Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
ravitchn The title refers to the killing of Iphigenia before the Trojan war expedition of the Greeks by her father Agamemnon. The deer was the symbol of the goddess Artemis (Diana) and in one dubious version of the Euripides play a deer is substituted for Iphigenia on the sacrificial altar. The movie however has nothing really to do with all this except that the main character, to expiate his killing of a man, is forced by his son to kill one of his own children. This movie is sick, disgusting, and revolting for the most part. The acting by Colin Farrell (with a long beard) and Nicole Kidman is adequate but the viewer is not ever sure what is happening or why. I cannot find it anything but absurd.
pcrprimer I didn't know much about this movie going into it. I had watched dogtooth many years ago and remembered that it was a very odd film, but not much beyond that. The main draw of this film was the main lead being Colin Farrell, and not the director. However after seen this movie, the fingerprints of the director are unmistakable. The cinematography of the film is impeccable worth the long and wide shots drawing the viewer into each scene. There's no doubt that this movie leaves you feeling uneasy and thinking about what you watched. The dialogue and script delivered by the actors gives an otherworldly feel to the whole movie. With lots of interactions that leave you wondering in which world that would br normal. Despite there being strong performances all around the stand or performance is undoubtedly from the actor that plays Martin. You'll be confused, entertained, and horrified by him at the same time but he truly makes the movie what it is.
lejlalaly Don't waste your time on watchings this failed wannabe art film. A complete waste of two hours of my life
robscobit No purpose. Move along. There is no way this rating adds up. All the other ratings are 1s and 2s as they should be.
