Audience reaction to “Monster”

14 people responded. The breakdown and comments were:

  • ‘Excellent’: 5 votes
    • Excellent storytelling, having the narrative repeated, each time from a different perspective, to gradually reveal the truth. Kore-eda rarely disappoints!
    • Very touching (as always).  I thought it was going to be like “The Hunt” – but it was still cleverer
      One of the finest filmmakers.
    • So unexpected. Loved it.
  • ‘Very Good’: 5 votes
    • An absorbing study of perception, subjectivity and human foibles.  A comedy to those who think….?
    • Confusing at times.  Stunning performances – the contradictions of compassion, violence, parental detachment & childhood imagination.  Bravery of outsides & their mechanisms of survival??
    • Absorbing
  • ‘Good’: 3 votes
    • Confusing film, but I got the idea in the end.
    • Beautifully filmed in places, but I felt it would make a better book.
  • ‘Satisfactory’: 1 vote
    • Too many flashbacks, either I lost the plot, or the film did!
  • ‘Poor’: 0 votes

Audience reaction to “The Dead Don’t Hurt”

9 people responded. The breakdown and comments were:

  • ‘Excellent’: 5 votes
    • Very measured, thoughtful drama – unusual for the Western genre. Excellent
    • cinematography.
    • Beautifully filmed, great score. The slow pace made for an enthralling film.
    • Masterclass in acting – great choice of film!
    • Another excellent presentation: makes me doubt I’ve seen a ‘western’ before – the complexity
      of the characters, the pace, the images and sound. Yet “why do men fight”. Somewhere in
      there there’s the prototype Mage and Donald!
    • Beautifully paced, beautifully shot, beautifully played!
  • ‘Very Good’: 2 votes
    • Certainly, a slow-burner which got there in the end. Fortunately, the bad came to a bad end… possibly a film for the present American predicament.
    • Didn’t immediately follow the timeline!
  • ‘Good’: 2 votes
    • Story line a bit thin.
  • ‘Satisfactory’: 0 votes
  • ‘Poor’: 0 votes
