the Beatles, realize they are from Liverpool but having British family I know they had a huge impact on those in London. Old woman stole the show! I wish she had narrated the film and taken us through the 100yrs.
