Macaulay Culkin Eating a Slice of Pizza (2013) User Reviews

What the title says

[Horst_In_Translation · 4/10 · 31 December 2015]

This is "Macaulay Culkin Eating a Slice of Pizza", a short film from 2 years ago that runs for 4.5 minutes and shows us the star from "Home Alone" doing something against his hunger. He does not eat the full slice, probably he most have eaten something before already. He is sitting at a table, communicating with the camera by telling his name at the end. The pizza is ordered. This short film probably asks the question where does art stop, where does acting end? Is this still art? I must say it's a bit awkward to watch, not because Culkin is in his 30s here already, but because nothing happens and this is probably the intention. At least, it is not a pretentious film. You hear the title and you know what is going to happen and that is exactly what happens. Still not really worth the watch, even if it got me a bit in the mood for pizza too. Sounds like a Funnyordie video, but it's not. It's not funny either. Not recommended.

1/10 did not leave satsified

Gonna start off with saying that I love his previous works, but I have got to say this was incredibly dissatisfying, and I am genuinely disappointed. First off, he looks incredibly disassociated and looks like he's gonna start bawling any moment, is he in the right mental state to even be doing this extensive, violating documentary? Secondly, he keeps looking to his left, as if he's being held at gunpoint.....did he come out of this alive?!? Thirdly, at the end, he stares at us for a total of 50 seconds, and repeats something that sounds as if it came from a ransom demand, and then the voice of god bellows down the words "PIZZA, NEW YORK", I have never felt more terror in my 52 years of living. In some sick and twisted way, is this a commercial? Fourthly, and my biggest qualm, he didn't even finish the singular slice of damned pizza. He heavily, and I must emphasize, HEAVILY, poured pepper all over the pizza and even ripped off the crust, just to not finish it. As an Italian, I find this as a highly offensive action, as it is just a bare, sadly poetic, slice of pizza that did not get the justice it deserved.

Excellent Film - Culkin's Best Work Since Home Alone 2

[peter-barnett03 · 10/10 · 29 October 2014]

Excellent acting by Culkin. The storyline is riveting journey about triumph from beginning to end. The lighting, directing, producing, and marketing is superb. Really hope to get the director's cut to see the pepperoni pizza slice as well. Excellent acting by Culkin. The storyline is riveting journey about triumph from beginning to end.

Masterful Directing and Acting, The Greatest Cinematic Masterpiece in the History of the Entire Universe

[SquigglyCrunch · 10/10 · 8 December 2016]

Indescribable. That's what this is. Truly indescribable. And yet that's exactly what I'm going to do.

This long-shot, one take short film manages to invoke such emotion I can't help but shed a tear every time I see it. Not once does the camera turn off, truly testing the acting ability of Macaulay Culkin, the mastermind behind this glowing piece of artwork. Truly, this is a performance for the ages.

If you just watch it all the way through, trust me, you will see. Culkin captures the essence of emotion in this masterful performance. He portrays the most complicated of emotions without pronouncing a single word until the very end.

Truly this is the masterpiece we, as the human race, could never deserve. And yet here it is, here I am, beholding this masterful piece of cinema. This wonderful light amidst the darkness that is the filmmaking industry. Indescribable. Truly, deeply, indescribable.

Emotional Roller Coaster

[CoolDude86 · 10/10 · 13 May 2022]

After I watched this film, my perspective on life has changed completely. This is a one in a million film and if you haven't watched it yet you're missing out. I'm not going to spoil anything so watch now or miss out on a hidden treasure.

Must Watch!

[tinybirds-72788 · 10/10 · 11 August 2023]

One of the BEST movies of all time! I'm making this review spoiler free because you should really go into the movie without knowing anything.

What makes the movie so good is the dialogue and the sound design. Macaulay Culkin's performance in this movie is outstanding! You can really feel the raw emotion being expressed through his actions, with every bite of the pizza you feel like you're actually there.

The storyline is great too, I enjoyed all of the characters, especially Macaulay Culkin. I won't go too much into detail in case you haven't watched it yet, but the plot twist near the end is so shocking yet masterful. It really adds more to the characters and gives another perspective towards the plot.

Probably one of my favorite movies of all time. Better than A Space Odyssey and The Godfather combined. I was really blown away by the character's performances and the sound design. The composition and camera angles were stunning as well. I loved the colors used in the movie, truly masterful.

100/10, Comfort movie and my favorite movie of all time.
