Jeremy B This movie would’ve been great as a book. It didn’t use cinematography to it’s advantage. Monotone pace, boring camera shots and robot cast don’t do the scenario justice. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/06/24 Full Review susannah g This movie is brilliant - suspenseful, moving, witty and above all a seething indictment of rotten capitalism, objectification and greed. Finally, a beautiful couple of human beings cleverly pit the system against itself to lift up the lives of those most victimized by a soulless, heartless society. Thank you. It's the best I've seen in a long time. Canada needs to strive to be less like the US and more like Northern European countries where homelessness, gun violence and poverty have been drastically reduced by socialist values (ie caring values) and policies. The moral compass of North America clearly needs a readjustment and this movie makes it all too clear. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/24 Full Review Rosana B Filme tão cheio de camadas sobrepostas que é difícil analisar, a começar pelo título... Uma reunião improvável, um nerd, um acompanhante de luxo, um ex-presidiário e o magnata banqueiro... Uma trama muito inteligente, uma aula sobre os paraísos fiscais... Belo intrigante, constante e apaixonante, tudo magistralmente arquitetado, e criativamente produzido... E tortura com os braços para trás foi uma das mais aflitivas que já assisti, apesar de não ter mostrado muito... Perfeito... Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/10/23 Full Review Audience Member If you liked Jesus of Montreal, you'll like this effort. A very similar setup—an eccentric young man trying to adhere to the anti-materialist tenets of the philosophers he studies ends up, through an accidental event, forming a circle around him that includes thieves, the homeless and even a prostitute who becomes friend, lover, confidante and adherent to the cause. Sound vaguely familiar? Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A good movie. Sure there isn't much here that is new or incredible, but it delivers an entertaining feel-good story with some clever elements. Forgive the cliché plot points. It's nice to have some familiar movie elements presented in new ways. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member A great movie, that has a unique flavor and style. For people who want to laugh a lot to a clever humor <3 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
