Choke

This is a terrible, and terribly boring attempt at a movie. Awful amateur acting, with, rambling, irritating voiceovers monologuing with grating voices and garbage dialogue. Nearly incomprehensible story of an autistic adult who meets a 17 year old girl who is a prostitute too, maybe. Maybe, because the story jumps around between showing montages of mindless and boring couples date activities, and people being choked to death. Nothing is rooted in concrete reality, so the movie ends up being like an abstract perfume commercial, where it's just montages of people doing things, with little actual connection. Later on in the film some rogue border agent and a haggard old lady shows up and they choke each other, where the old lady overacts like no tomorrow, while the agent has dead fish eyes. Just a trainwreck from top to bottom, cinematography, dialogue, acting, story, everything is amateur hour.

Ok, this one has a lot of very few things going on for it: all the montages you could squeeze in a movie of 93 minute, so many monologues and a bunch of random scenes that I think were supposed to have a meaning, but it flew right over my head sadly.

It is hard to recommend it, because what is it exactly? Horror..not quite, thriller..perhaps, drama, psychological..just tiny bits. It is a movie that I'm glad it was made because experimental cinema manages to bring new stuff to the surface, but this one I feel will pass without making waves, because it has no target audience, well, perhaps those into choking and that alone.

You can clearly notice that the people who made this, did try their best and the quality is overall acceptable for such an indie production, yet even tho it started nicely and did grow, it became boring and rather confusing. Sadly, not a fan.

Cheers!

So it appears that people in the movie has discovered choking one self to be a form of therapy reverted to whenever life pins you down. This is one of those films that you don't really understand the purpose of, but still leaves you confused. Reminded me of Under the skin. Same vibes

I like to try to find something good to say about any movie because there has to be some kind of merit somewhere, right? I guess here it would be the acting, which doesn't completely miss the mark but is nothing to write home about either. I guess it was just good enough acting that I won't give it a 1 but man this was a bad movie.

This movie is nothing but 70 mins of what the heck is going on .. 15 mins into the movie I lost my interest to watch it further but I sat through waiting for a moment where everything will make sense .

This movie is downright boring ... there is literally nothing in this movie to spend your 70 mins for ... I only blame myself for choosing this movie on a Friday night .
