O'Dessa

I am not sure I can agree with such a low rating for this movie. I can see where some may feel the movie falls short. The plot was alright and lacked some direction at points. However, overall the visuals were fantastic, the music was enjoyable, and the characters were interesting to watch throughout the screening. I feel that anyone that rated it below a 6 did not really understand the movie and I am questioning if they even really watched it at all. I mean it isn't in my top 10 movies probably but it was definitely enjoyable and I would say this was a particularly creative movie. Was great watching sadie sink put on such a unique performance!

O'Dessa may catch your eye with some cool visuals and a few catchy musical moments, but that's pretty much where its strengths end. Sadie Sink is the standout here as she brings a commitment and charisma that makes up a little for the film's weak, contrived plot and shallow character development. Despite the film's ambitious attempts to mix different styles and eras, it ends up feeling like a messy collage without much substance to hold it together.

The movie just can't find a clear direction, with a tonally inconsistent script that feels more like a string of expositions than a well-paced story. While it's fun to see the stylistic nods and moments of creativity, everything else falls flat and leaves you with a feeling that, aside from Sadie's performance, nothing truly resonates.

This is a musically,visually,and dramatically a stunning piece of original cinema. It was billed as a "Rock Opera" and that's truly what it is. It isn't a hugely original story or premise,but it's an immensely original artistic take on one. I'm Genx,so I'm acutely aware of how Cult Classics are born. I really hope this gets the immediate attention it deserves,but seeing as it was a Hulu release I'm sure it's going to have to overcome that stigma overtime to find it's audience. But MARK MY WORDS!!! In 10-15 years when Sadie Sink is a gigantic star because of the ridiculous talent she showcased in this art film,people will see and understand this review. If you see it before then,do yourself a favor and watch it. She,and all the other performers actually sang that music.

I am an avid film geek but certainly not an expert. I took this film for what it was, with no expectations and just enjoyed the ride.

For me, I was hooked from the start, music was good, lyrics were very touching and the bizarre sci Fi world was a great touch.

Sometimes we over think our experiences and forget to just enjoy the moment and for me, I enjoyed every moment in this film. So much so; I am playing the album.

The cast were good and Sadie really shone and I enjoyed watching her. I'm sure we will see more of her in the decades to come.

Don't forget to open your minds, cherish the message given in this film and enjoy.

People say they want original stories, and O'dessa definitely brings one.

This film visually stunning with a bold, stylized, apocalyptic world, and in my opinion, the soundtrack is genuinely beautiful-Sadie Sink's voice is incredible and especially held my attention during those parts.

On the other hand, I didn't fully connect to the romance as much as I wanted to, but knowing it's rooted in the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice helped me appreciate it more. As a rock opera told almost entirely through song, it won't be for everyone, but it's ambitious, unique, and I got the message it was putting out there.
