The Persian Version (2023)
Unconvincing and forced
Tries too hard to be cutsie and cool. Characters are wooden and simplistic, narrative is disjointed and hard to follow the story's chronology. When the film asks us to believe the narrator's father is a practicing doctor without health insurance and the mother has no transferrable high school diploma and has to take GED course (instead of just an exam), I gave up. The five brothers are cartoonish and not a bit funny. To think the film got an Audience Award at Sundance doesn't reflect well on that audience (or the festival). Spend your money on better new films like the hilarious Pakistani-American POLITE SOCIETY instead.
Orpheline (2016)
Sleazy mindless waste
Well-known actresses in a sleazy sloppy fragmented excuse of a plot that makes no sense and goes nowhere. Character portrayals and behavior are sketchy and totally unconvincing, dialogue mindless, with crater size holes in the plot. The old males are all creepy and disgusting. How did this film get released? Why do I have to say anything else to submit this review? This film is unwatchable after barely 15 minutes. I feel sorry for attractive actresses to be so abused by appearing in this film. Couldn't they tell from reading the script that what they were getting themselves into? I am saving you time with this warning.
The Right One (2021)
Must be the most god-awful movie streaming right now
This must be the worst written and performed movie in many decades. How could the actors in it not know they are in a very bad movie unless they are really bad actors. Ridiculous plot, complete lack of humor, pacing, any semblance of intelligence. I watched for Coleman's incredible lips and fast forwarded thru a lot of this pathetic film. Since the review is still too short and I have nothing positive to say, I will continue to type until I reach the required number of characters , and I still need 100 and if I knew this had to be so long, I wouldn't have started. I can't believe people get funded to make such trash.
The Voyeurs (2021)
One overriding reason to watch this film
The film's main draw is Sydney Sweeney and her amazing breasts. It is also wonderfully shot but the plot, characters' motivations and behavior, are all risible. No amount of good acting (and there is none) could have drawn us into this utterly unconvincing drama.
