Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

yjudith I'm a fan of Ellen Page so I was surprised that not only did I not like her in this movie, I found her to be so annoying that I couldn't wait for the movie to end so I didn't have to hear her voice. The story itself was a good one, but the phoniness of what goes down once Hayley and Jeff are back at his apartment is so over the top and the story just kind of fades.Once he wakes tied up in the chair...fake!!! He has to outweigh her by a good 80 pounds of dead weight and the way he fits in the chair; I found it hard to fathom. This isnt a movie of high, fast-paced drama, so my mind was had too much time to start checking all the far-fetched things that were going on.

VenturousArtist Hard Candy is a challenging film to experience viewing. It's discomforting, questionable, and shares a weird parallel with reality as it discusses a heavy controversial topic. It immediately immerses audiences into its unsettling universe where everyone are either perpetrators or oblivious to the main narrative. Despite focusing primarily on two characters, what mysterious events unfold among them are deeply alienating and horrific.However, even with its powerful narrative and performances, it's a complicated and vague film that expects audiences to develop their interpretations of certain outcomes than presenting them. Other issues include its sometimes disjointed cinematography, disposable minor characters, characters having an identity crisis, some misleading and miswritten scenes, and obvious missed opportunities to make a statement in exchange of simpler storytelling.It's a seemingly hard film to watch that's actually harder to chew.

ohmydarling-99414 No two people will have he exact same outlook, view, emotion, feeling, mindset, or ways of coping/dealing with a single thing. Especially on topics the movie is based around. Even without firsthand experience..empathy can go a long way. Positively and negatively. And wit that, there's balance. Two wrongs have never made a right and two rights are too underrated. We as humans, know what's right and what's wrong. No matter how many are punished for what they've put others through, many more will continue to be harmed, with or without them around. Many people deserve to get back exactly what they've given. And then some, most of the time. Yet, there are many ways of doing so. Ways that don't have to add onto your pain and hurt. What earned you your vengeance. It hurts and it enrages..but stooping to their level or lower, makes it all the worse. And just when you thought it couldn't get any worse. In the end, we all lose, when it comes to starting off the disregard for another human. Another living thing entirely. You bit hard, and either you get away with it, or you get bitten 10x harder..you never know how much pain your causing someone. Because while you may believe that it isn't your problem, it just may be the biggest one you'll ever regret causing for someone. Just like the monster is capable, so is the victim. Be aware of what you do and why you do it, when it comes to harming those who've never intended on doing so to you. They may do worse than you, in the end. Don't hurt the undeserved. It can backfire beyond belief. Your belief. We're human, but we all have met a monster at some point. Knowingly or unknowingly. They walk alongside human beings every single day. Why encourage more to come out? How could that possibly be enjoyable? I don't understand. I never will. This film reminded me of my life and honestly, my mindset. For years. The only difference with me on that matter is, I'm still human. I can't gain anything through harming others, as they've done me. Physically and mentally. I'm not them. Nor will I ever be anything close. It could drive you off the wall, the thought alone. No one's born afraid of nothing. Again...two wrongs don't make a right. Meaning, no one will win, in the end. The acting though, as well as the story line, very well done in my opinion. But of course, this can easily be found disturbing towards those who have been a subject to sexual abuse, forced sexual acts/sexual physical contact (I won't say the words. It even hurts and angers me more me to say them.) as well as having a loved you who has experienced any of these matters, in their own ways.

Ian (Flash Review)This film is dark and uncomfortably aptly named. I was close to turning it off at a couple points but was too vested by that point. The basis of the movie is a supposedly mid-aged teenager sets out to teach an older man a lesson who tries to befriend a certain age of girl in chat rooms. That's about as PC as I can put it. There are really only two characters in the whole film who do a great job in acting out the tense situations. The production value, color usage and shot framing were wisely executed and the key scenes of the climax for the tension capture the psychological anguish rather than visually tossing it the viewer's face. I was a bit surprised by how easily the girl got the upper hand in situations that needed ample planning; potential plot holes if you look for them. It was a difficult watch also because the two characters are rotten people so no one really to root for….well, you kind of root for a bad guy as you slowly learn about him. Tense and dark if you want to go that route.
