The Midas Touch

The Midas Touch (2020) is a film to watch alone or with a partner as it is an erotical comedy. This is something that made the film quite repetitive to me, the fact that the jokes are almost entirely sexual or related to sex. Nonetheless, the plot is quite nice and cohesive. Felix, the main character, lives a "miserable" life and is just noticed when people want to bully him. This changes when he receives a gift, The Midas Touch, that is not related to gold, but with attracting women. I liked the change in Felix's life and personality, it's well done. The film doesn't take itself seriously and feels like a parody sometimes, what improves the comedy. It also has lines in which the characters act as if they knew they were characters. I liked these breaks and how Tilman Borck got some references from classic films to build the narrative, it was a humble and good act. Moreover, the main plot is predictable but the subplots are not so the film keeps interesting as we don't really know what's going to happen. The acting is good overall and I highlight Gino Wilson (Felix) and Clayton Nemrow (Ron). They are great here and their rivalry on screen is on point. About the technical aspects, they are good. I praise Tilman Borck for acting, writing and directing The Midas Touch (2020). I can only imagine how difficult it is to do so many things and he did a good job, I didn't like it that much but it's a watchable film.

There aren't really words to describe this trip of a movie! Tongue and cheek on sex, politics and religion, this film is crude but insightful. Maybe not for everyone, but definitely worthy of being seen!

I was in the mood for something that would be fun to watch in the midst of a pretty dark time and relieved to find a fun, light hearted movie. I enjoyed it very much and would recommend it to someone else looking for a great ride!

I don't know what to make.of rhis movie, I found myself wondering how it could escape the editing room in its current form. It feels unpolished and much too long. It is like watching somerhing that high-school students would put together for fun, where they don't care if the joke is only funny for them. I think you would be better off spending time on something else.

Over-the-Top in a good way. A really fun watch and perfect for fans of crazy "out there" comedy.
