फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
Actually over the ... no wait on the top (of the car) - quite the hands on approach (ok so no pun intended is what I usually would say ... but it might not make too much sense here). The movie is about dreams, about goals and about humans willing to do almost anything to get something (for free).
Of course if many people are attracted to something, there will be rivalries. And the movie has quite the distinguishable characters - you can tell who is who and what they believe in. It is slow paced, so you have to have some patience with it. But when certain things happen, they really have quite the impact. How far would you go? And what does it do with anyone mentally? Mind games included ... we do feel for our main character, even when he isn't saying too much. But the struggle is real ...

This story really does sound like it only could happen for real in America. Stupid scripts, can turn out to be good movies, but did it work this time around?
The good: I must give it to them, the acting was better than I expected, with lots of weirdo characters acting really well. That's the best part of this movie, the characters and man are they s89*)d up.
However...
The bad: however stupid (and potentially) funny this story sounded at the beginning I soon realised that this movie was a DUD. Going nowhere. Slow. Boring. Obnoxiously boring.
At least a rewrite of the script is in order. A lot shorter. Perhaps then, this movie could be worthwhile a watch, now it beats taking a sleeping pill....

Waste of time. Waste of money. Waste of talent. Granted this may be on a somewhat superficial level.
On a deeper level it's a boring slog. That said, there's room for some pretentious interpretation, like social criticism. Unfortunately, I didn't think the topic was conceptually interesting enough to engage with it so I was bored instead.
The ending was a relief to be honest. I felt the same relief I Imagine the people taking part in these games must feel after 100 hours. Only, the movie sapped out 2 out of me.

"Only horses are given the coup de grâce" 2.0 (Trump Era Edition)
Sydney Pollack's film THEY SHOOT HORSES, DONT THEY? (1969) was set during the Great Depression in 1932 and featured Jane FONDA and Michael SARRAZIN taking part in a dance marathon. In 2019, 20 people hold their hands on a truck - until they drop! Some things never seem to change. Class society relentlessly divides the haves and the have-nots.
The whole thing takes place in Louisiana. The focus is on the young father Kyle (Joe COLE), who lives on a subsistence level with his wife (Callie HERNANDEZ) and son. The idea for the competition comes from car dealership employee Joan (Carrie PRESTON), but she also has her strange sides. There is a twist that you don't expect and that won't be revealed here. What's on offer is a frightening insight into American society, well acted and well made. Why the German director Bastian GÜNTHER cannot find any comparable grievances in German-speaking countries remains his secret. The film will certainly not find an enthusiastic cinema audience in America itself.
Good film, but it can also be depressing. So far, the film, which was shown in the PANORAMA section at the BERLINALE 2020, has only grossed USD 5,000 worldwide in the box office (source: The NUMBERS). There should be more to come!

In many ways a compelling story, but the editing threw me for a loop. Literally, if you take the last 16, 17 minutes of the movie and slap it onto the beginning, this largely becomes an entertaining, cohesive film. But there are some strange twists in this film, like the story should be about Carrie Preston's character, but maybe the film maker lost interest in finishing her story. Further, the ultimate "decision" made by the perceived protagonist of the story doesn't make much sense, as it didn't seem to come from any real issue taking place -- there was simply no reason for it. Would I recommend this film? Maybe to someone like me, who watched it because I'm a huge Joe Cole fan, and I like watching HIM in particular, but otherwise, probably not.
