Those Who Are Fine (2017) User Reviews

Not really a "drama" - but intriguing

[av_m · 7/10 · 5 August 2022]

I liked this film, although it's hard to express why.

It doesn't fit into any standard category - not really dramatic per "drama", certainly not a thriller or romcom - kind of just a story.

The pacing is, apparently by intent, glacial; and, I think I missed some substantial portions of the director's "messaging".

The characters, apparently also by intent, are utterly non-descript and the cinematography is practically monochrome.

The whole thing is an enigma - and maybe that's why it's likable, or, at least, I liked it, although, as I said at the outset, I don't quite know why.

XXL boring

Very slow, nothing happening. Switzerland seams to be a place where everybody is bored and where codes are shared. Some scenes in the call center were somewhat amusing.

Yeah this is live

A typical wait-for-it. No, nothing explodes here, just as in your life and you have tp know loads of numbers by hard to get around. But this is an amazing slow paced heist movie. Dealing with our digital online financial life.

Effective, relatable, slow building, drama. Essential humanistic study.

How often have you told a perfect stranger call centrist your current account status? Eben!

Amateurish in terms of acting, directing and intent.

Supposedly a major statement on modern day Swiss society this movie is preoccupied with aspects of the internet, smart phones, individual pass codes, armed security checks of passers-by on the street and, ultimately an individual scamming the elderly.

While the movie may have intended merit, the final outcome is mediocre. The majority of the actors appear to be amateurs using a poorly written script or left to their own awkward and inane ad libs that by intent relate to telemarketing campaigns for a cheap rate health insurance scheme and an equally dubious internet campaign all of which underline the makeshift nature of this endeavor.

The cinematography involves a limited number of busy street locations in Zurich with busy traffic and multiple long shots that dispense with any need to choreography the dialog with the actual actors whose level of energy is slightly above that of rigor mortis.

The director/writer is one to watch out for and avoid.
