Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The Couchpotatoes Being a big fan of Benoit Poelvoorde I had to watch this movie. And even though Poelvoorde isn't really the main character of the story, while he's God, the movie is more than enjoyable to watch. It sometimes made me think about Amélie Poulain, complete different story but with the same easy-to-listen-to narrating voice. Pili Groyne is the narrating voice and also the main character, playing Ea the daughter of God. She did a really good job playing her role of unsatisfied of her father's work, daughter of God. The cast was very well chosen, from people nobody ever heard of to Catherine Deneuve. And also François Damiens, the comedian everybody knows here in France and Belgium, as the man that can drive you completely nutters with his character of François l'Embrouille, mostly known for his short videos on Youtube etc. The shooting itself is by moments sublime, very good altogether. Jaco Van Dormael delivered another good Belgian movie. You can only give him credits for that knowing the tight budget you have when producing a Belgian movie. This time Poelvoorde is not the usual comedian we know, in fact the movie has some funny moments, but it's not really a comedy. It's more a parody on the ridiculousness of religion. And that's for me, being a convinced atheist, only a thing that I can enjoy.

ajstuns i like the first 20 minutes of movie.it's fun to watch the concept of sufferings of human beings and how those are relating to the sadistic tendency of god, also scenes which show people and their death time.but the scenes of Catherine Deneuve and gorilla is utter idiotic.and something at the last which tells on transsexual, gay, casual sex ...stuffs are unnecessary for this movie.the movie clearly supports the viewpoints of liberals and their trash ideas at the end all liberals give a standing ovation.

Akhil Balachandran God lives in an apartment in Belgium with his wife and his 10-year-old daughter Ea. God spends most of his time in ruining people's life by making weird rules. His daughter has also power and she wants to create a brand new testament. Ea sneaks inside Gods locked office and sends text messages to everyone in the world informing their scheduled dates of death. It's a film that has full of imagination and also has a dark comedy side. The concept of the movie was catchy and visually it's a wonderful film. Van Dormael does not lack the skill to pull of beautiful moments from this fantasy movie. Cinematographer, Christophe Beaucarne captures the craziness of God character superbly. Overall, I highly recommend this film to anyone who likes fantasy movies.

Reno Rangan I was looking forward for this since it was from one of my favourite directors who is a very unique storyteller. This is a fantasy and a black comedy from Belgium that was chosen to represent the country in the last Oscars. This is where the critics overtake the film fanatic to like it more. It is a theme that revolves on what would you do if you get a power to write the laws of the nature. A complicated topic, because loopholes are inevitable, but the writer and director did not care much about that and narrated the tale what they just wanted to tell.The story centres on an arrogant and abusive father who is also the creator the universe, especially the designer of the lives on the earth and this tale takes place in the Belgian capital, Brussels. When his bored and concerned daughter Ea, runs away from home to re-edit his creation as advised by her brother JC, he goes after her to ensure everything stay as he had planned. In an unexpected confrontation between father and daughter, in the end who is going to be victorious is the rest of the narration. Remember, there is a post credit scene, which opens the door for a possible sequel, but I don't think that'll happen."Giving men knowledge of their own death... Crazy!"It was a beautiful concept, but I don't think I liked the entire narration, though some of the parts were very interesting. Since it was a fantasy, logics are not required, but the lack of the basic explanation was the setback if you're a broad minded. This film is for the simple minds, especially after knowing the theme you should not anticipate a genuine tale with great adventure and stunts, particularly not visual extravaganza. It was kind of a drama-adventure, something like entering the world that created by you and experiencing all by yourself the positives and negatives of it.Somewhat it was a fun, so definitely not a bad film, but I felt it should have been a lot more than that. Kind of a missed opportunity and falls into a simplicity. All the actors were good, especially the little girl. But I think it's not suitable for the children on the ground of a film character who is associated with sex related stuff, hence it got a few brief nudes.The God character was awesome, even though his acts are predictable I enjoyed the comedies delivered by him. The Ea's undertaking was more a serious and which tries to relate with the Chritianity, especially 'The Last Supper' after her decision to help a few selected people down in the earth over billions. All the above it was barely a magical film, so that's where you've to compromise than to expect crazy stuffs out of it. So in my opinion, it was not delightful as it looks nor the best work of this talented director, but a decent 2 hour long film.6/10
