But the implication that she’s doing something wrong kinda bristles, I guess. I feel like you’re doing the same thing to her that you’re accusing her of doing with these films, e.g., not evaluating the context in which it appears.

Not every piece of film writing has to be a deep dive! This piece exists mostly, it seems, to give fans of the band some idea of what the event was like. It’s not a submission to Film Comment.

Very hot and raunchy, the lead actress was stunning. She basically has a series of sexual encounters. She is pumped numerous times, but she takes it very well. It is very sexual.

Boring---We went because we had free entry after visiting the Louvre. They claimed it was a15 minute walk away - it wasn't, it took a lot longer but as we enjoy walking we didn't mind. However, the visit was a waste of time and we would have demanded our money back if we'd paid.

This, Silence and Cry, has got to be one of the stupidest movies I have ever seen. I watched the whole thing asking myself, "So, what's the point? What's the point? Where is this movie going?" And at the end of the movie, I was still asking myself, "What was the point?"

Only after I read the editorial review on Amazon.com, which provided the necessary background to understand the movie, did it make sense. Unfortunately, the movie provided none of that background. A good movie would have.
