Lady in the Water (2006)
Great movie with a bad rating - Critics surely took it personally
I recently discovered Night Shyamalan and have fallen in love with his style. This is his 7th movie that I watched and I had low expectations considering the bad rating.
After watching the movie my love for Shyamalan's magic has only increased. I still don't understand why this movie has poor rating. This was released in 2006 and maybe the audience at the time had a different kind of expectation or maybe as in the case of the movie The Village, even this movie was marketed wrongly.
I read some extremely critical reviews and they seemed more like a personal attack than an well thought out critic. This man certainly has the audience divided for some reason.
Watch it with an open mind and try to get involved in the story rather than trying to find logic and watch through the lens of a miserable critic (they're not always right - you'll seen that in the movie)
Summerland (2020)
One of the masterpieces. Beautiful storytelling and great cinematography.
One of the best dramas I've come across in recent times. I really don't understand the lower ratings on the IMDB.
The story telling is beautiful and the lead characters are likable. The performance by all the actors make the whole experience even more refreshing.
I absolutely loved how the narration never tried to oversell Lesbian relationship. It truly felt like the story of two people who were in love. Like all gay movies are supposed to be. I'm a straight guy and at no point was I uncomfortable which I usually get while watching movies which oversells the gay sexuality.
The cinematography was absolutely beautiful and they did a great job of capturing the mesmerizing landscape and carefully knitted set.
Kudos to the directors for doing such a great job and telling a rather simple story in such a beautiful way.
Kill Mode (2020)
My eyes are hurting from the camera movements
I understand that its a low budget movie and it was made by few movie enthusiasts. Really appropriate the efforts. But guys if only you'd made the camera movement more bearable, it would have a lot better experience. Good luck on your next project.
