Ladyworld

I cannot understand why this movie has such a poor rating. It's definitely for the art house crowd, there's no denying that. However, when taking on a whole, the movie has much more than it seems to show on the surface. The other reviewers comparing it to Lord of the Flies are correct, with a similar vibe, just in a "disaster strikes at a birthday slumber party" way. I'm not saying this movie is great, because it's not. What it is, is an interesting representation of what happens to people left to their own devices in a crisis situation. Watch it for the acting, which is very good, and don't read too much into it, and you might actually enjoy this movie.

An earthquake strikes, and the home has only young women in it. With no water, no electricity, and no cell phone service, they are, of course doomed. Some may liken it to a female version of Lord of the Flies, except the boys were really trapped, and that is a far better movie. Olivia seems to be one who had her head about her, and Dolly holds on tightly to a doll, as it seems it is her only friend. There is dirt piled near the top of the windows, but since the house didn't suffer a lot of damage and the windows didn't break, it couldn't have been a massive amount of dirt, so they could have simply opened a window and crawled out. That would have made for a 5 minute movie, and be better. Instead, it degenerates into most of them living in filth, showing despair and basically going crazy. All in the space of a couple of days, at the most. No one seems to be able to come up with a plan. On top of that, the sound track becomes super annoying. It starts out like geese honking, then horns honking, and then (according to subtitles) women vocalizing. A truly terrible movie, and while 3 may seem generous, one may not want to know which movies I have rated lower than that.

This film is getting a lot of unnecessary politically charged criticism that has really nothing to do with what makes this film "broken" for a lack of a better word. The acting is so-so. I at least believe them often enough that I forgive a bad reading here or there. There are plenty of loose metaphors scattered about and really this is the main issue. This film wanders in a setting that's to small to really get going.

And there is the major "elephant in the room"... regrading the windows.... ugh. I get it "wUt iF wE GEt cOMfoRtableeeeeee."

If you watch a lot of movies already give this a shot maybe you'll get something out of it. If you're a more casual viewer skip it

Its 'Lord of the flies' meets 'The Hole'

I created an IMDB account just to review this movie:

This movie is a total waste of your time. Everything feels cheap about it, its annoying, and it does not have any sense of story. And it doesn't make sense. Please just watch something else, if you are intrigued by my review, just skip through the movie and you will understand what I mean.

Hate to say it, garbage.

I spend lots of time watching all sorts of films from low budget art to sci-fi blockbusters and i can honestly say this is the worst thing my eyes have ever seen i can understand the attempt at showing human nature in its true form but this is pure drivel and unbelievable.
