This is a truly timeless film that depicts a strange love story that uniquely challenges the social norms of a "regular relationship."

The strongest aspect of this film to me was the acting, Warren Beatty gave the performance of his life portraying the love stricken bank robber. Staring alongside Faye Dunaway, their chemistry on screen was truly revolutionary.

It is for those reasons that I am giving this film an 8/10.

I am a huge fan of all of Eli Roths work, his use of violence and gore contribute to his many underlying themes. In this film he uses these tools to bring attention to some of the many issues that the rain forrest faces, and despite the Amazonian people preforming most of the violence it is an not without aggravation. He uses their brutality as a paradox of what large corporations are doing to the amazon.

He employs colors that compliment each other by ways of extreme contrast which gives a striking image appealing to the eye. There is also some great dialogue in this film that is very reminiscent of the many conversations that I have had with my college roommates and friends. For each character I could cast the perfect person just from my current friends and that is what really allows me to connect to this film.

I am giving this movie an 8/10 because it is a great film that I recommend to everyone. This movie is a true homage to the 1980 Cannibal Holocaust with references to Cannibal Ferox and should be in contention for the best cannibal film of all time.

This is one of my absolute favorite films. Shot in an extremely raw way ignoring many conventional filmmaking tendencies, this gave the film a feeling of realness in a gritty world. This movie never feels like a movie and it is for that reason that I wouldn't classify it as a movie. This is a film depicting the power of cinema, pulling on every single one of your emotions often in the same moment.

So it is for these reasons that I gave this movie a 9/10, and I strongly advise everyone to see it.
