The Blessing Bracelet (2023)
Is this what Americans like?
I'm not religious, so maybe I am biased in reviewing a faith based film. But on the other hand, reading all the other reviews here, I see all of those writing them are biased 'cause of their religious believes.
Lets be honest. This is the cheesiest film out there. The son of the main actress isn't real. He gives ubrealistic compliments to his mother and the mother's new boyfriend. It just doesn't feel real.
At first I thought the film was some sort of a joke or satirical flick, but I soon realized it was actually for real.
But, hey, just keep reviewing films like this at a staggering 6.9 and IMDB will totally lose it's credibility in the future.

"Touching" - Who could not love this one?
This flick is as touching as it is intouchable.
I rated it a ten and keep in mind that it didn't catch my eyes nor ears in the beginning. However, the overall feeling I'm having after having watched this rather lengthy masterpiece; is a calm and thoughtfulness that I haven't felt since I watched the almost six hour long Italian film, La meglio gioventù.
One would think that the main two characters, Philippe and Driss, had been living together for 20 years before the recording of this movie. The chemistry between the two of them is something extraordinary. Something intouchable.
Together, they complement each other in a way that is unusual in today's films. Driss, who embodies a "'pragmatic'" African french youth with lots of temperament and a great deal of emotional luggage. Philippe, being in the state that he is, can't use his body language the way that Driss can. He has to rely on his facial expressions. Something he is mastering very well.
I didn't want the film to end. I wanted it to continue as a TV series, one can come home to and watch after a stressful day at work.
I don't want to say anything more about this lovely 112 minute long touching movie without spoiling the experience for the ones that still haven't seen it.
But, who could not love this one? Yours sincerely /Kristoffer
