Sunshine & Clouds

i hate 90% of his films but this one ...touched me...
I'm actually fairly repulsed by this movie. Perhaps it will take me a second viewing or extensive background reading to get over the apparent non-issue that was her rape, but I actually don't care about a single one of this film's storytelling merits at this point.
pleasantly surprised! genuine and humble.
I don't think Kirsten is charismatic or interesting enough to carry a movie like this. All that I get from her is dreariness and disdain for everything. Had her character been more compelling, the glacier pace would have been worthwhile. I kind of just felt like this film wasted my time.
I guess during the 2nd half I didn't feel I was wasting my time, as visually it was amazing. The calm of it and such, but I didn't like that Kiefer Sutherland (I don't remember the character's name sorry lol) killed himself. Oh, yeah, Kirsten Dunst was a bit off of the character's intentions. But i gotta see this again, once is not enough.
My friend told me to watch this when I had my wisdom teeth taken out when I was 16. This is seriously one of my favourite movies of all time, hahahaha. I will never not enjoy Con Air.
Pretty disappointed. I think it would have been more effective had his sister not attempted suicide and rather just left, making good on her threat to let him languish in isolation. Also, am I supposed to put a spoiler alert or something? Sorry. A lot of the film seemed to glorify his sex addiction, which really didn't seem so much an addiction with debilitating effects as simply a liberal just of hookers.
I am suspicious every time I encounter a character that I wholly dislike because--for me--it tends to be a sign of poor characterization. Both Lucy and her husband were really flat, and I despised them both. But there is something really haunting and wonderful about Martha's development. My favourite scene is probably right after Martha administers the "cleansing" drink to the newest cult member.
I left the theatre feeling awesome.
Overall, I'm left pretty indifferent. The humour in this movie was the most compelling thing about it. The mini-golfing scenes are my favourite. "You win." Heavy rain.
"I feel like being openly despicable." To be honest, I really wasn't sold on this until right after Kate vomited everywhere. For whatever reason it really picked up for me after that. Adore this film.
This was really boring.
Cute but grating at the same time.
I gotta be honest I fell asleep at least twice. I don't know, I went after dinner, that was probably a mistake. Then the dinner scene felt... like it didn't belong. Maybe I am terrible at reading film, but I didn't get too much out of it. And on the surface, it wasn't a terribly moving experience either.
I'm the faculty lifeguard at the pool.
I had a hard time getting through it the first time and I honestly resented it a little. During the second viewing, I suppose I understood what I was getting into and I absolutely loved it. Maybe it's not the most tightly put together film, but it satisfies something in me that I really needed. The script is beautiful, sad, and wonderfully humourous.
I'm surprised by how much I liked this. I cried during Steve's cameo. Because it's Steve.
Natalie was wonderful, she was the only thing that brought this movie to life for me.
I don't really know why I love this movie but I think it has to do with the fact that every time I've felt really bad about my unemployment I think of Winona Ryder's interview at the fast food joint and I magically don't feel as bad.
There is so much that is beautiful about this film, including the exposition, and the entrance of the ghosts. I really lost focus once they ventured to the cave, and I really couldn't reabsorb myself at all after that. I lost focus of the film in its entirety so I had a hard time deciding whether or not I liked it as a whole. The ending might take more understanding on my part.
Haha, this title is amazing but I definitely lost interest about thirty-five minutes in and couldn't finish it.
I know it's because I went into this with low expectations based on the premise and what I'd read about it, but I did enjoy it. I find it hard to believe that it's a real documentary, but I almost don't care? It's a light movie that for me was easy to watch. The camera work didn't even bother me, I've seen much worse. I don't know how much deep human psychology is happening but I don't mind.
I'm on a half-hearted journey through Woody Allen movies to understand the world's love affair with this man. I know it's Allen's screen persona that bothers me and I try so hard not to base my judgment solely on that. While I didn't find this boring, I'd be hard-pressed to watch it again. I suppose it's a genre that just doesn't appeal to me.
I haven't been on MUBI in ages but I signed on just to favourite this film. This is the most wonderfully executed movie I've seen in a long time. Subtle, haunting, sincere, and I agree with the poster below -- definitely changes your life.
Everything about this movie makes me want to curl up and hide in a dark forest dwelling for the rest of my life, but it's worth seeing for the valley girl scene.
I love this short so much that I have to comment again.
I just feel like I might have something better to do.
"The closer you come, I think, to another human being, the more completely mysterious and unreachable that person becomes."
I've been searching for weeks for the name of this movie! You really have to be in the right mood to enjoy this film; it is rather slow and indeed, not very much happens. It's more of a journey than a story.
Maybe it's just the way my imagination works, but this is still one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.
Let's smoke pot and explore some issues but not really.
