I wish I could get my 20 minutes back. It was set up well, the acting was good, and the actors were noticeable. The story line had premise. Advertised as though it would chill me to the bone... I'm hot under the collar after that. I have no idea what this was meant to be about; the only inclination I even had that it was the end of the "film" was that she was dressed better and the music changed. I did film studies so I get metaphors, and I don't understand this. This was like the first 20 minutes of what may have been a decent film. It isn't wrapped up, so don't waste your time. Or do, and review it so I know what I just watched!

The Minimalists: Less Is Now
(2021)
Good intention, terrible presentation
8 January 2021
Really enjoyed this as it began, but the presentation and way this is "performed" is ridiculous and tremendously off-putting. It's a documentary about them, much more than it is about minimalism. Less is more; throw away the useless things, and feel the calm in the clarity of a clear space. There you go
All Roads Lead to Rome
(2015)
Half watch, or don't watch
19 February 2016
This is handleable to watch when you're in the mood to half-watch something. I watched it half whilst working and still followed it, without subtitles when there's odd conversations in Italian - it's that empty and predictable. I love SJP so I am really disappointed in this. Every bit was predictable, I guessed the relations, the start, middle and outcome. The soundtrack is appalling. It's actually the first thing that put me off the film. And I can't believe that I heard the girl's tattoos being described and defended, in 2016! I'm reviewing it with about 10 minutes left - and I know how it's going to end. Don't bother until it comes on TV and you're hung over or sick and worried about falling asleep in front of the box - because you won't miss anything.
