City of Salt

Ugh what has been touted as the next best film in the ex mormon facebook group is a very disappointing film. It's sad that such an important subject matter and a decent script did not translate well via the sub par actors to the screen. The 10s here are written by cast and crew and their friends. Dont be fooled

The scene that the daughter come out of closet in front of her father and how his father react just make me feel it's 1990 again. Totally cannot fit in. Just a very mediocre storyline for family issue leading the tragedy. Both parents reaction is too over dramatic and hateful in many level.

The acting is rather wooden; the storyline is good. Could have been reduced by 30 minutes as the pace is quite slow. Worth a watch, but no more.

The review title says it all really. The story is intrinsically good, and quite important. Unfortunately the script itself is quite poor, but even that surpasses the quality of the acting....... rather typically of the type 'B' movie that we are all being subjected to throughout Covid. I don't regret watching it, but just wish it had been better.

When downloading this movie from one particular site it was rated 8.4 Then I looked it up on IMDB where it was rated 7.3 Right after watching the movie and adding it to my list I noticed its rating dropped to 6.4 So in just 2 hours this movie lost 2 full points and I'm pretty sure it doesn't have reached its lowest rating. The fast dropping didn't really surprise me as there was terribly bad acting especially during the first half. Plot developments were badly introduced and lacked any sense of involvement in the story. To make the disaster complete, during the last half the plot developed so unlikely that my idea was that some amateur script writer was hired to complete an already murky story with shallow characters. See it if you have some 2 hours left on a rainy day. Otherwise skip it. You won't miss much.
