Kay J Mar 21 A quirky, moody, dreamlike cinematography.. that was sooo good… See more SAW Mar 16 Beautifully directed and acted. It’s a great spin on noir films. I thought the movie had great charm. Andre Holland gives another great performance. See more Gregg P Mar 15 A great film homaging the Hollywood movies of old. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 4 The Actor seemed like a promising film at first, especially with Gemma Chan leading the cast, but the excitement faded almost immediately once the movie began. Despite Chan’s usual ability to elevate unconventional roles, the screenplay never supported her, constantly pulling back instead of pushing the story forward. The film never found its footing, drifting aimlessly as if unsure of what it wanted to be, and it failed to capture any emotional or narrative momentum. As a viewer, it’s hard to connect when the story feels like it’s sliding off a cliff, and that lack of engagement points directly to weak writing. The direction didn’t help either, offering little sense of focus, character development, or world-building. At times it looked like a period piece, but even that felt unclear and underdeveloped. Ultimately, The Actor collapses under its own confusion, becoming a lost, unfocused film that never justifies its potential. See more Corey J @FilmGuyCorey Sep 4 Beautifully shot and stylized, tremendously acted, and with a very interesting plot, The Actor had potential but failed to captivate. It played like an extended episode of the Twilight Zone but a pretty empty one. The drama and tension of the situation never built. Rather it was displayed with mumbled and confused looks. We never actually know anything about the main character. While that was intentional to bring the audience into his shoes as he is suffering with memory loss, it also prevented me from caring about what happened to him, especially when the only nuggets we do get don't make him very sympathetic. See more Kyle M Aug 20 Casual discovery won’t be able to guarantee toleration over its fogged plotting. The sole intrigue gradually forms pessimistic curiosity in the amnesiac void’s suggestive ambiguity through personified motifs, which were performed with mutual wonder and uncertainty that wanes the other, to effortlessly persuade repeated viewings with lesser interest to re-experience its mixed existential nature.
