Dominion (2018)
Had to turn it off.
It became too upsetting to watch this, and it elicited such a visceral response in me that I couldn't finish it. I do eat plant based, for health reasons. But, even if that wasn't the case, I could not, after watching only the first fifteen minutes of this film, eat another animal and still consider myself human, someone with a conscience. It raises so many questions. The biggest question I have is what could turn someone into the type of monster it takes to even "work" in these facilities, to participate in the infliction of such torture on another living creature?
I will be finishing the movie because I think it's necessary to see. I will be telling everyone I know to see it. But, it's very hard sit through. The ten stars is because of Dominion's monumental importance and masterful straightforwardness. I have a feeling it will change many lives, human and animal, for the better.
Swept Away (2002)
This whole "Madonna can't act" bit got tired 20 years ago
I'm the first to admit when Madonna is bad in a film & she has released some stinkers (Shanghai Surprise) but this is far from her worst and there have been many, more commercially and critically accomplished actresses who've turned out worse films.
Swept Away was passable and has some funny and touching moments. The problem is it's Madonna and most people come to a Madonna movie with pre-conceived notions that render them incapable of being objective.
