Fingernails (2023)
Painfully slow, awfully yawn inducing
A painfully slow movie. I was waiting for something that would redeem it and it eventually led to a conclusion that left me concluding that the protagonist has serious mental health issues. The story telling is so bland. Only things that I liked was the production quality and cinematography.
Most of the things about the "test" and the "institute" felt awfully thought out, with nothing that hold beyond the surface. The director fails to keep things straight and I found myself questioning the premise at every 5 minutes. Writing felt lazy and it takes us for granted.
I kept checking when it is going to end from the half way point.
Us (2019)
+ visuals, cinematography - Over-hyped, convoluted, ridden with plot-holes
I do not get all the hype around this movie after it has been seen by so many people. I was hyped too, because of Get Out, but Us is super disappointing. First of all, it is not a horror movie. And it is not because it did not have jump scare or other tropes, in fact, it had quite a few of those. Every time they built up to a tense situation, one of the characters would say or do something goofy and it would kill the whole vibe. I was in the cinema hall and a lot of the time I and others were just laughing at scenes. If this was meant to be a horror spoof, then maybe it had something to it, but then it was not mounted as such. It left me very confused. Also, all the subtexts that people are reading into it, I did not get any of it. It would be very pretentious if I just had to come out and say "yeah, it's an awesome movie". I am a sucker for psychological thrillers, but this one ain't that either. And the plot has so many holes and convenient turns, that I am not even asking for any explanations. My only positive for this movie is some of the awesome visuals and cinematography.
