Une fille facile (2019)
Pointless and swallow spectacle appraised by critics
The whole movie revolves around swallow characters aspiring to very controversial values (sex as a means of entering the high society and attaining a lavish lifestyle). In fact, in many instances, the movie contains unnecessary scenes of sex and nudity which serve no purpose except for providing visual pleasure to the audiences.
Also, most conversations of the movie are rather superficial and meaningless, devoid of any form of intellect or profoundness. This highlights the superficiality of the characters, as they seem unable to produce more meaningful and thought-provoking discussions.
In addition to that, the ending of the movie, found the characters in an almost identical state as they were in the beginning of the movie. The only change was in Naima's envy of the lavish lifestyle. However, this minor change does not seem important enough to justify the rest of the movie. Hence, that's why I believe that the movie was pointless: Because, for the most part, the narrative did not offer anything to the development of the portrayed characters, nor did it add anything important to what was already known in the beginning.
True Story (2015)
An incomplete approach to a true story
Admittedly, the nature of the story seems pretty compelling at first, making you curious about how the plot will evolve. Adding to that, the character development seems rather adequate, preparing you for the upcoming trial.
However, the whole story actually becomes a little dull, especially towards the end.The most anticipated moment of the movie -the trial- ends in the most predictable manner;It just corroborates what we knew from the beginning, without adding anything to the plot. But most importantly,the actual connection of the two protagonists is never explained. Nor do we understand their supposed "resemblance" or the reason why Logo chose to impersonate Finkel. Last but not least, the reason why Finkel kept in touch with Logo after the trial -despite Michael's repulsion for Logo- is never mentioned.
