Mouth to Mouth (2005)
Coercion masquerading as Rebellion
Possibly, Mouth to Mouth is not to everyone's taste. Not everyone loves criticism of control and coercion masquerading as rebellion. Not everyone loves experimentation and risk taking in film - Mouth to Mouth has lots of this. For the director's first feature, this film has a flair and playfulness as well as a depth of argument. The story is cunningly woven around the lead character's search for acceptance and meaning. It is also a virtuoso performance by Elliot Page, still Ellen, who treats the audience to a multi-faceted brave young woman character - we need to see more female characters of this style. The 80's music of The Stranglers that opens the film gives a taste of the urgency and grit that will follow. Great movie.
MK Ultra (2022)
worth it...
Woah. Thats what it called mind-blowing. I'm knocked. I can't begin to understand the negative responses. Anyone wanting a documentary to learn what the H happened in detail go elsewhere you're too boring for the mind screw of this film. Here you feel it. Watching this film was something special. People in the way it lulls you into its nasty grasp and then sucks the air out of the room. You feel the lack of hope and escape in each scene till that climax. We had to pause for breath then thrown back into this shock hell of MK ULTRA. A film worth experiencing and would have been great to see in theatres. Shame the film was buried in this recent release. Was it the Government?
