Kenna E much like many other high school films, this movie isn't the most realistic, but despite that it is an entertaining movie with lovable characters and an engaging storyline. there were some moments where I got secondhand embarrassment so I will give a fair warning. the main character was likable and Joey Bragg did an amazing performance and brought the character to life. this is the first American high movie I've seen and I was pleasantly surprised with how good it was. if you have any interest in seeing it, give it a watch, you may find yourself enjoying it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/01/24 Full Review Jiancel P DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM THIS MOVIES GREAT. (: the realm of contemporary cinema, few films dare to challenge the fundamental constructs of existence and consciousness. However, emerging as a paradigm-shifting opus, ‘Sid Is Dead' transcends the conventional boundaries of storytelling, inviting audiences into an intricate tapestry of philosophical introspection and narrative brilliance. Directed by a visionary auteur whose name alone is synonymous with cinematic innovation, the film represents a daring departure from the conventional tropes of the industry. At its core, 'Sid Is Dead' weaves a labyrinthine narrative that oscillates seamlessly between the tangible and the metaphysical, challenging viewers to ponder upon the very essence of being. The audacious cinematography, reminiscent of an art installation, serves as a visual symphony that harmonizes seamlessly with the film's thematic depth. Each frame is a canvas, meticulously crafted to evoke emotions and provoke intellectual discourse. The chiaroscuro technique employed here is not merely an aesthetic choice but a narrative device that underscores the duality of existence. The protagonist, Sid, serves as the enigmatic linchpin of the film—a character whose palpable internal conflict mirrors the collective struggle of humanity in grappling with the uncertainties of life. The portrayal of Sid, brought to life by an actor of staggering talent, delves into the psyche with an unwavering commitment to authenticity, rendering a performance that resonates on both visceral and intellectual planes. The non-linear narrative structure of ‘Sid Is Dead' is a stroke of storytelling genius. The juxtaposition of temporal sequences challenges the audience's perception of time itself, blurring the boundaries between past, present, and future. This deliberate narrative dissonance, while potentially disorienting, serves as a poignant metaphor for the disjointed nature of human consciousness. The symbiotic relationship between sound and silence within the film is a testament to the director's mastery of auditory storytelling. The hauntingly evocative soundtrack, interspersed with pregnant silences, becomes a character in its own right—an ethereal force guiding the emotional cadence of the film. What elevates ‘Sid Is Dead' beyond mere cinematic excellence is its unyielding commitment to existential inquiry. It transcends the confines of a traditional narrative, transcending into a realm where the boundaries between reality and the abstract converge. It beckons the viewer not merely to watch but to introspect—to question the very fabric of their existence and confront the universal quandaries that define the human experience. In conclusion, ‘Sid Is Dead' is a tour de force, an existential magnum opus that challenges, provokes, and ultimately enriches the souls of its audience. It stands as a testament to the boundless possibilities of cinema as a medium for philosophical exploration and artistic expression, solidifying its place as an indelible hallmark in the annals of cinematic history. THIS MOVIE IS THE SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. PERIODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/19/23 Full Review Lesley M Hilarious and heartfelt, and taps into all of the joy and awkwardness that comes along with being in high school.
