Movie Review: "Projections

After this absolute disaster, I decided to give yet another loud-mouthed American movie a second chance. I actually sat down to watch it because some TV "critics" were raving about it, quoting, "it's definitely worth a watch."

Well—it isn't.

During the first third, I felt physically nauseous. They filmed it using this handheld style where the camera acts as the eyes of one of the actresses. So, whenever she moves from a chair to the stairs, the frame jerks and spins everywhere. It’s dizzying. At one point, I actually had to stop watching because I felt sick.

The plot: what is even happening here? 🤷 That question hangs over your head the entire time.

It is boring to death.

The only redeeming quality is the costume design. Regardless of the fact that the actresses are older—some more weathered than others, some fuller, some thinner—they were dressed incredibly well. 👍 I especially loved Jane Doe's entire look, though she was great in this film regardless.

Bottom line: the acting isn't the problem, the movie itself is just bad and tedious.

P.S. Just like on the Master forums or at the local indie screenings, I was the only person in the theater.

Hey Ogrest, here’s what people are saying about your movie... you’ve got one post here.

There are plenty more posts in this thread.

Sure, but not about this one movie everyone keeps raving about. And from what I can see, nobody’s actually sat down and watched it yet.

You've got it wrong—it's specifically about that movie. Most of your posts were at the end of last July, right after San Francisco.
