Gaspar Noe, you have disappointed me...!

Rating: 4/10 (10 February 2019)

I'm a filmmaker myself and I pretty much love Gaspar Noe's work... but this time I feel he lost me...
Visuals are pretty interesting and the emotions he wants to create to the viewer work their way through, respect to that. The actors and the approach is pretty awesome as well. Everything is in very high level until the drug frenzy kicks in... This part is so pretentious and so "made to shock" and "made to discomfort" and trying to make a difference, that it actually turns out to feel baddly thought and fake. Such a shame, it could have been a nice movie. Even the whole concept idea is off.
YOU CAN'T MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT A CERTAIN THEME WITHOUT HAVING LIFE EXPERIENCE ON IT. Clearly Gaspar has no idea or experience on LSD. There is no type of LSD that would have those effects... And what's with the upside down thing... seriously...?
Make some upside down shots, make some upside down transitions, I get what he is trying to do..., ok we got it, you want to depict a hell-like situation, but my friend don't do half the movie upside down just to supposedly create fake tension to the viewer. This shit is unwatchable. It reminds me when amateur filmmakers shake the camera on purpose to make an explosion feel more powerful.. hahahahha... which is always an absolute fail. Gaspar, you lost your touch, you are trying too hard, I'm sorry...
