Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)

Overrated

[3/10 · 18 March 2023]

They gave 7 Oscars to what is basically a crossover between Disney's "Brave" and "Rick and Morty".

Milking the meme culture of our age that makes anything meme-able or gif-able automatically successful.

It is just an opinion but I don't believe that being absurd makes you funny, or that hot-dog hands and butt plugs are original and clever sources of humour.

The only thing that it got accurately was how noisy the mother - daughter relationship is and how most of the time it doesn't make sense. But, again, a Disney film can do that too, it's nothing groundbreaking and definitely cannot "save" the rest of the film.

Hunting and Gathering (2007)

Really spoiled the book

[3/10 · 30 May 2012]

It was a summary of the book with more than one wrong dialogs and made the whole case feel somehow unimportant. After reading the book I burst into tears, after the film though I felt absolutely nothing. Don't watch it if you have read it for those who haven't read it could be a quite nice little film but actually it has nothing to do with the book's perfection. While in the book you get the feeling of warmth and affection between all the four characters and get the anger and dislike of Frank and Camille transforming to love gradually and in an interesting way the film doesn't offer you any of that,plus it doesn't contain many interesting details concerning the former lives of all the characters. Their feelings are changed and their characteristics are not that similar. I'd say that someone who hasn't read it may find it interesting but I found it rather disappointing.
