Teddy B Less Dali and more Warhol, 'Begotten', although likeably ambitious, doesn't rise above being a thin test of its audience's patience. I don't believe that was the intent of the director. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/01/25 Full Review Courtney K for a movie that's 100% visual, it doesn't really show you anything. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/30/24 Full Review R W Easily one of the most creative and unique films ever made. It's as comforting as it is disturbing much like the contrast of the visuals. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/26/23 Full Review Musuko S Perhaps THE scariest movie ever made? Hard to watch these characters in their strange, hellish other world but I love it Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Can filmmakers and audiences stop perpetuating the very often false notion that just because something is different, shocking, or controversial that it's automatically good? Was this movie different? Yes. Was this movie shocking/disturbing? At times. Was this movie interesting? Almost never. Was this movie pretentious? Insufferably so And for all the smug people who say the only reason someone didn't enjoy this movie is because they're too low-brow or unintelligent to appreciate it, get over yourselves. I could film my washing machine cleaning a load of laundry with a fisheye lens and strobe lights flashing for two hours and make the same argument that anyone who doesn't view it as transcendental artistic genius is just too shallow or dumb to understand it, when the reality is that, like this movie, it'd just be an occasionally interesting but mostly boring, albeit "unique" and "different", waste of time. 1.5 stars because there were as least a scene or two that made me go "That was kind of neat" Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Obvious symbolism, some great disturbing imagery here and there, but more often than not, dull and repetitive, rather than unsettling. Also the grainy look didn't work, it mostly got in the way, as some images would have worked far better without that filter. Still, if you're into avantgarde stuff, it's okay to see it, just to know smth like this was made, but otherwise there's really no so much to see here Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
