A gloomy movie in a light and light atmosphere, a kind of "pink thriller". Contradictory and with some flaws, but overall it is an interesting and non-trivial story of revenge and self-destruction, told with some talent. With the audience in the end it could have been tougher.
Well, too naive and cinematic attempt at a revenge thriller on the topic me2. In addition, it is absolutely tasteless filmed and staged. If not for Mulligan (in an atypical, by the way, role) and slightly correcting the situation for the third act, it would be bad. And it’s just mediocre.
Interesting and dynamically presented current topic. In the middle, the plot sags and turns out to be something like a cheap melodrama, but manages to quickly normalize. There are no absolutely positive heroes here, but all men are clearly exposed as bastards. Although, I may have thought so.
A very not bad thriller about a girl who kills (or not) men, and she has reasons for this. The main plus is the presence of fanservice. The main disadvantage is all the violence happens behind the scenes.
Great sound, good picture and basically visual style, but… too much feminism and not enough common sense. The director directly hates the whole masculine gender and makes all men drink coffee with their saliva. Art, his mother. Mulligan is scary, yes. Oscar in the furnace.
Very non-standard, capable of surprising, but some kind of disappointing psychological under-thriller. 6.5 out of 10
The theme of today’s topic has allowed the average film to get to the Oscars. A film that many will forget in a year. The only positive is the performance of Carrie Mulligan. The script is pretty lame.
An important topic and a strange implementation. The ending is surprising, although, if you think about it, in almost every film about revenge, this very revenge is destructive for the hero. I didn’t know if I liked the movie or not, but it was fun to watch. Only it’s not a thriller, the suspense was out of place.
Would have been a good genre thriller, but sank under the weight of loaded ideology
A film that will always try to show you that it is not what it is. Yes, and it will not end as you expect. And it consists of several pieces, united by a history of revenge, and they do not fit together well, ruining the rhythm and killing interest .Movie that showed promise, but
I liked the film, the outcome was unexpected, pleasant directorial techniques and a beautiful main character. Definitely worth viewing.
Emerald Fennel 's excellent feature-length debut as a screenwriter and director. The film is thin and balanced. As soon as you start to think that the pace has dropped and the twists are over, the next one shoots. It’s hard to watch, but necessary. There is too much truth in this. 7.5.
The movie was shot "in its time" and fits perfectly into the current agenda. In general, this is a collective image of many clichés that, unfortunately, real victims of violence face.
Interesting topic. The beginning is very promising, and the closer to the final, the more frustrating.
feminism is no longer needed, they said, and the comment below only confirms the opposite, and the film is not bad, touches on social topics, but at the same time light, bright and with moments of comedy. Bo Burnham and Carey Mulligan are good
The screenwriters either have no talent or brains, the opening implied an acute psychological thriller, but what came out was a disgrace. Everything is in pieces, not logical, not tasty, boring and primitive. I couldn’t think of a dumber ending.
Mulligan did an excellent job, but her character evokes conflicting feelings. Like the film as a whole – an ambiguous ending, an ambiguous combination of plot and visuals, an ambiguous main idea. An interesting experiment, but the Oscar was nominated rather "for lack of fish", according to fem. quota.
Manifesto against violence, one of the problems of our society. Leads to some thought.
A glamorous action-thriller in the spirit of teenage emo-optimism, seasoned with a spice of comedy. All this is said in a positive way. Pretty good. The ending is really weird. Perhaps even disappointed. In search of the true meaning, you stumble on a stone for some unknown reason.
For some films of recent years, you need to come up with a new genre: "Evil". Especially for movies with slogans like this one.
A very overrated film. I don’t know why there are so many nominations. Yes, and Milligan’s game is not so outstanding. Absolute average
i’m knocking the film into the top because it resonates bl. perhaps, showing the situation and its absurdity from this side will be able to influence people, I really hope so. in general, thanks to Emeralda for the film. oh, and the music – chef’s kiss
Is this a nomination for best film? The game of the main character and most of the actors did not like at all. Lots of film bloopers visible to the naked eye.
It’s just a shame that despite all the style, flirtations with genres and ironic pop soundtrack (yes, Perris Hilton, I’m looking at you), the film’s plot is deeply formulaic.
