Audience Member The kind of Pretentious foreign art house crap your mama warned you about... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A bizarre and rather unlikable film. Isn't Anyone Alive? starts on a college campus where we get a number of interesting conversations. One group of girls talk about urban myths and their place in society, a love triangle discuss how best to deal with a pregnancy, and a man looks for his sister. This is all underlined by the story of a train crash. The conversations are often well scripted, but unfortunately the editing is fast and furious for no real reason. The camera cuts back and forth between people talking at the rate you would expect in a martial arts battle. That's when it all gets weird. People just start dying, for no reason other than what the characters can speculate. It isn't the dying part that's silly, it's people's reactions to the dead. The acting here is sometimes good, but other times laughable. One character looks as though he is seconds away from bursting into hysterics, despite apparently being scared. It's all a bit too artsy for its own good, and ould have had a genuine feel of terror and emotion. Instead it just wants to confuse. Some nice soundtrack choices and moments of captivating cinematography aren't really enough to make this worth your time, but it is probably different to a lot of what you've seen before. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Andra filmen jag såg på Stockholm Filmfestival 2012. Och ... oj! Aldrig har jag sett slutet på mänskligheten skildras på ett så pass annorlunda sätt och med en så pass svart humor utan att skrattet har satt sig i halsen. I slutet undrar man om det är mig eller filmen det är fel på. Bravo! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
