Saltburn (2023)
A disgusting dark yet a boring & predictable movie, complete waste of time, no-twists unlike other reviews seem to suggest, it's a very predictable plot
The writer and producer probably wrote the script thinking, if you can't convince the audience, confuse them. Disgusting sexually explicit scenes, and the portrayal of unnecessary sexual story or scenes that have absolutely no connection to the plot. There is not much of a plot really just a blatantly lying selfish mentally ill person who does horrible things, I won't spoil it but it's pretty obvious into the movie. I don't know who put this in Comedy genre, there is absolutely no comedy. There is no thriller also really, whatever happens is very predictable. All of us who watched it together felt like we wasted our time on this movie, don't know why it was rated that high, it was just utter garbage.
Finestkind (2023)
A Good Movie with a Thin Plot
The film fell short of delivering the suspense and thrills I had anticipated from a crime/thriller genre. The first half, centered around fishing boat expeditions, impressed with its visuals and sound design, yet it left me craving a deeper narrative. The second half veered into familiar drug and crime territory, lacking a substantial storyline. However, the movie managed to wrap up on a somewhat positive note, leaving me with a feel-good sentiment despite its shortcomings.
It's worth noting that I had the privilege of viewing this film at TIFF, where ticket prices were notably higher than usual. TIFF premium screenings typically include appearances by the cast, and my wife had eagerly anticipated seeing more members of the cast e.g. Jenna Ortega live. Unfortunately, her absence was a disappointment to her. Additionally, prior to the screening, Google erroneously listed Jake Gyllenhaal and Zendaya in the cast, further elevating my expectations. While these factors may not directly impact my rating (which I tried to base primarily on my watching experience), they undoubtedly contributed to my elevated hopes, particularly given Gyllenhaal's impressive track record in exceptional crime/thriller films like "Nightcrawler."
