True potential unrealised

[SoumikBanerjee1996 · 6/10 · 25 July 2023]

A technically affluent and thematically enriched feature that tries to initiate a handful of pertinent discussions on a variety of issues.

From deep-seated depressions that wear us down to inquiring into sexual orientations that can prove to be a critical juncture for a worried teenager living his/her/their lives in a confused state of adolescence.

While I wholeheartedly admire their heartiest intents, the messages they wanted to convey came to be too inexact and incomplete in a sense. Now, I advocate for subtlety, given it doesn't reflect badly in the final yield.

Nuance is pleasing, but only if you can express what you want to express with the required precision and coherence; otherwise, this same nuance could quickly become a nuisance!

No words.

What can anyone say after such an experience? I guess one can dream a review of this film. I wouldn't know how to write one. (The system here doesn't let me post this unless it's at last 150 characters... I only wanted to write the first line.)

Great surrealist film with lots to think about

[RickyFlambo · 10/10 · 26 April 2023]

This is a very nice surrealist-style film. It's not weird, it just presents ideas in a surrealistic, symbolic manner. The story is nice, and the visuals are outstanding. It made me think, which is what I like. Some of the action requires the audience to interpret what is going on and what it means. It is not like a Bunuel film, it is more symbolic, not a juxtaposition of social norms. This film is very much in the style of a lot of South American films - symbolism and dreamy sequences to tell a story with depth and meaning. I wish I knew where to stream it so I can watch it again. If you can find it, you might enjoy it. I thought it was one of the best films at the Film Fest where I saw it.

This Movie is WEIRD

[chenp-54708 · 8/10 · 20 April 2022]

Saw this back at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival.

Chilean cinema is something that I show be picking up on soon because this movie is really really WEIRD. The strangest movie I have seen this year so far. It felt like a weird acid dream. Director Francisca Alegria clearly is almost like the new Alejandro Jodorowsky at times as she is able to present weird visuals, weird narratives, interesting characters and some really weird dream like tones presented throughout this movie. I am really don't wanna say too much about this movie because this is the strangest movie I have seen. But I really love it.

Rating: A-
