TASK #19: A film you think looks like or you consider to be Oscar bait!
0/10 film.
I’m not even going to beat around the bush here. Collateral Beauty is not only the worst film I’ve seen all year but also one of worst written films I’ve ever seen period. It amazes me how studio executives, a decent director, and such an amazing cast and crew took one look at this horrible, horrible script and didn’t think anything was wrong with it. It downright angers and saddens me simultaneously that this even got greenlit. You remember how the trailers made it play out like Will Smith was having conversations with the embodiments of Love, Death,…
Not so much so-bad-it’s-good as so-bad-it-doesn’t-seem-real.

i literally payed no attention to this except to a scene a where Will Smith angrily sings Row Row Row Your Boat to an Old Woman on a Subway.
Doomed to be emotionally manipulative from its conception. Maybe not as bad as its reputation suggests. Could've been written better.
Bonito retrato do imaginário aumentando o mundo real, possibilitando a completude da vida humana. Também reforça a necessidade de honestidade na produção artística.
everybody seems to not like this film but here i am bursting into tears completely in love with this film
Es una de esas pelis que te recomienda María que tardas meses en ver pero que cuando lo haces entiendes perfectamente porqué te la recomendó
Well, You may say it’s as contrived as hell, but I really enjoyed this exploration of grief, live, love, time and death. Stella cast seemed a little under-utilised, primarily due to the mediocre script. However the story kept tugging me along and although the eventual ending was somewhat predictable, there was a surprising twist along the way.

So the acting in this movie is really quite good, and that's about all the praise it deserves.
There is an interesting idea in this, and by all accounts the movie's message was well intentioned, but honestly the plot is one of the most bizarre and atrociously constructed that I've seen.
There are an absurd amount of plot holes and narrative choices that simply don't make logistical sense. This collection of scenes that has been stitched together and passed off as a movie is a tearjerker to be sure, but it's just bait. It wants you to shed a tear and after the movie has finished be fooled into believing you watched something deep.
It's not deep, but it is…
watched this on the plane. listen man i had lots of time on my hands this was an 8 hour flight. this movie sucked ass😭 i can't usually fall asleep on planes but this made me. what a waste of such a talented cast.
Edward Norton, Kate Winslet und Will Smith in einem Film verspricht hohe Schauspielkunst und lässt befürchten, dass diese Schauspieler über ein schlechtes Drehbuch hinwegtäuschen sollen. Beides trifft zu - leider. Howard hat seine Tochter verloren und kann dies nicht verarbeiten. Seine drei Freunde haben eigene Probleme und wollen ihm trotzdem helfen. Sie engagieren drei Schauspieler, die den "Tod", die "Liebe" und die "Zeit" spielen sollen und im Übrigen von weiteren bekannten Darstellern dargestellt werden. Die Story ist kitschig, aber selbst wenn man den Film als Märchen begreift, funktioniert es nicht, besonders deswegen, weil es zu viele Charaktere gibt, die alle oberflächlich bleiben. Alles wirkt konstruiert, lieblos erzählt, zu hastig und ohne Tiefgang - obwohl es viele Möglichkeiten für Tiefgang gegeben…
