O Recepcionista

Both the male and female leads were superb. Very talented actors who have huge careers ahead of them. The film was okay. His character was interesting. But the way he filmed guests was a little unbelievable and didn't make sense. But I could ride with that. The story was a gentle run but with nothing of note to remember. I probably wouldn't watch it again but I will be keen to see both the actors in something new. I recommend this film for a relaxed afternoon. Oh, and I think Helen Hunt is in it. Or someone who looks a bit like her.

This film was alright... the script was pretty weak. Ana De Armas character seemed shoe-horned into the story just to fill up time. Rarely is one actor's performance a big deal for me- actor's are tools that a director uses. Sometimes there are performances that outshine every other aspect of the film, and this is one of those performances. I've worked for over 6 years with special needs individuals, one in particular is diagnosed with Asperger's. Tye Sheridan's performance is so dead on that I know he a) researched real people with Asperger's extensively, and b) has the skills and confidence to incorporate that into his work here. Sheridan, along with Christopher Abott and Caleb Landry Jones, and a few others I'm probably forgetting, are among America's finest young actors

It's a very interesting story, which develops well. Bart is a fascinating character, who's motives for doing what he does are sincere and innocent in his own way, buy invasive and voyeuristic.

The ending should have been so much better, if anything I thought it spoiled what was otherwise a very good film, the story builds and develops gradually, but the ending was harsh and abrupt.

Always great to see Helen Hunt, but the star of the show is of course Tye Sheridan, who's performance is actually captivating, what an amazingly talented young man he is. I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of him in the future.

Boy oh boy this was good, 7/10.

I really wanted to like this film. The portrayal of a young man with autism/Aspergers is incredible. That means the acting is also very good.

The one twist hits and the movie is way too short to have it be exciting. It heats up a bit at the end but it's still too short and there's not enough character development for you to really care. I'm starting to think maybe this movie would work better as a limited series or something - with a much better writer assigned to it. They really could've built it out but they failed.

So a bad script/bad execution failed really good actors and a good idea. I'd have to say skip.

The lead player in this movie gives a compelling and super performance. He plays a person with a mental condition that causes him to have problems with connecting to others as well as being very obnoxious with everyone he meets.

Tye Sheridan is the actors name and he steals the show from beginning to end.

A night clerk at a hotel finds a way to secretly view and watch guests live in their rooms and one night he witnesses someone being murdered.

The clerk bocomes the main suspect.

I enjoyed this picture. My problem -maybe it it just me -but maybe not, I found it difficult to follow precisely was was happening and after the comclusion of the film I needed to go on line to find out about the other characters in the story and who was involved and also to discover an explanation for the ending.

For that reason I deduct 2 marks from my rating:

6/10.
