Alien Intervention (2023)
Sub par Special Effects don't ruin an awesome story
This movie kinda frustrated me to some extent because I could actually see it having attracted a few major names as all the characters were richly defined and had interesting unique perspectives. I'm guessing it was fairly low budget, however unlike most low budget films it's extremely well shot and very well edited. And the acting is amazing too, just the cast are a bunch of randoms. The only person I recognized was the agent guy but only because I recently watched Oppenheimer. So all in all, this film gets an 8 because it really is so well done and is really thoughtful, just have the feeling with a star in the cast it coulda been the next First Cow or something.
Here's to hoping the creatives behind this one find the avenue to put out another film.
Agnes (2021)
the foibles of mis labeling a genre....
Clearly this is not a horror film. And clearly it's not a thriller. Agnes is a great arthouse dry comedy that features a fantastic cast who fully commit to the director's vision and largely execute the story to depict a bleak and slightly askew reality. For me the movie asks the question "what do you do when the thing that anchors your worldview and identity disintegrates?
That's clearly the main character's journey, who by the way, is not Agnes. Agnes is simply the catalyst that causes a disillusioned nun to float off into the world trying to discover something else to hold onto. And in the end, she doesn't find it, but she does discover something that gives her hope, I think?
