I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Highly Overrated But Still Good

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Okay, so there is a movie within a movie and that is all about it. Though the movie has received some international awards and has a different concept but frankly there is one thing missing in it...that is the movie. Ideally it is a movie within a movie, so there is should have been 2 movies but you don't find one either. So it is as confusing as this and I feel I lost 72 minutes of my life for this. I have seen a lot of short films, offbeat films, non commercial cinema and loved it but this is has nothing to offer. The budget is low but for this kind I don't think you need any. It looks interesting till mid way but the climax is very confusing and makes you feel weird. I wonder how can some people find these kind of things interesting.

I saw this one at TIFF (Transylvania International Film Festival), in Cluj Napoca. Every year there is a film that stands out before the others and this time it was, to my surprise, an Indian film.It's the story of Kartik Krishnan, a software engineer who also manages a movie blog, where he sees a picture of an Indian director with Tarantino. He contacts him and he explains, when they have the meeting, that he's a big fan of Quentin and tells him all the movies he's seen (including Memento which is Nolan's - which was maybe an intentional mistake by the director but I don't care because I don't like either one of them). Anyway, they decide to make a film together, with a script inspired by Kartik's female colleague, which he secretly loves. Nothing special about that, and it's probably for that reason that the director decides to turn the movie around. I won't say more, as I don't want to be a spoiler, but the twist is pretty original and it's definitely worth it. There's also another character which represents the system working against the ones who dare to go beyond the mainstream clichés; and a strange robot which had a peculiar impact on me.I saw it twice as I do volunteer work for the festival and the second time I had to manage the Romanian subtitles but I could also focus on some details that I missed during the first viewing. Both times the Q&A sessions were very interesting, as the director Srinivas Sunderrajan decided to explain the movie, which was a bold move. I thought I'd be the only one who would like it as I can relate to it personally and it's inspiring for me for a similar project I have in mind; but to my surprised, the rest of the audience, though in small numbers, were very interested in it. The second time he said that he relies on us to spread the word so I'm doing my part by writing the first user review. What's amazing about the film is that it was made using a budget below 1000 $, which shows that everyone can do it without selling out, at least at first when they have no choice. It's in the competition and I hope it wins, because it deserves a prize for a great achievement! Thanks for reading..
