Chris Vognar Rolling Stone 02/09/2024
Hobkinson deserves credit for creating suspense throughout, with assistance from Nick Foster’s score, which happily flirts with Bernard Herrmann, and cinematography and editing that add to the feeling of disorientation and instability. Go to Full Review

Ntombifuthi X Sep 23 There is no plot, I don't understand why the struggled to find a killer. See more Aløngjr555 J 12/02/2024 **The Anatomy of a Good Movie** Movies, as a form of art and entertainment, have the remarkable ability to captivate audiences, evoke emotions, and leave a lasting impression. While personal tastes may vary, there are certain qualities that contribute to the greatness of a film. A good movie is more than just a sequence of moving images; it is a carefully crafted work of storytelling, cinematography, and performance that resonates with its audience on multiple levels. First and foremost, a good movie has a compelling narrative. Whether it's a gripping thriller, an epic adventure, or a heartfelt drama, the story serves as the foundation upon which everything else is built. A well-written screenplay keeps viewers engaged from beginning to end, with well-developed characters, intriguing plot twists, and meaningful themes that provoke thought and discussion. In addition to a strong story, the visual elements of a movie are equally important. Cinematography plays a crucial role in creating the mood and atmosphere of a film, using lighting, framing, and camera movement to enhance the storytelling. From sweeping landscapes to intimate close-ups, every shot is carefully composed to evoke emotion and convey meaning. Moreover, a good movie is brought to life by talented actors who embody their characters with authenticity and depth. A convincing performance can elevate even the most ordinary of scenes, drawing viewers into the world of the film and making them care about the fate of its protagonists. Whether it's a seasoned veteran or a newcomer making their debut, the actors' dedication to their craft shines through, leaving a lasting impression on audiences. Furthermore, the audio aspects of a film, including the score and sound design, contribute significantly to its impact. A memorable soundtrack sets the tone for key moments, heightening tension, stirring emotions, or providing moments of levity. Meanwhile, meticulous sound design immerses viewers in the world of the film, whether it's the roar of an explosion, the whisper of wind through trees, or the subtle rustle of clothing. Lastly, a good movie leaves a lasting impression, lingering in the minds of its audience long after the credits have rolled. Whether it's a thought-provoking message, a breathtaking visual spectacle, or a poignant emotional moment, the best films stay with us, shaping our perceptions and enriching our lives in ways both big and small. In conclusion, a good movie is a multi-faceted work of art that excels in storytelling, cinematography, performance, and audio design. It engages audiences on an emotional and intellectual level, leaving a lasting impact that transcends the boundaries of time and space. From the classics of Hollywood's golden age to the latest blockbusters of today, the power of cinema to entertain, inspire, and move us remains as potent as ever.

I'd give up dating. See more Amir S 11/15/2024 Good movie, the twist at the end is surprising. See more Leaburn O 10/03/2024 Ok so you can guess the twist immediately but it still makes for captivating watching. Everyone in Omaha seems a little useless/weird so it’s quite frustrating to watch but eh get through it. Saw it on Netflix. See more Ethan O 09/11/2024 You know what’s going on so early I feel like it’s a waste of time getting to the point. Can’t believe how slow this doc is. They should have never mentioned Lori in the beginning. See more Read all reviews
