And when I say boring movie, I mean it by giving only 1 star! It is not logical when some viewers say "what a boring film" and they evaluate it with 7/10! It makes no sense! So, we have 2 actresses in the main roles (I never understand why Tilda Swinton makes so much noice- she is overrated) with probles of solidarity. They are depressed (the one with serious base) and we watch for about 100 minutes something absurd. Ok, good director (I am not so sure...) but a movie for a good topic needs a different approach. It is not even deep. Just beautiful images and a huge amount of cliches! I felt deppressed not because of the topic of euthanasia but due to the shallowness of everybody involved in this film. Next, please!
I declare misled. I saw the trailer, I learned that Blanchett is playing in the lead-role (although lately I have been disappointed by her choices...) and finally I read the reviews of some ''objective'' imdb - critics of the film. And they tricked me. Reviews deify an idiocy that lasts almost two hours. They are singing the praises of a sleazeball shot in the desert, with a dark-haired kid with odd-colored hair playing the beastly guy from the Green Mile.... Blanchett is a nun who cannot digest that the strange little boy works miracles. The curious little guy also does incomprehensible nonsense, though. And time goes by, and nothing happens. But the reviews are exciting because...who knows? Boredom! Be objective, guys! The scores of 10/10 for this &''film'' is madness.
Deep yawn lasting one hour and forty minutes. After all, that's how long this thing, that appears as a film, lasts. What does he want to say? I'm not sure. I'll make an effort though. He wants to capture our boring, monotonous and sterile life. Working in an office where everything is done in a certain fixed way and the slightest variation stirs the stagnant waters of decent employees. Jon Hamm, otherwise a good actor, is the one who comes to change the balance. He monologues endlessly. He pauses in his natural dialogues to monologue to himself. And time does not pass. Wondering what you're looking at all this time? What is it that adds something new, something fresh? My fault for getting carried away watching the trailer. It will not happen again. Films like this will, of course, be made again. Countless such come out every day.
