No.
I absolutely adored this movie and already consider it a personal favorite, however when asked if I’d recommend it to the population at large I’d lean towards no because the level of violence may turn away female viewers looking for a standard rom-com and the romance may turn away male viewers looking for a standard action flick.
Yes.
The ‘found footage’ format has been given a new lease on life with this fast-paced and engrossing tale of teenagers who develop telekinesis.
Yes.
You may have heard of this Oscar favorite because it’s black and white and silent, but let me add it’s also an absolutely beautiful, heartfelt piece of filmmaking.
No.
Spielberg’s latest period piece is so old-fashioned and stuffy that it’s unenjoyable at best and unwatchable at worst.
Yes.
Brad Bird expertly directs this worthy addition to the series that admittedly lacks the gravitas of one or three, but makes up for it with some truly nail-biting action sequences.
Yes.
No doubt some of the novelty has worn off since the original, but that doesn’t stop this from being an immensely enjoyable romp with the great performances and thrilling style you’d expect.
No.
A clever concept is squandered in this science fiction allegory that could have been extremely effective given the current socioeconomic climate, but instead lacks both action and subtlety.
Yes.
The script, performances, and historical context are so strong it was able to captivate me throughout (even though it is about a sport that tends not to).
Yes.
Not every subplot really works, but the whole is better than the sum of its parts and Soderbergh succeeds in telling a story that stays with you long after the credits roll.
