Brandon G How could a movie that's nearly 13 hours long ever be considered good? Nevertheless a 100% Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/26/20 Full Review Audience Member Out 1 is comprised of the experimental drama exercises of two separate acting ensembles, repressed distrust, complex conspiracies, the essence of 1970s Paris, unexpected violence, and extraordinary, mysteriously poignant distortion of narrative and runtime. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Two mornings, and a little obsession! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member A very strange film that couldn't be possibly replicated by anyone else Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Out 1 has attained an aura of mystery not dissimilar to that which surrounds the Thirteen group in the film. This is largely due to the film's scarcity and duration. The new dvd release will hopefully bring it to a wider audience although the length might still scare the squeamish off. The film is largely improvised by the actors themselves and as much of the film centres around the rehearsals of two competing theatre companies the themes of artistic/political endeavor, stasis and failure are written large but feel fluid. To think this was released in 1970 is apt not just for the instant reflection on the mood of post 1968 Paris but also the form captures that era especially well due to this improvised nature. The world of theatre, secret organisations and intrigue give Out 1 a magical quality that is extremely appealing and I would recommend it highly. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member At twelve plus hours (but neatly chunked into 8 episodes), Rivette's sideways glance (or hours-long stare) at a potential conspiracy of Thirteen French actors, lawyers, businesspeople, gadflies, etc. is at times maddeningly obscure, slow and soporific, intriguing/perplexing, mysterious, humorous, pictorially drab, pictorially beautiful, and totally of its time (1970). Only by the 4th or 5th hour does anything seem to congeal and it takes longer for some characters to become familiar. As you might guess, not everything is resolved by episode eight. I would watch more... Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
