What a brilliant movie, this is CINEMA! Peak storytelling, when you think the movie is having a downgrade, wait patiently, because it is only building for a greater purpose, it's shocking, it's poetic, it is stunning and beautiful! Breathtaking and absolutely amazing! I totally recommend this movie, what a masterpiece.

I wish I could point out errors in this film, but I simply can't. The more I try to put into evidence what the movie could've done better, the more it makes me reflect on how great it was. And when I say great, I really mean it! This movie is absolutely fantastic! It's a spectacle of action full of heart and identity, nothing here seems like something you've seen before, it's full of passion and creativity. Dev Patel what have you done? Absolutely everything here is fantastic! I could go through everything that made me love this movie, but there's so much to say. Thank you Dev, thank you for believing in yourself and making your dream come true. 5/5 ❤️

La haine is one of those movies that I really needed to pay attention to every detail in order to fully understand and live the experience. But... It was hard for me to classify or rate this movie. The best things here are the dialogue and the photography, which are amazing. But many times while the movie was playing I felt that many dialogue scenes or even a whole scene doesn't actually bring much to the theme of the movie, so it felt, not specifically unnecessary, but just confusing. I'm not going to be naive and tell you that if you didn't like it it's because you didn't understand, I can clearly see why the majority of people who aren't used to this type of movie wouldn't like it. The movie tries to talk about various themes such like police brutality, racism, and yes! We get to see how that works here, but I felt that many of these themes were simply introduced but not quite well explored. It slightly talks about it between the dialogue scenes and the moments of frustration of the characters. La haine is a good film, maybe due to its date of release it brings more impact to the film and culture, but even though it's good, it doesn't feel like a movie I'd watch over and over again. It's a solid film with very good performances, but I didn't love it. The final is very tragic and brings more impact to the story, but I feel like these scenes of chocking tragedy could happen throughout the film and not only in the finale. It'd bring way more drama and impact to the themes that the movie talks about, but overall, is very good. Yes, It is worth watching.

I've been watching a lot of Korean movies recently, more specifically south Korean movies, and this one is by far one of the most boring and illogical movies I've ever seen. I feel like I lost 2H. The plot is very simple, yet the screenplay makes it so hard to understand the story, and no. It's not because of the language. The pacing is actually good, it doesn't feel like 1h and 55min, still it doesn't bring any motivation or whatsoever for us to continue watching, I didn't feel motivated even for a second after the first half of the movie. If you wanna watch this movie the only thing I have to say is that you're going to be the kid in class who supposedly watched a cult Korean classic, but in fact, it's just a bad movie.

After reading the reviews, I thought the movie would be as beautiful and charming as they said it was. Not that the movie isn't charming or beautiful, it has a nice photography and the environment generally speaking is beautiful, calm, and it resonates the beautiful city that Paris is. But I didn't find it interesting at all, what is the plot? And yes I did understand the critique that Woody Allen was doing to this generation, that is constantly hoping that they can live in a " golden age ". A time in the past better than their own time. 6/10.
