Beckett (2021)
Arthouse vs Netflix
Too mainstream for arthouse and probably too arthouse for Netflix. I wanted to like this but the story was too shoehorned and the acting bland.
Some Like It Hot (1959)
Unpopular opinion: this movie is dated and unfunny
I tried to like Some Like It Hot since this movie appears on so many lists and it's a classic. Someone wrote in the reviews "Some like it not". I'm one of them.
1917 (2019)
Constrained and pointless
The first 20 minutes of this film are great. But then the trick of the one shot wears off and leaves us with a movie that is constrained and has nothing to tell us. It all feels like a cheap video game. There are so many elements of the story that are contrived: booby trap set off by rats, plane crash right into the two guys, milk in a bucket while everything is destroyed, sniper missing target but getting hit himself, stupid germans only, rapids and water fall in the North of France, singing soldiers within distance of enemy, trees in the middle of nowhere, trucks appearing in no mans land, destroyed town without rubble, but chiming, and countless more. It's like the director is testing us how far he can go with stupid made-up scenes. Most of them are not even necessary to tell the story. Even the landscape feels like an unreal CGI world. Dialogue is often boring and redundant. Really disappointed with this movie.
Square One (2019)
Unwatchable
Don't believe the reviews here, this is a really badly made documentary.
Uncut Gems (2019)
Spot on reviews here lol
All reviews here are correct. The good ones and the bad ones. This movie is a mess and you can like it or hate. My wife hated it, I liked it very much.
Arctic (2018)
Frustrating
We found this movie tiresome and frustrating. Although the setting is fantastic and the acting great, the story feels tedious, repetitious and rather boring. Yes, there is not much happening, hardly any talking and they are lost, that's the point, but "All is lost" told this kind of story so so much better.
Lady Bird (2017)
Overrated
I do not understand all the praise. In most parts the story and characters feel shoe-horned, un-developed and shallow. Lady Bird's irrational teenage behavior is without any consequences and it all turns into some sort of feel-good movie. My own teenage kids were unconvinced.
The World's Most Extraordinary Homes (2017)
Unbearable Caroline Quentin
Would be a good show if only this annoying lady kept her mouth shut. I stopped watching this, couldn't hear any more S O S O E X T R A O R D I N A R Y.
