LAURENCE E A very amazing film full of surprises, humor, and beauty Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/17/25 Full Review Richard B A Portuguese language movie where the main characters are somehow from London. A man who works for the gov't is going on exotic travels through Asia for boring administrative reasons. Unfortunately the movie is just as boring. A female character who wants to chase down the man to force him to marry her adds some character and comedy, so it then begins to resemble a movie, but the story is threadbare and vacuous. It's mostly narrated in different languages using modern clips interspersed with period sets, without explanation, or maybe it's because it was cheaper. The reason for the 2 stars is the redeeming value in the cinematography. This level of excellent photography in a movie with a better script would be the kind of "Grand Tour" I hoped this movie would be. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/16/25 Full Review MB C Grand Tour is a visually stunning yet emotionally detached cinematic experiment. Set in the early 20th century, it follows Edward, a British man fleeing his engagement, while his fiancée Molly pursues him across Asia. Their fragmented journey interweaves with contemporary documentary footage, creating a disjointed yet ambitious tapestry of time and memory. The film is a love letter to classical cinema, blending fictional storytelling with real-world glimpses. However, its beauty often feels hollow, as narrative cohesion and emotional depth are sacrificed for aesthetic indulgence. Performances are uneven—Gonçalo Waddington's Edward feels distant, while Krista Alfaiate's Molly injects much-needed warmth when she finally takes center stage. Director Miguel Gomes crafts breathtaking imagery, mixing black-and-white sequences with vivid present-day scenes, but struggles to forge a clear emotional or thematic anchor. The film feels more like an elaborate visual exercise than a heartfelt story. Despite moments of brilliance, Grand Tour ultimately leaves viewers adrift, pondering whether they witnessed a cinematic masterpiece—or a beautiful, aimless mirage. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/03/25 Full Review Leprechaun K To call this movie boring is an understatement. Watching paint dry would have been more entertaining. Movie is basically various documentary footage pieced together with inserts of a backdrop storyline that is just not interesting. It is over 2 hours long and it should have been a 45 mins documentary at best. Characters are uninteresting and plot is paper thin. Performance is Play like and dialogue is one dimensional. This movie somehow won Best Direct at Cannes 2024. I'm not sure how the Jury selected this as the winner. 2024 is by far the worst movie year in cinematic history. Do not waste your time with this movie. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/26/25 Full Review Read all reviews
