Best movie of this year hands down!
That was an excellent one.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Moody and well done. It s dark and dicey as thriller should be. good job
What I loved about this film was the rawness and real feel it brought. The actors delivered superb performances, no glamour just raw, gritty and real. You follow a group of small town residents in Louisiana and the hardships they face individually. I truly enjoyed the cinematography as well, so beautifully shot. It's dark, suspense filled ride from start to finish.
This film has a great idea: following a dollar bill as it changes hands, through a cast of mostly dysfunctional gritty characters, through a tale of murder, alcohol, sex, redneck racism, and drugs in Louisiana. What's not to like? Only a few things:1. The script2. The acting3. Wiggle-cam (not enough to induce nausea, but definitely enough to be annoying, intrusive, and an affectation). This is one of those films where it's hard to tell what's worse, the acting or the script. I think it's a tie. The cinematography is well crafted at times, if you can see through the wiggle-cam, but not enough to redeem the rest. I sat through the whole thing, but it was difficult.
'One Buck' is the title of a disturbing plot that shares equal parts with the thriller and the sordid but deeply moral drama of a modern society broken in many pieces. It looks for desperate exits without finding them, except if they approach the hell, which is nothing other than the salvation of the soul.Although 'One Buck' does not have an absolute artistic originality; that is to say: a full author has not yet been defined and dedicated to a world of his own, he does have many virtues and certain formal findings regarding the treatment of violence and, above all, of sex. There is narrative economy, austerity, and commitment to the pursuit of a film ethic to be honest with the viewer.There is a visual force that unites with a careful work of casting, and a solid work with the actors that contributes to painting the whole range of pale colors that 'One Buck' has from beginning to end.Miguel Ángel Barroso/Cult Critic/CICFF
