The Ravine (2021)
Really turns bad...
Watched almost an hour of it, and then it turned silly, a mock-form of wrong Christianity that will not stand test on judgement day. The acting seems good through some credible actors, but soon had me wondering what I was watching.
Quit and do not recommend it unless you like a twisted form of faith that's fairly clueless in many ways.
Do not watch this thing: plot stinks, acting okay until got hammy, nice big houses and jobs and cars but a good story not where this thing is going.
Bleak Moments (1971)
Amazing bit of bleak work
I've only watched half of this cool title, but if you don't like awkward non-liveliness, this is not the one for you.
What I think Leigh is getting at is the brokenness in us all, but amping it up for all of us to see ourselves as we are in our least-energized most-unwell moments. It little matters that we all have these bleak spaces in our psyche, for that is where we all start when born helpless lurchpieces, and then often develop into cramped clenched little spaces ... unless we kick free of what holds us back ... and even then, for we are no great shakes in the grander non-human expanses of this cosmos.
Hugely humourus in a swarmy way is the material Leigh gives us, and so well acted as to be worthy of all the honour we fallen little creatures can muster up for it.
