Tonally a bit strange, in between comedy and absurdist sci fi, and not quite landing either. Pacing a bit off. But definitely an entertaining vision and the actors give some fun performances
Couldn’t get it out of my head that Robert Patttinson was doing an impression of Stevie from Sex and the City for 17
Beautiful, captivating, heartbreaking. The first person camera did not feel gimmicky at all, did a wonderful job crafting images and showing character through choice of gaze. Actor all did really wel. I did not see the 'twist' coming at all and the ending really shook me. The editing and flash forwards were also handled extremely well, reminded me of the documentary Time from a few years ago. Best thing I've seen quite a while
An absolutely breathtaking film about a metal drummer coping with losing his hearing. I was so engrossed from the first scene of explosive drumming until the last shot in pure silence I felt like I was holding my breath the whole time. The sound design is so unbelievably unique and absolutely crucial to placing you in and out of Ruben's world. Every detail of what sounds to show, what to distort in conjunction with the camera placement that felt so…
Could not stop smiling as I was watching this movie. Its all just so beautiful. The interior framing, the soundtrack, the colors, the slow motion, the quick editing between scenes, the circular narrative all contribute to the feeling that what we are seeing is a deeply painful repressed memory. The two leads are of course amazing, and are able to communicate so much even just by walking past each other on the stairs. I honestly think this film might be perfect.
