Film about hate groups with extremely strange plot and take on it. Good acting, trivial camera, and very problematic underdeveloped script. In the entire film there is almost zero time dedicated to exposing the hate and the evil that is at the basis of those groups. If u watch this film as a random white guy you might see them as kind of vigilantes creating community and sharing money with it. I am serious, this is ridiculous writing. If you are susceptible even a little to racisms this film can be used as an advertisement of neo-nazy groups. So little effort this movie puts into exposing who are the bad guys and why, makes me think it was intentional.
Pretentious nothing. Very sloppy directing and screenplay. Film is so bad, it made me question was Yorgos ever good? Looks like he wasn't. Hope he will not be able to make new movies anymore. Both Poor Things and Kinds of Kindness are pretty bad. Talentless venting of some of his own psychological issues. Even on the level of just film craft - so many bad takes! Takes where lines are completely butchered and made it to the film. Come on! Students do better job. Half of modern TV shows are much better on the development side. Oh boy. I really don't understand how Favorite was so good if he is this bad ... is it all an evident? Is it God ? Some mysterious coincidence?
I was absolutely open to art-house film, which it obviously is. And for 2+ hours waited and waited it showing anything impressive. Well it didn't. IDK what it tried to say. Was this another women empowerment project or failed exploration of the form? But it failed in everything. It's suppose to be silly take on human experience but in the end feels like a robot trying to imitate Wes Anderson while failing miserably. Yorgos should stick to drama that is accidentally funny. Many of you know small armature theaters that have the audacity to hope they can pull off some experimental ground breaking play while just throwing stuff onto canvas in an unwatchable improvisation. Well it feels like that despite great cast. In the end it's a "form over function" film that fails to extract any emotion or thought out of the viewer.
