Really! 99%? This was really ok. The whole movie was just ok. Clearly some overdubbed parts and clearly some afterthoughts and odd cuts to punch it up. It was fine. Ok. But not 99% or the best movie you ever did see. Really? This was a 6/10 at best. Enjoy but lower the bar before shelling out the coin.
shareWell, i gave it a 9/10, a beautiful unique little film.
Only problem i had with it is some minor screenplay problems
Favorite films of all time list

I enjoyed it a lot but I think my issue with it was the sound editing/mixing.
shareThe majority of dialogue in most movies is over-dubbed (ADR), so I'm not sure what you mean there :P
shareNo you misunderstand. When the camera's pointed at the back of their heads, they are dubbing in lines post production. There are real obvious ones early on and then you start to look for it. Seemed desperate to punch it up.
shareWell I understand, but I think it could be a matter of difference in techniques. I always find it off putting in UK films, because they do their sound mixing differently, and the ADR is more noticeable to me.
What I'm saying is, pretty much every film has a good portion of its dialogue "dubbed in" as you described, but different parts of the world seem to use different techniques for doing it, so I suppose it's what you're used to. If your primary film viewing consists of Hollywood films (which is the case for most people), it can be jarring when you see a film from somewhere you're not accustomed to
Agree you understand the dubbing point. My primary viewing of movies is not hollywood at all. This dubbing was/is unusually bad. Its simply not good. I've seen almost every country's movies and watch foreign movies more than most from the US. So no, its a matter of quality. If NZ quality is bad, then so be it. But I liked plenty of NZ movies before this one, including a few of those from this very director. This movie's dubbing was poorly done - this movie.
share7/10 tops.
best so far this year:
The Revenant (2015)
A Gorgeous Girl Like Me (1972)
Are you talking about Rotten Tomatoes?
sharewell people misunderstand RT, 99% means 99% critics gave it 6 or more, you gave it a 6, it means you are agree 99%
it was 6 for me as well
That is true. I think the embelishment in the write-ups support that they most certainly fawned over this movie a bit. And most were not 6/10, they were higher. I'm not saying I'm right, but from a critics perspective this seemed over the top. I thought the dialogue from the boy was made up of cliche' soundbites. The best parts were with the mom, she was sparky and clever, but after her it became a bit of a clown car exercise of keystone cop chase and forced melodrama. Like I wrote before - meh.
