A Woman Escapes (2022) User Reviews

Unnecessarily boring

[edarel · 1/10 · 10 October 2022]

Chekhov said "show, don't tell".

This movie doesn't show, doesn't tell, and doesn't even narrates.

At some point, all three characters will state their version of the argument the movie tries to make, but none on its own, nor any combination of them actually make any sense.

It includes unnecessary 3D sections, that add no value, and that are uncomfortable to watch.

It's set on the very beginning of COVID-19 pandemic, and the plot it's so snobbish and self-centered that doesn't mention any of it.

I invested 81 minutes of my life watching this movie, and I want them back.

The staring actress looked as bored as everyone else in the theater, the whole time.

A movie like a torture method

[gurursonmez · 1/10 · 11 April 2023]

Everyone is free to make a personal movie. But when they put films like this in the selection of film festivals, it's a torture for people.

The narrative is based on the messages sent by three friends to each other. The dialogues have neither poetic significance nor a seminal importance as a cinematic language. The shots shown in accordance with the texts have no cinematic significance. Would you like to see a girl sleeping, drinking coffee, or someone walking around on Google street? Then you can go to this movie

The movie is formally and technically flawless. However, its narrative contains personal experiences. Nor does it have fragments of imagery that can stimulate the viewer's own inner experiences.

I wonder about the motivation behind presenting a film to international film festivals where only those who made the film can appreciate it.
