There's no tension as to where things are going to end up, the final images leaving me cold.

Rated: 2.5/4

Give it up for "Paradise Hills" for swinging for the fences when it comes to bat-bleep crazy.

Vague Visages

The performances (and the cinematic world) are so inventive that while the plot doesn’t take the same risks, one can’t help but wonder how Waddington might reinvigorate other science fiction narratives with her fairy tale stylings.

Ultimately, it's these themes that Paradise Hills brings to the forefront that makes it worth watching.

Waddington explores questions of social expectations, class and individual freedom, as she takes these characters on a darker, scarier journey than the pretty surroundings suggest, a tale with some surprising twists and a satisfying ending,

Fast paced and bad story telling, what happened to the characters or in the ending didn’t even matter because I didn’t care.

I think this was trying to be society critique, but very poorly executed. Predictable. It has beautiful visuals though.

The cinematographers should be angry with the writer's. The movie was beautiful to look at, but the story was bad. All in all, it was a beautiful disaster.

It’s a typical rich people’s woke movie: rich people’s spoiled kids hate their lives, hate their parents and hate their high society. They don’t understand the common people’s lives and intend to destroy everyone’s life, of course using their strange ways. Now they have achieved their goal partially.

I don't get it. Why do people think this film is good? Terrible story. Terrible execution. Useless film.

A visually gorgeously designed outing with a setting intriguing enough to carry the entire film. The last 20 minutes of the kind of predictable plot are so mind-numbingly stupid you'd think they were from another film entirely though.
