The Filmmaker (I) (2018) User Reviews

Quite Simply Horrible

[arfdawg-1 · 1/10 · 9 May 2024]

I put this on because it got an unheard of 8.1 rating here. After viewing it, I noticed it actually got only ONE written review. And that was a FIVE.

So in other words, all the other votes that bring the rating up to Citizen Kane levels are PHONY. Likely people who worked on this garbage.

I cannot imagine anyone actually even remotely liking this garbage,

It's slow beyond slow.

The acting is literally juvie level. Like 12 year olds putting on a show in the back yard. No Joke.

The writing is ludicrous and the directing......well.....what directing?

The person who made this should never, ever, under any circumstances work again. Ever. Never.

Meh. A low budget way to pass some time.

A story of questionable parentage and untold secrets.

This was obviously shot on a budget. While I don't often mind a slow moving story, there is so much filler with shots of Vegas, pictures of postcards, and long shots of people walking, staring out the window smoking, or not talking to people that were it all removed, the brisk 1 hour and 19 minute film would be a mere 30-40 minutes.

There are some odd choices mid movie where the shots are in infrared or have introduced classic film errors (like reel stutter, or damaged negative feel) that don't add anything to the story and feel as though they were additions to show that they could do those effects.

I didn't hate the story. I wasn't offended by the acting. I just wasn't overly impressed with anything. The title of this review pretty much sums up my feelings.
