It has something of The Girlfriend Experience, but I liked that flick much more, cause it was more subtile and it didn't want to rase any emotions or empathy for the main character as Shame does and so the (emotional) emptiness of life just really got to you. McQueen is good, but there is always something missing.

What a horrible documentary! Mission Impossible meets Michael Moore. It was not about this important issue, it was about the heroes and the action. So selfcentered, sometimes even very idiotic! And there was not a single moment of art (if we forget about the horrible subject and focus on a movie as an art form). But still, the topic is very important and any such effort is worth an applause!

TRASHLICIOUS!

Fuck this was so promising, but the second half just looses it. Genius reptile scenes! Btw, any thoughts on that?

A lecture on how to make a typical drama in three acts (looser period; an "unexpected" turn into the winning street and an "unexpected" tide fail, but a moral win), how to use all the hollywood cliches you know and how to pack everything in an HC american dream/capitalistic ideology. Philip Seymour Hoffman is the best actor in the world; shame he is part of this crap:/

And now for something completely different ...

Herzog is crazy. He loves crazy people. He films crazy people. They are the product of this ill society. We are them. They are us. I just love how close I feel to the characters in Herzogs documentaries.

The first half was very promising, but then it just turned into the Silly Street with the elevator sceen. There were some big goofs that got on my nerves like the mask he didn't need to wear or why he turned his back to the bad guy at the end when it was obvious for both what will happen. I guess it's this thing I have with Refn - I see the great potential at the start but it slowly fades away

Nice trip to the dark side, but paradoxically it shows more of a bright side of humankind, since there is so much more behind it. But I guess it would be too disturbing to put the real deal out there - the movie would loose it's poetry. I hate the end, cause it's so disconnected. And if you don't know it yet: be high when watching!!

I love how simple and yet powerful it is. I was laughing and I was crying. And I was wishing all people/musicians would care about the world and the music this way. A film that preserves the spirit of the golden age of folk music.

I love the cartoon-like moments and the whole style of the movie. Great one.

We know it's coming and we're searching for the clues in the banal everyday life of Raab. There aren't many - we've been all there, nothing special. But there is this thin line ...

Best movie for a magical stoned night! Klept-ho-maniac killed me!

... the monologues are shallow and even if something seems a bit subtle he has to "say it out loud" at least three times. And this father-son relationship is one of the biggest cliches in depicting a family life.

We see numerous close-up shots of the light behind curtains or cloth, of children, of feet, of stairs etc. Using the same stylistic means over and over. And he depicts beauty with the most cliche beautiful things in life (women, children, butterflies, play...). The mother has no character at all, the story of the grown up brother (Penn) didn't add anything to the movie ...

It's official: Malick is the most overrated director ever. Generic, linear and general whole-life stories that don't go into any depth (like Days of Heaven), but he still tries to push us (with the chorus music and the wanna-be catharsic beginning/end that made me laugh from all the pretentiousness) to believing that this movie has something to say.

Ok, I have to give Morris the credits for trying to do something unconventional, but it really didn't work out. If you compare it to Lars and the real girl it didn't make it in the green zone of dealing with a sensitive theme with great humor and still not offending anyone. And at the same time strip a social discourse/tabu to it's bones and make it more understandable. Didn't laugh, didn't see any smartness in it.

I love 70s "new hollywood" movies and this one reminded me a lot of Midnight Cowboy, but it just didn't do it for me. It is like a sequel of events rather than a narrative and just too much of the happening is made without a good basis that could make it convincing (the start of their relationship, the sudden scarecrow like turn of Max or the gap between Lions condition in the end and the ending of the flick...)

It got two stars from me just because of the soundtrack. Except of the photography every other aspect of this movie really sucked.

Would never ever say that this is a Mendes movie! I hate all this undule characters they meet on their way. Also all the humor comes from this bizzarely over-the top situations and is pretty first hand. I missed more subtile hints on what a great and trusty relationship they have, cause like this it's just too concentrated with sugar dialogues and so I felt pushed to emphasize. A typical "one level" movie.

For what it is (a romantic comedy) it's pretty good since I didn't roll with my eyes all the time as usual and I even enjoyed some of the jokes.

Don't know who is more crazier, actually I think it's Herzog in whom I didn't find any human weakness like with Kinski who is a typical wonerable, unsecure attention whore who tries to hide his weaknesses in rage and aggression. But both are geniuses and it was a great documentary about them.

Damn, this looked so promising! The whole point of the story is focusing on a final revelation, but it just doesn't work since you know what it is from the start. The use of psychoanalysis and the explanations the movie gives are very obvious. I also got tired of the technique since he didn't developed it through the film, it just stays on one place-even using the same jokes or options the technique gives again&again

The form, scenography and type of homour are pretty neat for the first hour or so, but then you just get tired of it and wish for a quick end.

I love this movie. It is so much fun! The characters and little comical elements are very original and cute. And there is this subtile critic of capitalism which is powerful exactly because it's so overlayed with humour.

Haha I'm in this movie! Haven't seen it though!:)

Predictable, full of cliches, the feminist in me suffered deeply and the main theme of the quest for love comes out very banal and uncovincing. A big disappointment.

Wow! Hardly any movie that I've seen until now sucked so much as this one. Respect for that.

A very puzzly and beautiful movie that needs to be absorbed and interpretet in a very subjective way. I liked it's flow and the mixture of reality, dream and subconscious tricks. And I strongly dig the political tone to it! But I got bored a bit by the same methods and grips of the photography - close ups from behind and the side, static landscape shoots and the filming from a moving vehicle. To little to overused.

Amazing! Intense, mindblowing challenge for the brain and a tense anxiety that keeps your spirit unease for hours. He knows us to the bones and plays with us as God could do. Even his long shots of everyday situations and sounds make me unease. This movie has so many layers! The individual guilt,interpersonal alienation&deception,political&media critic, play with the audiance's expectations&conventions of cinema...
