Florence W - Misommar L

Rating: 5/10 (13 February 2020)

This movie is worth watching but that doesn't mean it's good. The lore in this movie is very interesting but the plot is just very generic, 5 "friends" went on vacation somewhere to write their thesis; a white blonde girl with anxiety and traumas, her boyfriend, the one that forms part of the cult (or whatever the tribe was), and two other characters that doesn't matter at all, a black man and the funny one. These characters are supposed to be friends but in the movie doesn't feel like that, nobody ever laughs at Mark's jokes and that made me feel like they're just partners of work or something, there is no chemistry between Josh and Mark or Josh and Christian, the movie is more focussed on the girl and the cult.
Good thing on this movie is the cinematografy, at least 85% of the images i see in this movie are beatiful and the camera movement is just incredibly well made. I wish i could say the production design is great too but i mean, how difficult was to write the environment this movie was going to have? A mountain with some houses made out of wood and something else, i do like some details on the production design but almost everything is too generic.
The music is insane, the performance by Florence was insane, and the first half was pretty good.
The thing that makes this movie bad is the infinite questions you have at the end, i like movies with some mystery before the credits but this movie not only have some unsolved incognites but the whole movie is constantly giving you questions that will never have an answer like why did the family died? (i know it has to be some clues at the first beginning but it's just full of dialogue that it's difficult to understand everything at first), who was the man wearing Mark's skin?, WHO and WHY was the girl with the big lips?.
Christian, Mark and Josh were incredibly boring characters, beautiful cinematography, beautiful soundtrack, horrible storytelling, interesting lore, plot is so wack, unnecesary sex scene and not too well directed (it could be better by not making it so slow and uncomfortable), i don't know how to feel about the gore since i think it's unnecesary too but in the same way i believe it's like a good intro of how nasty this movie could be. That's how i feel about what this movie is.
Also English it's not my main lenguage, i'm still working on it.
