Pretentious drivel

Rating: 1/10 (3 October 2019)

Every now and then I watch a movie that makes me not want to watch movies for a while and this is one of those movies. I wanted to try and see a Gaspar Noe movie but I don't think I'll bother anymore. He is clearly trying so hard to shock the audience and make everyone hate the movie to such a degree that I don't see a point in indulging in his twisted fantasies that have no ultimate payoff. The film is just mindless violence and stupid shock value with terrible characters,plot and sub-par acting.Noe might say he draws inspiration from Kubrick but he's just an art-house version of Eli Roth. The craftsmanship of some shots and some good cinematography are the only reasons why the movie gets two stars even though the last fifteen minutes are shot upside down which made me want to pick up my TV and throw it out the window to make sure that it never has to endure another of Noe's films.
