The Worst Film Ever
Good concept, poorly executed.
Crappy film
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Folie à deux (Induced delusional disorder (F.24) ICD-10) is in the literature; wikipedia has a nice article about it. However, this is the worst vanity indie film I've seen in months.In the first half or so of the film, we follow Noah around as he tries to remember his past. He's lost much of his memory in some acute personal event. Several people assure him that this is a good thing. He looks for Emily, finds her, gets past her thorny personality and direct resistance to visiting the past.Supposedly Emily and Noah are linked by a psychiatric disorder which lets them know each other's minds. Even worse, they see visions of bad things happening to those around them. It's tough for Noah to recall. For similar reasons, it's tough for Emily as well. Even worse, they are not able to ward off the bad things happening.The first such event was when they were around eight years old; the second around when they were high school seniors. The first was a bus crash. The two of them recuperate, more or less, in the same hospital. The second was a fire, the culmination of a sequence of unfortunate events during late high school.All this is nonsense, and assigned to folie à deux, or induced delusional disorder. In this case, "She's crazy and made me do it," or "He's crazy and made me do it." The simpler explanation is "He is crazy and she is crazy." So, own up to it and get them off the streets: two crazy people are over-indulged and allowed to hurt others unnecessarily.-----Scores------Cinematography: 10/10 Fine work. Amazingly good considering the foulness of the screenplay and most of the acting.Sound: 10/10 No problems.Acting: 3/10 The veteran actor Bruce McGill delivered as usual. The rest of the cast was terrible. The two principals were the worst. The three points are for Mr. McGill.Screenplay: 0/10 This was a rat's nest of nonsense of endless re-interpretations. The script is as bad as the acting of the two principals. There is about five minutes of content stretched over 85 minutes. Rotten Tomatoes got it right at 11%.
First and foremost what sold me on this film was Bruce McGill. Above and beyond any other connection I've had with the film this man is seriously top form and always has been. Bar none, period, end of story. If you give him a chance to tell you into a story, you will love this film.Now that this film is on Netflix you should take the time to see it and rate it, both here and on your streaming service. The film has been out since March 8 2012 and there less than 200 ratings here on IMDb. Thats sad indie film lovers. Because if you travel in the same circles I do you've gone way out of your way for new good movie content constantly and failed...time and again...but not here.What I'm here to tell you is that "APART" will not disappoint. I don't want to give anything away and heck, I am obviously biased. I've worked with these guys and hope to again. So don't listen to me, just give it a chance and I think you'll like it. It's a fresh slice of what you don't see from big-budget studio pictures so much these days. If you like that about Apart...for good or bad, please rate this film and give it even just a few words of review here on IMDb so it can reach more people. The last user review said it best: he won't regularly watch anything under a five and this film simply does not fall into that category. Plus you get four solid actors in reasonably messed up situations...it was fun and I'm honored to log in and write this to help Apart succeed.
Apart – TRASH IT (C-) A movie about two lovers becoming victim of Folie à deux (Induced delusional disorder (F.24) ICD-10) is a great notion on the paper but somehow it didn't translate well on screen. Apart moves chronically and at times non-chronically, which makes it's really confusing. When you choose a topic as confusing as (F.24) ICD-10 its better to move the movie in more sensible manner. Olesya Rulin does her part well coming out from Disney movies. Josh Danziger is expressionless most of the times. And all emotions seems same on his face he was as miserable after the accident as he was before. FYI if you have wrote the movie it doesn't give you the permission to star in it as well. Overall, Apart makers were thinking they' were making something indie phenomena but unfortunately it became indie disappointment.
to begin, i am in no way affiliated with this film, i don't know anyone associated with this film and this is a completely unbiased review. as you will notice, i have never even written a review on this site before. the reason i am writing one now, is that i would like others to be able to experience an awesome indie film as i have. i always look to IMDb when choosing to watch a film and it was the positive reviews on this site that coaxed me to watch this. i am glad that i did. i will say nothing of the story except that it is definitely worth the time spent to go through it. the cinematography is excellent, the plot is excellent and the acting is good. actually considering the history of one of the leads, the acting is exceptional. the movie slightly borrows from donnie darko at points, although imo doesn't quite live up to darko. but then again donnie darko is a classic imo. anyways, don't pay attention to the rating and do yourself a favor and watch a very good movie. this comes from someone who watches at least 1 movie a day as i work from home and have to be in front of the computer for countless hours and love film.
