Sorry, this movie sucks

Overrated

Instant Favorite.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

By the reviews that I've read on this page and others calling it just porn, I assume the movie had literally just sex. I was surprised to see that the even though the sex scenes are long, it's definitely not the whole movie, neither it feels like porn. The problem relays in the fact that I've seen porn with more content than this. More artistic, better edited. That should give you an idea of what type of film this is. The protagonist is insufferable. I hated him 5 minutes into the film. And we don't get to know the rest of the characters either, in consequence, you don't really care what happens to them. The performances are mediocre. At times it truly feels like an amateur project. The shots get repetitive and boring and the dialogues fall flat. This a good idea, let's show a relationship from a sexual point of view without censoring. I appreciated that but where's the real intimacy, the real feeling. I have no idea. Nymphomaniac did it. I haven't met anyone who has seen that movie and hasn't feel overwhelmed. There's emotion, pain, struggle. The main topic, of course, is different, but I think you get the point. Love is more than what you see here. Actually, love shouldn't be what you see here.

Yeah, the sex is uncomfortable to watch, but the fact that it is shown like it is in this movie is not what you end up walking away with if you became emotionally involved in the plot and the characters - the meaning.It illustrates pretty well how destructive uncontrollable sexual urges can be - something that someone magnifying the mere fact of the porno-ness might miss. It's not glamorizing sex. It may look glamorous to you on film, but then you watch the characters suffer horribly for their decisions, destroy their relationships, and their lives.If anything, this movie really illuminates the lesson of "you don't know what you got till its gone"- you might not realize how much you actually love someone until you've hurt them so much that they never want to see you again, or even drive them to their own destruction, and yours.Good lessons. It's not all about the sex. If you can get past watching people having sex which I'm sure most of the people watching do anyways on the regular, and watch it like there's a message in there somewhere, you might get something out of itOf course the premise at face value sounds like such a sad money grab - but if you've already watched another Noe movie like Enter the Void and are expecting to be moved, there is a similar payoff or take-away

How anyone does not regard this as one of the best and most dramatic dramas of 2015 i don't know. (Story) The movie is about the main character dealing with things he did in the past that he can't forget that creates difficulties in the present. As i know, most people are very quick to realize what movies are about and i don't want to spoil this movie so i will jump right into my conclusion.(Conclusion) This movie is one of the best films ever made. I mean that, yes, I've seen citizen Kane, Lawrence of Arabia and shawshank redemption, but this film is still TO ME one of the best films ever made. I have never been so touched and moved of a movies story ever. It has brilliant acting by the main and side characters, even Gaspar Noe himself gives an excellent performance in what he does.The movie maid me cry, this movie maid me come to accept my past in a weird way. Not excuse what i may or may not have done towards the people i love or hate but accept it. This his is how things are and there is no changing that. We wish to go back in time to change it when what we really should focus on is to accept it and learn to live with it. And this movie portrayed that masterfully.Gaspar Noe once again surprises, do not get scared away by the stupid people who only sees penises and nude people. They are just plain and simple short sighted people. This is art on a deeper form. An experience, and if not for the god damn critics who ruined the movie by its "its just a porn movie" critic it would have attracted more people. But i see that more people now seem to praise this movie for more than its sex scenes. For its storytelling, visuals, directing, acting.The actors deserve prays, and in my opinion Gaspar Noe (like Lars Von Trier) is once again snubbed for a Oscar win or at least a nomination, just because of people who can't see past penises. I hope everyone watches this movie, and supports REAL art and not just Transformers 10: Resurrection (which has not happen yet but believe me, it will...)Scary days a head in cinema. But nice to see real artists/directors work, even though they are battling a stupid amount of cinema fluff trying to get noticed by their target audience. Real Artist(Screaming)"PLEAS NOTICE REAL ART.... COME ON!!"Studio ex prod(Mockingly)Shh. Shut up.... Turns to director of new movie.Studio ex prod(Respectfully)Yeas Mr. Bay more explosions is exactly what we need...

This one definitely is not for kids :DGaspar Noe is a legend. He succeeded to make porn movie and show it on Cannes festival. Good story, has its depth and touches the essence, great camera, directing, actors and sickly good soundtrack. But at the end, it's still just a porn. Love porn. I love it...................................................................
