Absolutely bland

Rating: 5/10 (6 April 2018)

Stay away. It reminds me of some Bollywood "nukkad-natak" or street-side theatre. Cheap graphics and makeup. It;s like they did not put much effort into it. Or worse, they ruined what could have been developed into a much more interesting movie. It delves rather too long into what has become the norm for beautiful and intricate. A lemon pie here, a french song and rain there. It's an instagram post of movies. Well they should have focused onto the story itself. Right now it's just so confined. We hardly get to see beyond 10-12 people in all the 2 hours There's a bit of a love story, too but that too is very obvious and distasteful. Apart from a few and very predictable twists and turns, the story is like a water in a pipe, flowing into the gutter. Absolutely un-Guillermo. Sad. The ending was downright awful. That's all they could do? make the gashes on her neck turn into gills. Ugh. The only thing lovely was that the actors played their characters well - although there too, the characters themselves were very shallow. Like for instance Michael Shannon's could have had more facets and more depth to it. Well he played whatever he got beautifully. I don't see how it got Oscars. The state of films right now is pathetic. For lack of a better contender, the awards went to a stinking trash bag.
