Confinamento

Bland, sometimes incomprehensible, story with an ending which truly makes no sense. Such a waste of excellent actors on such a boring, non-sensical story.

At first I thought it was going to be boring as some reviews say, but I found it quite entertaining and up to date. I have laughed and I have seen myself live some situations that are captured in the film quite well. Give it a chance and enjoy, a simple story that knows how to treat the covid and the day to day of the pandemic in a realistic and optimistic ay.

Don't expect this movie to be a smart Oceans 11 style build up with detailed planning and exciting twists.

However, with accurate expectations, this film is very enjoyable and an easy evening watch. Locked Down focuses more on the central couple's relationship, and the realities of 2020's miserable lockdown (hence the title). There are some laughs and some monologues that carry on too long- but that's forgivable and expected considering the filming circumstances. A solid 7.5/10.

This movie was put out so quickly just to take advantage of current events and it shows. Extremely boring and Chiwetel has never had any talent other than a concerned cardboard-faced copy/pasted version of undoubtedly his real life self. Anne is past her prime, which is sad to see, but it's happened.

There's a lot of disappointment from people who expected a good heist plot or a compelling marriage romcom.

I went in with no expectations at all, and the strong acting and good score were quite enough to make it enjoyable.
