Hugo S "Give Me Pity!" presents us with a woman performing on a variety TV show with an 80's setting. The movie takes the viewer on a psychedelic trip to the enormous ego of a wannabe artist tirelessly seeking the love and attention from her audience. The insecurity of the TV host is obvious to the point of creating a live psychodrama that derails with every performance. Despite its unconventional visuals, the movie has no deep substance or character development beyond the repetitive scenes of exhaustive monologue. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/02/24 Full Review Timothy P It was boring and had nothing to say but repeated that nothing over and over in bland skits, monologuing and songs that think they are social commentary but really are saying absolutely nothing. The star is trying so hard but the material is not worthy of her charms at all. I initially thought I might like this from it's campy tone but it kept dragging on for what felt like 12 hours of nothing. With better writing and/or clever satire, this would be terrific but not as is. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/22/25 Full Review Ava This movie makes its point in the first monologue and then proceeds to beat that D.O.A. horse for the rest of what will be the longest and most fruitless 80 minutes of your life. The "twist" is comically terrible. Everything about this movie tries so hard to be artistic while having absolutely nothing original to say. I feel like this movie was made for people who want to seem deep but don't really understand metaphor and so need to be bashed over the head with it for the full length of a movie before they can come away with what amounts to a very normative take on fame and performance. The only reason I gave it one star instead of 1/2 of a star is that the dancers were very good. They don't deserve the negative review. Unfortunately every bit of the rest of this movie does. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/03/23 Full Review Mad Poet Society It's particularly interesting when a film manages to subvert the expectations you might have at the beginning so thoroughly and compellingly. Before seeing this film, I knew nothing about either the writer or the main actress which, is probably one of the better ways to see this movie because it allows the audience to immerse themselves in the "world" created by the story. This is a very self-aware movie that requires patience to unravel all the layers presented here but, it definitely pays off. See it if you're looking for something different for a change.
