Steineded How sad is this?

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

khsooners On the surface this seems to be a thriller-like movie in the bright sunlight of Italy. Still, it won't work if you watch the movie like this. The film was made when the European refugee situation turned serious. And all the characters in their self-centered ways seem so far away from the real world. Once Rock rebels but now just concerned with their private problems - it's no coincidence that the star has lost his voice, her lover has to fight an alcohol problem and the Hawkes character is simply appalling. To offer some explanation to the police they are willing to throw some nameless refugees under the bus. Still, I have to agree to some of the negative reviews. The film is very long and very slow and obviously the protagonists are quite negative (which is the point of the film). I can't see much of character development which is mentioned in some reviews. These characters CANNOT develop anymore. They are stuck in their ways, which probably also the reason why the girl is crying at the end of the film. It is not a coincidence that the setting is Lampedusa, where many refugee boats arrived. But is this really helpful to hide the message when this topic is so big and important? As a classic "thriller", the movie is obviously not working (imagine what a veteran Hollywood director of the 1930s would have done with the plot! William Wellman or William Dieterle would have told the story in 10 minutes). So if you appreciate a subtle, indirect way of storytelling this might be a movie for you and as some positive reviews show, the movie works for many people.

merelyaninnuendo A Bigger SplashThe feature demands attention through stunning visuals that are shot beautifully and up beats the tone and the enthusiast of the characters and their individual tales. Addition to that, it scores majestically on terms of technical aspects like cinematography, costume design and sound effects. The concept is fresh, eerie and potential enogh to withhold the audience for complete two hours of its runtime. It is bold and not at all pretentious and the primary reason is its gripping screenplay, intriguing conversation and pragmatic characters that the tale revolves around. The adaptation is smart by David Kajganich that is supported by perfect editing. Luca Guadagnino; the director, has done a tremendous work on executing this stunning pitch and pulls it off with confidence on projecting this huge cast on screen. All the actors too, are in their A game and chips it all in and gives a stellar performance especially Ralph Fiennes and Tilda Swinton but doesn't get the support as anticipated by Matthias Schoenaerts and Dakota Johnsson who still needs some more work. The feature also derails somewhere in its final act and fumbles its way down a bit only to pick up for a tense climax. A Bigger Splash is prominent and neat splashing that may be easily forgetful after leaving the screen but until its running, it offers a thrilling ride.

Andres-Camara 1251/5000 When I started watching this movie, a few minutes later I came to the head that I saw some time ago, The pool, as I moved forward I saw that it was a new version and the first thing I thought it was, because if the Old I did not like, telling me that the remakes are usually worse, to see how this is. I later corroborated the situation.The movie does not make any sense. The attempt to put several films in one, several genres in one, is very bad for the director. It accompanies a soundtrack that is even worse.It is slow in time but it is also long and also, so it was necessary to do it if it was already made and was not good.The truth is that Tilda's role is complicated, pretending not to be able to speak, does not have to be easy. But otherwise, it has great complexity.I have frozen the camera movements. How can you make such bad moves.Photography never succeeds. During the day it is too light and at night it is not seen. Apart from forcing you to wear sunglasses, it does not add anything else.The address, telling that he does not realize that he is bored, the mixture of genres, that the planes are ugly, that the temple is bad, there is nothing more to say.What a way to throw the money.

clewis2666 Complete load of rubbish, masquerading as an art(y) film. Four characters, only one of whom is remotely sane, three of whom are both uninteresting and unpleasant. Tilda Swinton is her usual pretentious self, only voiceless. Mathias Schonaerts is handsome and quiet (thank goodness). Ralph Fiennes doing manic is the most irritating and pointless character I can remember on screen. No-one half civilised would stand him for as much as minute. The nymphet does what you expect nymphets to do. I despair of professional critics who go weak at the knees if they can describe a film as arty. Thank goodness for so many sensible ordinary viewers who tell it like it is.
