Insanidade

Films are different from one another. They are targeted for various audiences and of course, different moods. There may be some movies that everyone enjoys, but if you are someone like me, the time you watch the movie and the mood you are in at that moment has a huge impact on your movie selection. The movie genre gives you a hint of what to expect. But if you think that it should be 100% accurate, then you are a fool. And also movies don't just stick to dear old standard genres anymore. You can watch the trailer and the poster to judge if the movie for your taste. And also not all the movies are meant to be a huge article of art that is worthy of awards. Some are just for a chill evening. Watch them onetime and forget about it in the next day. What I'm getting at is; most of the comments with low ratings that I saw for this movie are because either their inability to choose the right movie for their taste, or being too dependent on the genres. Or they might have mistaken the movie's targeted entertainment if you know what I mean. This is actually an enjoyable movie. I certainly did. Sure they were not that successful with breaking the fourth wall. But a fun movie. I wasn't looking for a movie with a great plot or a serious piece of art. I wanted a movie to watch and relax before bed after work. And I knew this was that type of a movie and it served well. Yes, It won't get 7 out of 10 or anything above. But it definitely worthy of 6 or 6.5 out of ten for sure. Not 4.

First off, this film is classified as a horror comedy, but the only real comedy comes in the form of a few awkward moments and a couple attempts of 4th wall breaking humor of Millennials and Boomers taking some cringeworthy jabs at each other (which are not funny at all and seriously bring it down a whole point by themselves).

To keep this review short and to the point, any positives that I have to say about this film goes to the production and acting. There is some nice cinematic shots, good sound design, and solid effects. The acting is slightly above average but there will be no award nominations coming their way for this movie.

The story on the other hand, is a mixed bag of mediocrity. It is all over the place and changes tone several times during the film. At some points it tries to be a serious thriller. At other points it is a light-hearted dramedy. Yet at other times it's an arthouse parody that really makes little sense.

Overall the movie is weird and doesn't seem to have a good sense of itself. There are a couple good scenes and there is some decent production to it, but the majority of it is a just a nonsensical mess that's just not very entertaining. Not a film that you're going to want to watch twice and very forgettable. 4/10

This film was boring, incoherent, and an utter drag. It's difficult to sit through because it's just so incredibly uneventful. Robert Patrick plays a good enough psycho with some major mental health issues but we don't really understand what his deal is. The most interesting scenes of the film are the hallucinations and dream sequences...which don't make sense AT ALL but are the most visually stimulating parts of the film. As a main character, I felt that Amanda Crew, was under-used in the film. She didn't seem as important as she should have been, which is a disappointment because the film is about her. Tone-Deaf has a great premise but it was poorly executed.

dont watch this

Watch this

5.6

Weird script, weirdly executed, with chuckle/cringe-worthy generational shots fired throughout the film. The story execution did achieve in keeping my attention throughout, however the disillusionment in what could have been a way better film is well established half-way.

All-in-all, prioritize viewing other films you might have missed in your life, but give this a go if you want some "wtf were they thinking" moments.
