I dont think its worth taking the gamble of a full price movie ticket unless you are absolutely dying to see it. But def recommend if anyone is a lil curious for sure stream it or rent it on vod. But for most people i feel like it will be a total waste of a full price ticket.

It's exactly how I feel and I'm sure it's not far from the truth. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a time limit on the funding or something, so they just phoned it in.

Hi Joseph & Nick!👍🏼Thanks for the heads up and review.❤Joseph you're my favorite movie reviewer and always give the best descriptive details and Nick you're an expert on movie history details and actors names and characters.❤Watching the trailer numerous times and seeing the purple loud Dodge, it didn't make any sense. I had a feeling after watching the trailer the movie was going to be pretty off the wall, bizarre and twisted. Joseph, after listening to what you had to say, you're absolutely correct.🎆

I worked on this film - the script goes into slightly more detail regarding character thoughts, symbolism of items & setting, etc. I think a lot of Yorgos’ filmmaking leans into the mystique of it all - he wants you to analyze the films on your own & come up with your opinion on what it truly means. One can also look into various Greek mythos and see similar themes that are also within these three stories (similar - not exact). Hopefully people give it a shot & form their own opinion of the film, even with poor reviews. It certainly won’t be for everyone. I’m still looking forward to it though! Also the person who played Dr. Evans (the psychiatrist is story 2) is my friend - he’s actually 36. He’s older than Emma Stone. He does look to be in his 20s though!

How do you feel about the violence and sexual content in the film? Do you feel it served a deeper purpose, or do you feel it was just one of those shock tactics he used to grab the audience’s attention? Personally, I think the film is kind of fucked up and vile, like fundamentally vile. I saw it earlier today and have never left the theater so angry in my entire life. I may sound like a Karen but I’m a black dude in my early 20s who happened to have found some of his character writing, especially for his black characters, to be very poor.
@user-zj9cp2ml8w 2 күн бұрын
It is a great movie! Yes You are right there are themes of myths and folks tales. Any detail is for a reason. There are even sore reference to Poor Thinks. In the first story Defoe was the "God" father and that what he is again! In all three stories there is the theme of pregnancy-kids and death...so many things you have to connect and think.

From my overly artistic interpretation, based only on your review and familiarity with a few of his other films, he seems to have a recurring motif about control. Almost all of his films are about control and it sounds like so are the vignettes in this film. "Kinds of Kindness" makes me think of love (different kinds of love), which I think this film explores, but specifically (as a play on words), pavlove (I think that's the through-line). Defoe's character might represent the controller/conditioner (or the bell in the Pavlove Experiments). I wonder if the vignettes satirize our conditioning to enjoy control, and sometimes enjoy thinking we have power in this type of system--because, ironically, it seems like that's what we're hungry for (if we can't get affection, appreciation, respect, acknowledgment, etc.). Also, I can see, how Defoe's character can represent different abstract concepts like capitalism (or other economic/political systems) in part 1 (like a broken racket, as in "dishonest scheme") don't know what his character was like in part 2, and religion/community in part 3. As someone else mentioned below in the comments, it sounds David Lynchian. Is that the vibe you guys got too? I think Emma Stone and the driving and dancing at the end sounds to me like mocking humanity's behavior toward technology. We have the power of life and death but behave so cavalier and recklessly that we end up doing more harm than good. All that being said, I agree. Even if there are interesting aspects to explore here, it doesn't mean it was done well...have to wait until I see it. But, regardless, the conversations you have in all your reviews always inspire me to watch the film. Thank you for your reviews!

I think that’s his most accessible film. Even though it has fantastical elements, it’s a pretty simple revenge story told in the style of a Greek tragedy. Yes, all the characters are dead pan, but it works for the film. All of his other films are just too strange for the average viewer.

I hated The Lobster 🦞 I might check out Poor Things since he didn't write it and you both enjoyed it. Heard he changed the ending tho which is too bad because it makes more sense. I'm not sold on this one but I can see the appeal for the actors to play different characters in one project. It must have been a fun challenge. I do like the cast a lot but a movie snob friend told me to choose the movies I watch by the director not the actor for consistent level of quality so I'll wait for streaming to give it a peek. Speaking of multiple roles in a film, have you guys seen Cloud Atlas? I really liked it. Ambitious project. Not sure they hit the mark on everything but they absolutely gave it 110% effort. I was impressed.
