Vincent Tem de Morrer

Not bad at all like hallucinated delirium that Vincent must die, totally entertaining without being devoid of an intriguing societal statement, that this crisis of rage, see the sudden dementia suffered by Vincent and part of the population in this France on the verge of psychotic collapse.

Very entertaining but also often full of surprise, a strange dominant, dominated relationship gradually settles and offers some moments of rare intensity. Then everything will not really give rise to a real explanation in the end but it is not the most important.

In the end it's a bit the final that disappoints, nothing very striking, it's even very classic, but the film is not missed yet, it could even become a real must with a little more "punchy" in its final. However, I had a great time and it's nice to see French genre films always more impactful!

I really loved the first the 50 minutes of this movie as filmmaker Stéphan Castang provides an interesting premise that includes some interesting satirical, comedic, and apocalypse themes within the narrative. Unfortunately, the movie does overstays its welcome a bit.

Throughout, the narrative offers some funny and weird concepts that are interesting and outrageous. I appreciate the direction, the tone and good performance from the main lead actor. However, the issue is that the narrative doesn't live up with it's premise as after the 50 minute mark, the themes and tone feels lost with some unnecessary subplots and ideas that never took full advantage of it's creative setting. Regarding the pacing, structure, and style, the movie has a solid atmosphere and never once was I bored observing the movie.

I do wish the writing could be stronger but as a whole, it was an decent movie that I appreciated.

This is a very unlikely, unpredictable, unusual film which I am talking about. I am very puzzled, actually. This plot about a man who suddenly becomes the target of the other people wrath, anger, violence, makes me think of a zombie film. A social fantasy - not horror though - story, exploring a very modern problem: violence in the today's world, where people become more and more agressive, brutal, most of the time for meaningless reasons.... You wonder where this plot will lead to all long this nearly two hours feature. Rather long length for a first film. It is a zombie plot but without zombies...Watch it and you'll understand. Unsatisfactory ending. Could have been better.

Altough flawed, this movie is pretty good. The concept is simple, when the main character makes eye contact with someone, that someone will get violent and try to kill Vincent. A simple idea, with a simple solution not explored in the movie: what if Vincent had sunglasses, or a mask. Without making spoilers, let me tell you that during the movie the concept of not seeing the eyes with a blindfold, so why won't he try sunglasses? Also, I do not understand how difficult is it to not look someone in the eyes, just focus on the other person eyebrows.

But yeah, despite these things I still enjoyed this very much.

No pun intended - so the director seems to think that it is a miracle we are not at each others throats all the time - I would not like to have him working as a psychiatrist .. that's for sure. But maybe he is on to something. Maybe conflict is within us ... can we evolve past it one day? Who knows? Evolution usually takes time.

That all said, the movie is quite obviously is showing an ugly side in society and humans overall. Where victims get blamed ... and have to endure consequences instead of the other way around. It starts more on the comedy side .. but gets quite serious towards the end. Still a lot of (dark) jokes on the way to that ... well "conclusion".

A lot of genres mixed up in this one - you'll either like that or don't ... hopefully you do.
