Anatomie d'une chute (2023)
Like what's even the point?
The making of this movie is surreal. Composition, very good. Acting, excellent. Dialogues, as real as it gets. But there's no point to it all. 2.5 hours of run time and there's no mystery, no suspense. It's not a psychological (or any kind of) thriller. It's just drama at best. Yes there is attention to detail, there are scenes which are so real. But they just did not do enough with it. The story is too simple and predictable that all the good work got diluted in a 2.5 hour snoozefest which could have been a whole one hour less. What a waste of performance and screenplay. I must however admit Sandra huller is at her best in this.
Sita Ramam (2022)
What a waste of two good characters!
They had two good characters in hand, but they chose to waste them with unwanted agenda peddling and appeasement. Could have been a simple yet great love story without the condescending Bollywood type preaching in matters that doesn't concern the love story at all. Taking liberty of undermining Indian army (but appeasing the Pakistani army) in order to glorify your lead characters is just unacceptable. This preaching attitude of directors and writers is ruining the movie experience off late. People who do not know about Kashmir shouldn't venture to show their version of "truth", specially when the movie doesn't need that narrative for it's purpose.
Making is also not that great with harsh transitions between scenes. Except the lead characters, all other characters are non relatable and less believable. Rashmika continues to be ordinary on screen. Only saving grace is probably the music.
All the positive reviews are either paid or biased. I've definitely seen much better movies from the same industry.
Kesari (2019)
Like watching a snail move up the steps!
You really feel the entire lives of these soldiers, not because of the acting or story, but because of the pace. The duration of the movie feels like eternity with no content. The performances are ordinary and forgettable, dialogue writing is not upto the mark, screenplay is boring.
I have no clue why Parineeti Chopra was in this movie, doesn't have a role. The drama and emotions feel forced. Highly passable movie.
Bhoot Police (2021)
What a waste!
Terrible story, terrible dialogues, terrible comedy and insanely terrible acting. Looking at the IMDb rating on this, I thought it should be watchable. Saif Ali Khan is pathetic in his role, Arjun Kapoor anyway doesn't set any expectations. Both female leads are hard to watch. The ghost buster concept can't get any worse than this.
Malgudi Days (2020)
What a disaster!
Seriously, I cannot understand the positive reviews for this one. The story is just ordinary. Performance pathetic. No one has done their job well including the lead. May be 1 or 2 songs were good, but otherwise it was a snooze fest. Miss this one and you won't lose a thing. I really want to see good movies from Kannada film industry, can't just blindly support recycled trash like this.
