Civil War (2024)
Highly recommended
Alex Garland is one of my favorite writers. Wrote Ex Machina - a masterpiece. His style is not for everyone, but I love it.
Civil War doesn't explain what caused the war, and that's a creative decision that I like. At first my curious side was annoyed for not knowing. What happened? Who's in each side? How many sides are they?
But my wife explained: it's so you can not blame the democrats or the republicans.
That opened my eyes. And not just that, it was so chaotic that it felt like it didn't matter who was shooting who. A scene on a street decorated with Christmas brilliantly represents this.
Great performance from all but especially from Kirstin - one of my favorites. Puts so much into each character. So much depth.
Blasting sound. Sound on the shooting scene at the end elevated several levels the strength of impact. And then came flying a helicopter or plane and it elevated everything one more level.
I'm going to watch this movie again. Highly recommended.
Soft & Quiet (2022)
Immersive
The way it is filmed makes you feel that you are there. The dialogue makes you believe that what's happening is real.
Long takes full with movement. The movie was shot in 4 days. Insane production that paid off.
Characters are frustrated with their lives. They blame others for their misfortunes.
The protagonist is a kindergarten teacher who is the opposite of who you would imagine being a white supremacist.
The director uses a lot of stereotypes and then takes them apart. Plays a lot with the audience. Not easy to watch. It will make you uncomfortable.
Quick rhythm from the beginning and it only goes up and up.
Artistic film that you will love.
