Dimland (2021)
Incomprehensible
I'm not sure what this movie was supposed to be about. No true beginning to set a foundation or to give context. A masked human-like odd and painfully depressed entity. Female lead becomes almost psychotically paralyzed on first meeting with the masked entity. Her boyfriend forces the entity to leave trying to protect her and reassure her he is there for her. The bf and woman go on a picnic when the entity arrives but answers questions in mostly a monotone and in very few words. Yet the girl begins to sneak out each night to wander in the dark forest with. I found no real information or reason the entity is there or why it is so important other than it seems to have been a small part of her childhood that she isn't exactly sure she remembers. The entity takes her to an inbetween world the girl is afraid of saying it's scary then describes it as peaceful in the next breath.
A plotless movie. I could find no point to this movie.
Woman in Gold (2015)
Restitution, Art, History, Humanity, in true life.
I am just now seeing this docudrama of past world historical injustices being brought to a brighter light and the fight for restitution. Moving and emotional and satisfying. As this is an older film, at the time, it seemed as if Ryan Reynolds acting was stiff and he was having difficulty understanding how to project, as an actor, the deep shock and emotional pain of just how his grandfather died. Helen Mirren on the other hand has perfected her craft and pulls you in as she looks into the old Pharmacy where her and her husband escape from certain death at the hands if Nazis and a new journey of life began.
