The Lighthouse (2019)
Doesn't know what it is
I love arthouse film which i think this is going for and a lot of criticism on arthouse film is it tries too hard
to be clever which i've never agreed with until now but you have to take into account there is nothing to this film. I love the use of sound and robert was incredible but that's about where my praise ends. For starters i hate when films mess around with aspect ratio just to make it look more arty, ive seen reviews saying it's to give the feeling of claustrophobia and being boxed in but the actual director states the opposite. The themes and metaphors are practically shoved into your face while eluding the idea there are more we should be grasping however it just feels like it's an art project from someone who wanted to make something profound but just made boring mush.
Primal Fear (1996)
Incredible, intense and iconic.
Proving his oscar nomination worthy, Edward norton delivers a beautiful performance. Every line he delivers leaves the watcher feeling an intense anxiety either for him or our main character marty (Richard Gere). Watching this film i was worried about the ending and if it would be satisfying based on how the film is built, the plot twist at the end i believe did satisfy that perfect ending, without spoiling it i believe that showing an imperfect trial adds to the reality of what a job of a defense attorney is. I would absolutely tell anyone who likes high intensity and incredible acting.
My Own Private Idaho (1991)
Heartache
It's one of them films that just make you so invested that you get so stressed and you genuinely feel the pain of the main character and you just want to throw everything away after you watch it especially the ending just- everything makes your stomach ill, great film absolutely.
