Today i felt a desire to lay down a couple of words since the movie gifted me with quite an emotional trip. So here goes a bit of an unsual review.
I got unfollowed by someone after my first rating of this movie. I guess they couldn't handle a difference of opinions since their own score put the movie at just one star. I hope you're feeling better, dear ex-follower, wherever you are and may you find movies that will…
I don't usually write reviews, not for entertainment media, not for things i buy, not for anything. I don't think my opinion has much worth in the grand scheme of things. I'd rather enjoy other people's thoughts on matters since i don't think i can do a much better or similar job to them. So why bother? Because this time it's different. The notes that play ring deep inside of me. I want to remember the feelings it left me…
As a choice of the last movie to watch for 2021, this film will forever be ingrained in my memories: a perfect mixture of hauntingly beautiful lines and soul crushing scenes that linger into my heart in a perpetual state of emotional contradictions on the human condition.
"I realized something today. I'm a non-person, Sarah. You shouldn't be here, I'm not here. You may see me, but I'm hollow." - Henry Barthes
Painfully realistic and resonating line delivered by Adrien Brody.
Exceptional film.
