Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Kirpianuscus A film using memories and working in skin of delicate memories. about love, loss, friendship, need of the other , crumbs of New Wave , Antinous and self definition from the pieces of past. a beautiful cinematography. and the familiar universe of Xavier Dolan. short, a sensitive, charming, seductive film, about nuances of feelings, expectations and choices of the other, about refuges. the film is almost a revelation for atmosphere. for precise delicacy and admirable elegance. and for the manner to use the experiences of viewer as basic piece of film seduction source.

chaos-rampant Nothing new transpires here, a boy and girl fall for the same boy who's new in town, a vacant hunk exuding aftershave ad sex. I question why either of these two very spirited beings would waste their time so, but the film isn't made from a point in life where choices have cosmic import, it still has time and youth to spare, wounds to receive, a blank first page to be written on.The filmmaker was barely 20 years old when he made this. What shall we say to him, why don't you have the soul of a 50 year old? It's enough that he is creative, more so than most of us at that point. He's the main actor, writer, and, it seems, the fashion eye behind the whole thing, the one who would have the sense to put his leading girl in the vintage dress, himself in the fiery red jacket. The film is empty, in the sense French New Wave is, which this derives inspiration from. It offers the amalgamation of moments, breaking up story to re-arrange fragments of it in a room that characters walk through. A lot of it is simply stylized, more directly via Wong Kar Wai; languid smoke, slow motion walking in the rain, pensive touch. A lot is simply a matter of having the fashion sense to coordinate colors and bodies of image, music video inspired.It does reach me a bit vacant. But that's all part of the life lived up to that point, not omission by ignorance. I'll have this than attempts at forced professionalism in the hopes of landing a Hollywood gig. It's vacancy in the sense of a capacity to be filled by all the stuff that come with baring soul. Who knows, in time he may grow out of dressing the seduction, or not. But you'll see here someone who has a natural fondness for people, how faces can give away a hint of inmost troubles, reluctance, awkwardness, glimmers of yearning. It shows an interested human being who wants to find that elusive life no words ever do justice, only breath. The most fundamental tool in creative life (and any life that wants to perceive clearly, be alert to its surroundings) is a love for observing. This seems much harder to learn than all the other things. He has this and I'm happy to make the acquaintance.

KylieRempel First off, let me say that this movie is very chic.The pacing of the main plot is inter-cut with clips of other characters discussing their own romances or failed romances Harry Met Sally Style - except the tales that these characters are relating is nowhere near as cutesy.The basic plot of the movie is thus, a gay friend and a straight friend both have the hots for the same super-smooth blond, Nicholas (Niel Schnieder).Both Xavier's character (who seems like he is Xavier himself) and Marie, played by Monia Chokri are friendly and flirtatious with the object of their affections - but in the end all is for naught and the player chooses neither.The look of the movie is sleek in terms of style and there is a lot to enjoy here in terms of character development and dialogue. It also neatly avoids happy skip into the sunset endings in favour of brutal realism.

Tim Kidner I love the pace and styling of this modernisation (perhaps) of Jules et Jim. I love the hyper-sensed colouration and classy music-video slo- mo's, with the characters holding their lofty pretty heads even higher, set to a beautifully hip soundtrack.Moni Chakri, the elegant brunette, who loves Audrey Hepburn is Dolan's character's best friend; hanging out and sharing moments, rather like Will and Grace. When cherubic, blonde curly haired Neils Schreider lands in their pretty laps, all sorts of questions about sexuality are thrown open and explored. It's all done with dignity and poise; no-one screams or hits anyone.22 year old director Xavier Dolan, (who also stars) for this French- Canadian feature, has got his designer eyes set firmly on indulgence and unpretentious superficiality. Sexual rather than explicit, it is never rude and no one farts, pukes or is seen going to the toilet. These people are to be seen rather than to 'be'; their fairly shallow lives are ones filled with fairly petty annoyances, rather than life and death scenarios. Sadly, the viewer doesn't really get to like them enough to care too much, though maybe surprisingly, they weren't as precocious or annoying as they could have been. I adopted an approach of just letting the rich visuals and sensual music flow gently over me, rather like chocolate sauce slowly rolling in folds down a steamed pudding. Nothing knew is said either and perhaps this helps; anything jarring or monumentally profound would be just too much and spoil the pleasure. Not that it's quaint or twee, mind you but this is definitely bespoke designer fitted kitchen drama rather anything to do with an actual sink.
