Time Out

Heartbreaking, particularly in how relentlessly it sticks to its raison d'etre in its final act: exploring both the potential alienating effect of the modern business environment, but also more importantly (and more poignantly) the inability of many modern men to render themselves vulnerable and seek help when they need it.

A Agenda estreava há 20 anos no Festival de Veneza. Eu conheci a história do homem no qual foi baseado, então não sei o que pensar desse grande desenvolvimento de tensão constante para o filme terminar em esperança, claro, todo mundo gosta de esperança, mas talvez eu seja pessimista demais para lidar com esse final. DVDRip no MakingOff.

It's a bit tough to watch a man digging himself into a hole out of a misplaced sense of pride, but the film makes it very understandable. While it's a little too drawn out it's a very contemplative film that is even more relevant now than it was 9 years ago.

"I'm not afraid."

The film feels very earnest, collected, focused, it's nice and delicate in its formal sobriety, treats its "cynical" antihero with dignity, and address something fundamentally interesting - but it's a bit "stiff", explicit and overbearingly solem at times... But still, good shit.
