Bem-vinda, estranha

I do like a lot of strange films but his is just the worst. Far too pretentious and deep without even trying to explain itself.

A good waste of 90 minutes.

Maybe an epilogue to explain it would help as the film doesnt.

Apparently this is another of those incredibly arty and sophisticated films that none of us poor proles can understand. Welcoming the stranger beinng taken from the bible and presumably refers to the aliens in the film - really?

The film was a complete borefest from beginning to end. The acting , what there was of it - not much just lots of long stares and supposedly meaningful incestuous looks - lots of things thrown at us from alien abduction to matricide.

I oft hear the reviewers who are so up their own bum they wear their ass for a hat say that the film leaves you to decide what it was all about - No I dont buy that horse manure , I am afraid that is what ass-hat brigade roll out when even they cannot actually explain what the whole thing was all about - It was not artful , it was not particularly well acted and it was nothing more than an exercise in self indulgent pseudo-intellectual celluloid self aggrandisement!

Take from it what you will - No thanks I should have just watched some paint dry!

The film at all vague. If you don't read the description to the movie, nothing is clear. It turns out that some girl comes to some guy...some mansion. Then the prehistory opens. The plot is almost non-existent. Maybe there's an acting game. Not a movie, but a solid schizophrenia.

Welcome the Stranger does not have mass commercial appeal. It's a very loose, uncomfortable film that, depending on how you understand the resolution, can be open to a WIDE range of interpretations. Only the very last scene is presented as something beyond superficial question. Everything else is ultimately to be analyzed in relation to this last scene. Most viewers don't want to analyze, which is fine, but their not liking this movie is not equivalent to its being pretentious.

Is the expectation seriously that folks are supposed to purchase a ticket for this movie to watch it in theaters? I don't think I've ever been this bored in my life watching a movie and typically I enjoy movies such as this, however, this was complete trash and super boring.
