TOM G I'm amazed by the poor reviews here. I rewatched it quickly after my 1st watch. Its a rollercoaster mystery which turns into pulling my heart into a strong emotional experience. Wilson is excellent. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/19/25 Full Review Adam W Disregard the reviews. If you or someone in your family is an alcoholic and/or drug addict, this film is an absolute must watch. I've watched it 5 times and screened it for a group of clients today. SO GOOD!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/12/25 Full Review Claudio C Bliss (2021) Messy Trip (11,753 – 09 Jun 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) Greg Wittle (Owen Wilson) is a loser who dreams of a house in a beautiful location instead of working. When his boss Bjorn (Steve Zissis) calls him to his office to fire him, the delusional Greg accidentally stumbles on him and Bjorn trips, hits his head on the table and dies. Greg hides his body behind the curtain and in front of a window and leaves the office. He goes to a bar in front of the office, where a mysterious woman named Isabel Clemens (Salma Hayek) tells him that she will give an alibi to him, provided he brings an amulet that was stolen by her ex-boyfriend, who is at the restroom. Greg finds the man fainted in the toilet and brings the amulet to Isabel. She claims that she is powerful, the world is not real and swallows a yellow crystal and puts one in Greg’s drink. Out of the blue, the window of the office opens, and Bjorn falls on the street in front of several witnesses. Then she takes Greg to the place where she lives, and Greg realizes that she is homeless. They begin to use crystals and soon he finds that the world and most of the people are not real. Meanwhile, his daughter Emily Wittle (Nesta Cooper), who will graduate, is looking for her father and asks her brother Arthur Wittle (Jorge Lendeborg Jr.), to help her in the search. “Bliss” (2021) is an awful movie by Amazon with a storyline that is a messy trip. Like in “Matrix”, the protagonist Isabel claims that the world and most of the people are not real and uses drugs to prove to the other protagonist, Greg Wittle. But there is no development of the characters, and the viewer just sees that they have mental condition. Like in most of the contemporary films by Amazon, Disney and Netflix, there is the need to show interracial families; therefore, the Caucasian Owen Wilson is the father of two Afro-American teenagers, showing that love is beautiful. The story is such a mess that probably the writer was on drug when he wrote the story and the screenplay. My vote is three. Title (Brazil): “Bliss: Em Busca da Felicidade” (“Bliss: Searching Hapiness”) My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/10/25 Full Review Aaron L A remarkably average movie, with a solid cast, interesting cameo, and yet somehow little enjoyment, little catharsis. It lacks substance, and is marketed for one audience despite being made for another. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/12/25 Full Review Melissa M If this movie was kind of complex or was the kind of film that makes you think that would be one thing. But this movie is extremely confusing. And the plot is all over the place. What's real & what's not is not very clear in this movie. The only thing good about it is Owen Wilson gets to show his dramatic side. And proves he can do more than just comedy films. In the beginning Greg makes impulsive choices. There's a lot of poor decision making on his part. You kind of feel sorry for him. As things progress Greg turns into kind of an asshat. But by the end of the movie Greg surprisingly become somewhat likable again. Isabel is kind of compassionate & a little mysterious at first. After a while it's hard to like her at all. Isabel becomes kind of sadistic. Salma Hayek is an amazing actress. But as Isabel it's not one of her more likeable characters. The ones you really feel sorry for are Greg's children. This is one of those films once you've seen it once. It's definitely not worth watching again. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/19/25 Full Review Pascal V This is definately not a love story! It’s the story of an addict who completely lost it or … the story of a victim of a scientific experiment in the far future. It’s for the viewer to unravel this question that burns throughout the film. Good movie, no doubt whatsoever. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/25 Full Review Read all reviews
