Spencer (2021)
Even with great acting, a total waste of time
The only, I mean ONLY good thing about this movie is the acting, especially in playing Diana. But it is not enough to save it. I am mad at myself for watching it all. I just couldn't believe it would be so bad all the way through. If anything, it gets worse as it progresses. No story, no fascinating characters ... nothing.
A Film About Coffee (2014)
Beautiful, but low on promised information
I'm a coffee devotee, for sure, with more knowledge about coffee than average, but I expected to learn something new. (After all, who but coffee nuts are going to go see a film about nothing but?) I learned nothing. The film is truly beautiful, and some of the images they captured of the producers and retailers were stunning. Unfortunately, that is all the movie is.
I was hoping for some beauty, as coffee is produced in some of the prettiest areas on earth, but I also expected guidance through the coffee process. You could make an argument that the images are there, but the way the visuals were presented reminded me of a collage. Think of how a collage compares to a well-researched magazine article, and you will understand where I feel the movie fell down. If you are looking to increase your knowledge of coffee, coffee production or even the structure/politics of the coffee world, you will be disappointed.
I would have been happy with this as a summer TV filler piece, but I paid full price at my local indie movie theatre. It wasn't worth it.
