Alpha

A movie not worth spending your money on it. Saw it at a movie festival , last movie aired on the last day of the Anonimul Festival. I gave it the benefit of the doubt until the very end and if I were to summarize it, I would say "hope dies last, but with this movie, it eventually dies". Nobody left the screening because otherwise you would have had a sleepless night trying to figure out what was the conclusion. After seeing this movie I needed an artistic cleansing, as in seeing any movie that restores my faith in cinematography. Go see again "Gandhi", "Black cat white cat" or anything else worth watching, this particular movie is a "flyover movie". Thank God it ended.

Utterly remarkable acting which brought me to tears more than once. The powerful performances are to such great degree that it overshadow the story sometimes. However, Alpha is a film I do need to rewatch; Julia Ducournau is not required to tone down her imagination if the audience can't follow, just like the mathematical Julia set. Music lovers are equally in for a treat.
