The title has quite an intriguing double meaning here as an unnamed and typical young girl (Louise Labèque) finds herself confined to her bedroom - think COVID lockdown - with only her online community to sustain her. Most popular amongst the influencers is a woman called “Coma” (Julia Faure) who induces something akin to her name in the young woman as she gradually becomes indoctrinated into a culture that falls half way between dream and nightmare. She is soon struggling to distinguish between reality and fantasy thanks to the “Revealer” - a sort of psychological version of a replicator, wit…

Would be a good movie if not poisoned with propaganda by liberal fascists. If you were living under the rock not knowing what's happening in the world and especially with Europe, you would still know about its problem after watching this movie, that the europe is facing the cultural erasing danger. Half the cast if not more are non-norwegians and then of course we get race mixing propaganda.…

There’s a little of the ugly ducking to this enjoyable Aardman animation, as a bird’s egg topples from it’s nest and finds it’s way to some kindly mice. When “Robin” pokes it’s little beak out of it’s shell, the mystified mice readily adopt it and for quite a while it thinks it’s just a mouse with a few feathery appendages. Thing is, “Robin” also starts to feel a bit lonely. It can never be a true mouse and so can never truly fit in, so it sets off into the unknown facing perils and fun alike and fortunately returns just as the snow has settled and the mice are facing their own furry, hungry, …

This film tries to make several points and misses them all. The trailer doesn't lead to the fact that it's a political comedy-drama and it disappoints on that, too. I interviewed seven individuals after the film and they all said the same thing: they were disappointed and had no idea what the film was about. My wife and I rip this film a new one on our YouTube channel: @Back2UsReviews. We were very disappointed with the film and now understand why James L. Brooks hasn't had a hit since '97. So sad that Hans Zimmer had anything to do with this turd of a film.…

I don’t suppose there is anything very original about this plot. Very rich, widowed, oil man “Jasper” (Ian Keith) has two spoilt grown-up children. “Kyle” (Robert Stack) is a wastrel alcoholic, “Marylee” (Dorothy Malone) is a lady of, let’s say, easy virtue. The son is best friends with the company’s geologist “Mitch” (Rock Hudson) and it’s these two men who meet the secretary “Lucy” (Lauren Bacall). Both take an instant shine to her, and after some vulgar displays from “Kyle” you might have put your cash on her choosing “Mitch”, but for some pretty inexplicable reason she succumbs to what she…

If you’ve ever been to Karnak or Luxor and wandered through the temples, you can easily imagine the sound of the ancient Egyptian deities philosophising in husky tones about mortality as they adopt their animalistic manifestations. One would be a hippo, and though he’s unlikely to have been called “Pepe”, his would be a discourse on this beast’s association with humanity, with his fellow creatures and - somewhat inexplicably, his journey to Colombia where he is now facing army sharpshooters who want to stop him terrorising the locals in the river. The theistic contrast works quite well here be…

Story's interesting, but sadly it's poisoned with propaganda. I would give it more ratings if not that...…

Losing a loved one can be a highly traumatic experience, and, consequently, letting go can be an exceedingly difficult experience, something to which many of us can probably relate. So it is for Adela (Chiara Hourcade) when her longtime friend, Elena (Victoria Jorge), passes away at an untimely young age. She puts up a good front at Elena’s wake, but, once the event is over, she loses it, crying profusely in the privacy of her car. However, in a moment of seemingly divine intervention, she spots a bus with a lighted destination sign that literally feels like a sign in itself, prompting her to …

The opening scene is Horrorific, as it was some type of Terrifying Archaic Ritual. The atmosphere that we're surrounded with is rather gloomy, unsure if it's intentional.
There is so much chaos going on and uncharacteristic behavior I'm thinking by the expressions of our characters. You're supposed to be safe with your family, but this film changes that perception of that Supposition.
I do so enjoy Folklore Horror films, as they have so much Ancient Culture to pull from. The film being set in Ireland is just so much fun, and I'm thrilled to see how far they'll go with the story.

When a married couple dies, the husband finds himself in what I'm assuming to be some sort of purgatory and he has to re-live the events over and over to learn something?? The premise is really interesting and it had me extremely intrigued for the first half but it seemed to get lost in its own ideas and never explained where he was or why or what its goals are. As a result, the attempts at grief, guilt and redemption fall flat as there are so many unanswered questions and incomplete concepts that I was left befuddled. Interesting character study, though. -- DrNostromo.com…
