Seize Them! (2024)
what did you people expect exactly?
I thought it was a very entertaining, cute, rough-around -the edges- crude but witty film.
EXACTLY what I expected, as it was Advertised as such!
I believe those who reviewed went in total ly dark to the type of story this was going to be... as for me, I have been waiting for Seize Them! For over a year! I knew it would be silly and crass and predictable, but I knew full well it would be vague, low budget, satirical and offer just enough laughs and smirks to keep me entertained. It's brilliant cast did exactly as they were expected to withut missing a beat, never straying from the expectation of the characters they were playing.
These low scores are disheartening, as it's clear nobody who watched and commented had ANY idea what type of film this would be. I wished for a Little more creativity myself, I admit, but I really did enjoy it and took it exactly for what it was.
Give it a chance if you need something unrelatable, historically suspicious (and not correct) with a VERY talented cast and laughd along the way (i admit, more chuckles and subtlety in the humour department as it's not laugh out loud jokes)
Good on them for making it.
It took me away, amused, for 90 minutes I don't regret. Watch it when you feel you need some levity as long as blood is not an issue for you (I find calling it GORYa bit extreme tbh) it's a comedy, lie back with your partner, appreciate the swearing (instead of counting how much they swear )and enjoy with lightheartedness the silly story to move you along for 91 minutes taking you away from the gut-wrenching reliaty-based and often depressing movies of our time as we live in a difficult period right now.
Give it a chance. You can always walk away. To me, it was exactly what I knew it would be, so i let myself get caught up and enjoyed it instesd of focus on the shortcomings. We need to laugh these days, and this was a deserving film as absurd and not deep as one might hope that gave me just that.. a break from the news with simplicity and a simple but interesting story.
Triangle of Sadness (2022)
pretentious and stomach-turning
This was pure garbage.
The acting, directing, editing, producing... well, it was all spot on!
The music causes malaise for the full 2.5 hours, which was the point by the way.
The structure of the script was very, very poor.
The social commentary (ALL this film was) is truly unnecessary... like we don't know the way the world works and that you'd rather be stranded with people who have had to struggle for a living than the wealthy (and the vapid) when their success is in boardrooms and not in the wild!
It was wildly appalling seeing the talents of thousands being wasted on such a stupid (and has-been, overdone 6 billion times) story of wretchedness and the uselessness of man against the elements.
Save yourself the glitterati patting each other on the back at palme d'or for their absolute depth (garbage.), and crack open a non-fiction book, check out Russell and Hobbes (philosophers of means that still got what this movie claims as innovative, or yeah read up about communism and socialism's roots and learn a little about macro and micro-economics instead). Or watch a documentary. Or Twilight (yeah, it's THAT deep). What UTTER GARBAGE.
Forgive this messy, unstructured (ah!) review but I'm still tasting bile for wanting to see something to the end.
Half the reviews, and I pray it is so, have been bought.
