Little Mermaid

I love the idea of a dark storyline, but maaaaan the acting was terrible! The storyline itself was stupid as as hell I can't belive this got funded. I promise you I could write something 10X better in a few hours. I gave it the benefit of the doubt and watched it but it was trash.

An hypnotically beautiful retelling of the classic Hans Christian Andersen tale. Slow and meditative certainly, but also deeply affecting. This story always made me cry as a child and this version moves me just as completely. In this era of "Time's Up" and "Me Too", this feels even more relevant. Highly recommended.

After thinking for a minute here's what I came up with... Confusing, irritating, bland, shallow, trying-too-hard to modernize, uncaptivating. Seriously the list does not stop. One of the most confusing aspects was the beginning. Have no clue how that tied in at all. There was zero chemistry between anyone, and I normally like Indie films, but this was painful.

I can't believe I am even writing a review. I don't know what the previous reviewers were on (may be affiliated with the creators) but this was probably the worst movie I've ever seen.

The modern take on this classic tale had so much potential but the execution was beyond terrible. This felt like a student project than anything. Obviously they had no budget, but you don't need money to tell an interesting story. This had nothing to say. The pacing was all off, the introduction doesn't make sense at all, bad acting and bad dialogue (almost on the level of The Room), bland shallow characters, did not buy the central love story at all, and the whole stripper thing did not make sense and felt exploitative!!!

It's a shame because there were some artful camera work, just the story and direction was so amateurish and made no sense at all.

Funny how the few "glowing" reviews of this are from people who signed up a month ago and wrote ONE review saying how magical this is.

Trust me, it's awful, slow, depressing, poorly filmed, woefully acted, reeks of micro budget and it's just a painful watch.

It's not often I come across a film like this, that is so terrible, it makes you question how some people really are allowed to make movies. This really does feel like something that was put together for public access TV.

I'm guessing that given another month or so, the rating numbers on here will drop drastically once the honest ratings from genuine movie goers are totted up.

Real bottom of the barrel stuff with zero redeeming features I'm afraid.
