Weirdly Bad

Rating: 6/10 (27 April 2020)

The thing is that i really adored the movie at first but as the time went by, in my head, the movie became just this bad ache in my stomach that craved for more of that last hour but I know that the films glory, if I May call it, is just that half hour. The movie is brilliant in the way that last half hour is constructed but other than that, nothing. Constant exposition for more than an hour is an intresting concept but it doesnt work here. It just stands out really weirdly, the constant gazing and going around the house and all. The Fountain worked because Darren mastered both storytelling and metaphorical exposition in that movie. Here, there is no story. The idea is that metaphors shouldnt be a device, that the story should be a device and metaphors should tell what the movie needs to tell. I really like the reverse-thinking here but again, this way of thinking is never guaranteed to work all the time, and in this case, it does not. Overall, meh. Does it shine a little bit? Yes. Do you enjoy the ride? Yes. Can you re-experience your emotions? Hell no! The biggest problem of all is that this movie stays as an exciting memory of yours but never reaches the heights it promises to reach because after all, it is just a bad dream and it is inconsistently flawed.
