The Zone of Interest (2023)
A painted picture would have been better.
Seriously, you could have simply just painted a picture of a family in the backyard on a sunny day next to a tall concrete fence with a chimney in the background billowing smoke. If you are going to make a film about these characters...why not give them some emotional depth? Add some tension, add some colour ... this is a very cold film with very little to say that hasn't been said before and certainly said better. So why not juxtaposition what you are showing with other holocausts that have taken place or other slaughters in history? And if you want to really challenge an audience, why not include what is happening in Gaza now in this? I'll tell you why not, because you're not interested in challenging anyone whatsoever, you're just getting superficial accolades for handing in a film that challenges no one really. Well, the real challenge is to stay awake.
Vita & Virginia (2018)
Borefest
Rarely have I been so completely bored watching a film. It ended and the audience honestly seemed stunned. Motionless. How could you make a film about two interesting writers so boring and with such awful dialogue?
