Boi

Waste of time, nothing happens, The Asian actors were very bad

I don't want to start off harshly, but it's a short life, so don't spend it watching this movie. I'll give it one star because I see what it was trying to achieve with the music and soundtrack. I appreciated the suspense build up, but that's all it was-a build up- and all for nothing. I tried to be respectful and sit through the movie, but I had to close my eyes in some scenes because it wasn't getting anywhere. I figured everything would happen in the end, but when it got there it just didn't deliver. I think it was trying to be deep, but it was somewhat a predictable ending. If you really tried to to make something out of it, you'd probably say the ending was ambiguous, but I'm not going to put in the effort and attempt to figure it out. It was a consistently boring movie throughout. If you have insomnia, give it a shot.

An artistic film with an unhurried but flowing pace, Boi was packed with sharp whit (across both Spanish and English), a perceptive irony to its humour and a tentative dive into questions of humanity.

I found that the soundtrack both complemented and enhanced the film's feel whilst there were many moments of creative storytelling and artistic direction. Whilst the story only dug shallowly into each of the characters' backstories, this was appropriate for the mildly abstract, thought-provoking nature of the film and it was still was able to create depth of personality for its contrasting and complementary characters.

Overall, I found Boi to be very enjoyable.

The movie is long but I didn't feel it drag as my interest was held by the likable protagonist and the increasingly odd characters. I kept thinking that the director was trying for a Jim Jarmusch feel, odd sorts crossing paths and stories unfolding, or maybe a bit David Lynch but generally not as consistently sinister. I enjoyed it even if I didn't understand every little plot point, it's that sort of movie.

Coming back to my purpose of being here, Boi is hilarious in the beginning, awkward, different and overall a very decent watchable film. I laughed and enjoyed it. Please don't expect anything from the end and enjoy the film without expecting anything. You will like it. The actor is likeable. The supporting actors are all good.
