Reviewed by howard.schumann 7 /10 A film about coming and goingĭedicated to Ozu star Setsuko Hara, Argentine director Matias Piñeiro's Hermia and Helena follows his three previous films, "Viola," "The Princess of France", and "Rosalinda," with a work depicting characters loosely based on female heroines in William Shakespeare's comedies. A loud ragtime-piano score kept me awake through most of this failed undergraduate film-school project. There's Style by the long ton, though: a disorienting opening with people flitting in and out of the frame at close range bits of Shakespeare's text, complete with translator's notes, pasted on screen big close-ups (the one of the man eating a glazed doughnut is given meaning by overheard cellphone conversations) and like that. Their meeting is bland and fruitless neither notices.

Camila and pals are uncommitted to anything much and they never develop, not even when Camila meets for the first time her father, who abandoned her mother during pregnancy. We can't really follow their non-adventures because of the non-existent plot and the long baffling flashbacks. Hermia & Helena are two pining lovers in Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream,' and that's about the last you'll hear of them in this film about a gaggle of arty 20-somethings rattling between fellowships in New York and home in Buenos Aires. Reviewed by marsanobill 3 /10 Oh, Please! So, you can be censored for not agreeing with the critic? What is the point of the comment section then? I'm just trying to make sure people don't waste their money. Just because you have a tiny budget, doesn't mean you have to make a tiny film.īTW, I posted this review in the comments section of other on-line publications and it got deleted. Perhaps by acknowledging that there are some real duds in the subset, they might be admitting to the cold fact that the much of contemporary cinema maybe on the decline. I fail to understand why some of these poorer "alternative" films are getting a pass by critics and some audience members. I enjoy a wide variety of film genres and styles from the past to the present, including small budgeted pictures that feature realistic or understated performances, but come on! The acting and the dialog weren't "realistic" "subtle" or "understated" they were just bad for the reasons stated in the first paragraph.

See!!! People waiting to get buzzed into walk up apartments! See!!! The protagonist banally flit between neutered boyfriends! See!!! Someone pay for Spanish lessons in cash! As someone who is tired of bloated, Hollywood action sequels and intelligence insulting comedies, I do my best to support indie and foreign film. This film makes the most muted mumblecore flick feel like Who's Afraid Of Virgina Wolf. When the "story" took a few turns for the potentially dramatic, I felt like I was watching The Asperger's Players Presents. The dialog is bare and boring, delivered in a near monotone by a cast that is interchangeable by way of their characters' equal absence of personality. At first I was going to praise the director for his ambitious decision to cast androids in every single role, but then I came to and realized that I had just watched the flattest, most emotionally antiseptic, charisma-free inconsequentiality ever committed to screen.
