Paper Lives (2021)
6/10
It had the ingredients to be great, but it isn't
13 July 2022
A movie that is built upon various respectable topics: poverty; mental health; loneliness. The story itself is excellent.

Unfortunately, it's not built that well, at least not in my opinion.

The soundtrack feels intrusive, at times, as it tries to force you into a more emotional state. But this frequently backfires, removing the immersion from what is happening on screen.

The occasional humor was very bland and felt out of place.

The frequent dances reminded me of Bollywood movies (nothing against it, but I personally dislike it).

Since my complaints are quite subjective, I would not describe this as a bad movie in any way. But definitely, not my concept of a great movie.
