Review of The Souvenir

The Souvenir (2019)
9/10
People, this is just Part 1!
19 November 2019
I saw a lot of complaints about the anti-climactic(?) ending, but Nymphomaniac Part 1 for example had an abrupt one too. Is it necessary that every movie/episode to be a shot of adrenaline until the next part/episode comes out? have a little patience and wait for the sequel...

Having said that, this movie has EXCELLENT cinematography (amazing colors, great scenery and still frames), REALISTIC (finally) dialogues which you rarely see in movies, plus, it communicates effectively (aka by SHOWING LACONICALLY) what it is to be in a codependent and therefore toxic relationship and its severe implications.

I can understand not finding the subject particularly interesting or engaging (part of the reason I didn't rate it 10/10), but it's a movie, it's cinema at the end of the day... If those things I mentioned above are not enough to like a film, i don't know what will be.
