Disappointing…

This movie started strong and had tons of potential yet it seemed like they insisted on making many nonsensical scenes instead of building up a progressively intense and logical story. Ex: One minute the girl says to the other: “What are you doing outside? We can’t leave now.” Then she goes inside, rummage through the house a bit only to come back outside a few minutes after to the same girl and tell her: “We have to leave now!!” Yet nothing seemed to have happened to explain that reaction. There’s another part where they are tied up to a chair and the scene after we see the two girls running around the house looking for something. Also, when they are on the side of the road fighting (for nothing) after their escape with the loot one gets hit by a car out of nowhere then she reappears in the house, tied to a chair and unarmed. At this point, we are well aware that nothing that happens is of any importance and I stopped caring. It would’ve been nice to have this cool, trippy and weird movie make more sense. When it tried to be violent (like, those 2 or 3 times) it was successful and effective. When it tried to be clever (or confusing) it was really not. The cinematography looked awesome, the first 25 minutes was like a 7.5. and the l rest was a 5 as I barely understood anything at all. Here is a review that express my sentiment in way better words: https://rue-morgue.com/movie-review-braid-is-less-a-movie-and-more-a-vanity-project/ my rating: 5/10
