Don't Worry, I'm Fine (2006)

unrealistic but unimaginative, slow

[3/10 · 3 November 2008]

I was expecting a real mystery, complex (or at least well balanced and realistic) characters, real family relationships study.

The plot line seemed intriguing and I like independent witty movies.

From the beginning, it feels shallow, full of clichés, and like a first attempt to paint places, people, life.

I started to watch it at 2x with subtitles when it becomes too silly and unrealistic, when she stopped eating and was kept in the hospital like a prisoner.

Even at 2x it was boring and depressing.

So I jumped at the end of the movie in order to know the truth about Loïc.

The truth is, you won't miss anything by avoiding this dull movie.

Blindness (2008)

slow, stupid, ugly

[1/10 · 19 October 2008]

I am usually a fan of sci-fi and catastrophe movies, and I am not very demanding. I also love end-of-the-world movies, apocalyptic movies, and philosophical studies of the human mind. I went to see this with middle expectations.

I was hugely disappointed.

Things don't seem credible from the very beginning. People's behavior doesn't feel right.

And it is slow, slow, slow !

And there are so many dumb scenes !

And characters are so dumb too !

And there are so many huge plot holes !

It is my first review on IMDb, I felt compelled to write one for this pile of crap.
