E-hana99October 8, 2024
E-hana99October 8, 2024The title seems grandiose, but the film doesn't deliver that emotional impact. It’s unclear if the focus is on love, racism, or simply two broken people finding comfort in each other. The film reminds me of Fassbinder, but it falls short, lacking the raw emotional depth that would have given it real weight.

EdgarSTOctober 8, 2024The story is too scattered, trying to tackle too many themes without giving any one of them the focus it deserves. While the content has potential and the visuals are beautiful, the editing is poor, with many shots feeling like they’re only there to move the plot forward. The characters are well-written, and the performances are strong, but some of the roles come across as overly preachy.

Franklin_FarrellOctober 10, 2024O título parece grandioso, mas o filme não entrega esse impacto emocional. Não fica claro se o foco está no amor, no racismo ou simplesmente em duas pessoas destruídas que encontram conforto uma na outra. O filme me lembra Fassbinder, mas fica aquém, sem a profundidade emocional crua que lhe daria um peso real.

Edwin_McintoshOctober 10, 2024A história é muito dispersa, tentando abordar muitos temas sem dar a nenhum deles a atenção que merece. Embora o conteúdo tenha potencial e os efeitos visuais sejam bonitos, a edição é ruim, com muitas tomadas parecendo estar lá apenas para dar andamento à trama. Os personagens são bem escritos e as atuações são boas, mas alguns dos papéis parecem excessivamente moralistas.

La película me recuerda a Fassbinder, pero se queda corta, no tiene la profundidad emocional cruda que le hubiera dado peso real.

Christie_BurnettOctober 10, 2024La historia es muy dispersa, intenta abordar muchos temas sin darle la importancia que merecen a ninguno. Aunque el contenido tiene potencial y las imágenes son hermosas, la edición es mala, con muchas tomas que se sienten como que solo están ahí para avanzar la trama. Los personajes están bien escritos y las interpretaciones son fuertes, pero algunos de los personajes parecen muy sermoneadores.
