MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
bob the moo The date stamp on this user comment probably indicates what finally got me around to watching this film. It was only a few days after Trump got sworn in as President – something that happened partly due to a campaign where he ran on the basis of his greatness as a businessman and how that is what the country needs (although this suggests his win was about him, whereas really I think it was more a matter of the DNC losing it rather than him winning it). Recent politics of course are not part of the film, but it does have an extra chill to it now, since it does show what he is like a businessman.What we see here is his ego and confidence front and center; demeaning and insulting the residents, riding his power for all it can get him, and generally being a boorish, classless type with no real consideration for the locals or their environment, other than him saying the right things in his usual way. The film doesn't really try to pin everything onto Trump, but it is very clear that he is very much in this deal and that the style of delivery is all him. Baxter contrasts that nicely with the people living with this development; I don't think he sugar coats them or paints them as saints – although the use of Local Hero is smart – instead they are just allowed to be themselves and that in itself is enough to make them look like saints next to Trump and his people.Technically it is not a great film. It is a bit messy in the structure, and the camera-work leaves a lot to be desired at times due to shadows, poor framing, and other such niggles. However most of Baxter's work is that of journalist and he does this well, and the nature of the film means the lack of polish can be more than forgiven. Anyway, the story it tells, and the impression of Trump that it leaves is what makes it work – and now that he is President, the film becomes that much more impacting, and hopefully will gain some more eyes as a result of his new job.
jlthornb51 An incredibly powerful documentary that strips Donald Trump bare and exposes him for who he really is. For decades Trump as been a joke but this film demonstrates clearly that the Donald isn't so funny. His assertion of sheer force of will might be admirable if one weren't a free person on the receiving end of it. Trump has contempt for all who oppose him and his favorite weapon are character assassination and the courts. He will sue over anything. Trump also believes anything is for sale and can be bought. This seems to currently include the presidency of the United States. Trump is a demagogue in public and knows well how to manipulate a crowd. However, in business he has only had a minor interest in honesty and decency and focuses primarily on personal gain. With an ego the size of all outdoors and a dark side that's deeply disturbing, Trump is profiled in this documentary with accuracy, insight, and frightening clarity.
aba139 This film is a documentary about how predatory capitalism stile, with the help of the government, effects people, environment and science.The best thing you can do to the wonderful profession of film making is: watch this film and give human decency, integrity, bravery, skill and modesty a chance to catch you.It's a great film. Every minute watching worth while. But don't keep the experience and your thoughts about it to yourself. We need to stop to give our attention and listening to people like Trump and this film made me realize that it is very important to shift what we have: attention, time, money and action to what we want more of.
foxrose This is an incredible story of how an egomaniac scumbag trampled all over people who had no way to fight back. What's worse, he was actively aided and abetted by the entire Scottish government, from the local politicians and local police all the way to the highest levels who knew full well that Trump was cheating and stealing over and over. Both he and the Scottish Government officials are sickening. NO lawyer stepped forward,NO politician had any attack of conscience, NO ONE of any influence at all stepped forward to help. Everyone was bought and paid for. You should not miss this movie.
