Review of La Flor

La Flor (2018)
1/10
This Is Not One Single Film

Warning: Spoilers
I've seen long films. Actual films that had one main plot, several subplots, but were all coherently sound and complimented the main plot. This is six films strung together with cheap tape and called one film. If it was a single film, the director wouldn't constantly interrupt it to tell the viewer the next film to be showed. He wouldn't have had it edited to be split into several parts in creation of several films (which this is.) The director basically produced six films, called it one film and got people at festivals to watch it all in one day.

Prankster troll. That's the only thing about this that makes sense. I gave this a 1/10 'cause if rating it, one can only give it a 1/10 or a 10/10 and not because it is either of those ratings but because you can't really rate six films as one single film that actually does not connect to each other other than the same four actresses are the main characters in each of them. If the stories actually connected to each other, than yeah...sure, you could give it an honest rating but none of them do so it gets a 1/10 or a 10/10; not that it's deserving of either.

The audience is being punked by watching this as one film when obviously it's six separate films; the director implies this by his very presence throughout. That's why I'm giving it 1/10; and while I did watch all six films, I've seen enough films/tv (47,000+ ratings here) to know when I'm being had.
