Purely Joyful Movie!

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Watching this made me realize that the art of filmmaking is still alive and well, from having a beautiful "green colored" screen to great acting and bonding between the actors

This film, obviously shot with architecture in mind, has a story that could be told in about 20 seconds. In effect, the film never actually starts. If you have trouble sleeping, and have about three spare sessions, or days, then watch this film, you will be cured, rest assured. The music alone sends one into a hypnotic spiral of wine induced sleepiness. This said, i did watch the whole darn thing, i did rate it more than one star, and there are actually worse movies out there. I would say, go into this one with your eyes open, but that might not last very long.

I'm truly amazed by this movie and how beautfully was shot. Every shot was precised, balanced and the most important aspect that it had soul. Every shot that I saw, tried to tell something, and had a meaning. The camera barely moves, it doesn't want you to move either, it wants you to pay attention to the details and to the characters interactions.
I really loved the calm slow pacing, it felt dream-like, and thanks to the great sound design the atmosphere, the sounds felt so alive, almost touchable.
I think everybody can relate to each of the characters and their stories... The passionate young girl who wants to follow her dream but also she needs to look after her mother, and the son who never came out with his father and now his father dying. The instresting thing is that how the director wants to tell these stories. And it really works with all the characters. Their interactions with eachother and how they're connected with the love of architecture is so uplifting heartwarming, and intimate.
A very beutiful movie about human interactions trough art.

'Columbus' is a near-masterpiece. No kidding! Written and Directed by Kogonada, 'Columbus' is a film that screams craft & skill. Its a small little film, made with passion & heart. And the actors, all of them -- are top-notch!'Columbus' Synopsis: A Korean-born man finds himself stuck in Columbus, Indiana, where his architect father is in a coma. The man meets a young woman who wants to stay in Columbus with her mother, a recovering addict, instead of pursuing her own dreams.'Columbus' is about human beings, its about us. And there is nothing harder than to tell a story about us, I believe. But, Kogonada achieves this feat with mega success. This story of souls wandering in Columbus, Indiana is a tribute to architecture & the ride called life, itself. Its a quietly devastating film, that asks you to feel. Kogonada's Screenplay is fabulous & so his is Direction. Cinematography & Editing compliment Kogonada's vision to great results.Performance-Wise: John Cho, Haley Lu Richardson, Parker Posey, Rory Culkin, Michelle Forbes and Jim Dougherty, ALL, are tremendous. Haley Lu takes the lead, delivering a performance driven by heartache & shattered dreams. She has the potential to go places! John Cho is masterfully restrained & expresses grief, with subtlety. The irresistible Parker Posey continues her winning streak. And Roy Culkin adds a nice boyish charm to his earnest character. On the whole, 'Columbus' comes out of nowhere & ends up taking a part out of you. How often do films do that nowadays?
