Black Bear (I) (2020)

Movie-within-a-movie
21 July 2023
If we split this movie into two halves, those two parts could easily camouflage as two different stories with two entirely differing interpretations.

The first half leaned more towards a conventional work of nail-biter as it delineates a tale fraught with adequate anticipation and raw energy, and I liked it primarily because of the tension that was nurtured quite brilliantly.

The second part, however, embraces a "movie-within-a-movie" approach, and I have got mixed feelings about this.

They do give us some exciting insights into the craft of filmmaking, but because I am not personally a fan of all these 'breaking the immersion' sorts of things, I didn't enjoy it and felt like the movie could have done much better without it!

But hey, that's just me; if you disagree, I totally get it.
