Her

Emotional, heartfelt and real. It was full of simple moments that allowed for the characters to grow emotionally. The tremendous cinematography combined with the constant flow of realistic dialogue, created a true romance. Directed and written by Spike Jonze this film has cute moments, it was happy ...

Re: American Hustle

Ummm, that's a bit too hyperbolic, don't you think? I'm sure most people are capable of understanding (or want to understand) more than one message or emotion at a single time...If a film fails to relay these emotions or messages, that exist in the script, in an effective way so that its audience c...

Re: American Hustle

Fun, humorous, style, great acting, yeah; but except for the good last minute move at the end, the characters were all just reacting. There's no real message in that; and even if they were smart enough to be in control, so what, what does that tell you? If you're not smart, become smart? Art's mess...

Re: American Hustle

Style a lone is not why this film is good. Spring Breakers had one of the finest performances of the year from James Franco, but that's a different story all together. This film had all three necessary components to be the best picture of the year. Those three are style, acting and story. Cinema is...

Re: American Hustle

There are several very common descriptions/adjectives in this review that I have never understood. For instance, "immaculate style" . So the style is especially pure and free from blemishes? What exactly does that mean? Were you trying to say that it's very well-executed, that it looks vi...

Re: American Hustle

Spot on...unfortunately, there's nothing there to find beyond the exit door. All attempts at that compelling connection were lost in the film's misuse of style, which threw every compelling factor it had on the table while you were watching, and left nothing for you to take home. . I saw this on th...
