The Worst Film Ever

I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

As a director Madonna's understanding of subtlety and nuance is akin to a stiff punch to the gut. She doesn't get it at all. Incomprehensible at times and pretentious in others, there isn't that much reason to watch it. I skipped some of the more arduous scenes that were hard to get through. Doing this made the movie easier to watch.The immigrant storyline which takes place in London is mildly interesting. The problem is that Madonna doesn't know how to bring her ideas and observations together in a way that makes enough sense. This lack if comprehension for the story she is trying to tell coupled with her inexperience as a director leads to on screen confusion and annoyance.

You can actually get pretty good insight by looking at an unwashed pair of underpants. You can tell a lot about a person by studying their hygiene habits. Also by noticing either an abundance or lack of stains, faults, holes, tears, overall condition, even what kind of underpants they are. So this tells me you don't know much about gaining insight from anything unless it's put in very literal terms for your struggling mind to understand. Anyone can sound like an expert on the internet, but I can tell by your forced attempts of using advanced vocabulary that you're not at all what you attempt to be. So don't waste peoples' time by trying to help them with deceiving remarks hiding your misunderstanding. Perhaps I am biased because I am a fan of Eugene Hutz, but I find it hard to believe anyone could get nothing out of this film. Sure anyone who dislikes Madonna will disregard it simply because of a childish hatred, but I do not care for her myself, and I still thoroughly enjoyed this film. Rarely do I comment films based on my opinion, and even more rarely do I rate one 10 out of 10 stars. I do this because I feel this film has been very misunderstood and unappreciated, as do I feel that the extremely biased general media has given it a bad hype it does not deserve. So I hope others may watch it with an open mind, and disregard your personal opinions of the crew and cast, and watch it as a film, and nothing more. If you do that there is really something to be appreciated here.

I really liked the film. I admit I almost didn't go to see it because of all the bad press, but Im happy I did. And for those who haven't seen it and consider not to based on all the criticism, you really should go and see it for yourself. I wonder what these critics were really expecting? Something a little more Hollywood? And what do you consider to be a "good" movie, if you don't seem to like this one very much? I found the movie to be very honest. The only part I wasn't so convinced of was the the blind guy, his facial expressions didn't match the character, I think he smiled too much. But other than that, where is the problem? Have any of you ever worked as a Dominatrix or known any sex workers? Or professional dancers who turned to working at a strip club to earn a living? You say "cliché" but often clichés/stereotypes exist for a reason, because actual human beings (re)act in certain ways in certain situations. I think Madonna should feel proud of her work here! It was inspiring in its way, regardless of what some might say.

I saw this movie yesterday at the Berlinale.Going into the theater I thought it might be a dreadful film (after all there were some terrible comments running the net...) I must say though after just a ten minutes the film had gotten to me. It is funny and has quite a pace to it. Getting to know the different characters did not seem to be "set up" as it happens to be in quite a few movies. Despite the obvious humor the movie contains a lot to think about and even more to remember.I really would advice anyone to go and watch the movie as it is one of a kind. Just go in expecting nothing and you will receive everything...
