Crappy film
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Great movie! from the begining until the end, the movie is very dark and cold
I do not want to prevent anyone from watching this film, but I have to express how much I regret having wasted my time with it. It builds up to a horror climax working on the worst and the darkest of humans. No character is rescued, nor any acting is worth watching what is a long, quite tedious, totally predictable movie. There are several scenes that you will simply wish you may forget because of the all the hatred, the evil, the senseless cruelty, absolutely wanting a bit of intelligence or some sense of proportion.It makes you hate boys, girls, adults, life, yourself, and gives you nothing in return. It ends so poorly, no surprise there...
Two hours of my life lost, then I came to IMDb to see what are the other movies from the same Director and what? Good reviews? What's wrong in people? I don't understand why so many stars. There's nothing interesting in this movie apart for the music. Is it the plot interesting by any chance? Not it isn't. It doesn't work well, it's boring and insane. Using some weird shots, fast speed, slow motion and a jumping editing along with a good dramatic music doesn't make this director a good director. It's not all about creating a style, if the style is neither useful nor tailored for the story.And what about all that talking? I thought cinema was something regarding images and sound. Otherwise I would listen to the radio. For me crap.
When Confessions revealed very early on who the killers are that murdered the teacher's daughter, I immediately had my doubts about how the movie would keep my attention since we knew the identity of the killers. But to my surprise, Confessions kept my attention majority of the time with its unique narrative structure, even if the middle chapter was a tad convoluted. The process of giving us a bit of information set both before and after the events of the murder were quite engrossing to say the least.Considering the narrative is jumbled around quite a bit, as in the movie jumps back and forth in time revealing tiny pieces of information, there are times when the story is sort of difficult to follow. Remembering who said what and how other characters were affected by certain characters actions are at times difficult to follow. But that is not to say Confessions is bad, in fact, it's this type of storytelling that makes the movie tick while being simultaneously compelling. We may know who the murders are, but we don't quite know why they did it nor their fate now that they have been exposed. And it's these questions that get expanded on in great detail as the movie progresses to a wonderful climax. At times, the movie is a bit more improbable than it probably wants to be, but it sure makes for good storytelling. Eventually, all the pieces come together in the final act and we are now left with two very bizarre, ending scenarios.On a side note, what kind of school are they at where kids run rampant at all times? The entire class was so out of line, they showed no signs of respect, nor did there seem to be any type of repercussions for their actions. I have no idea how society works overseas but if it is anything like in this movie, their teachers should be paid hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. Seriously, everyone in the movie was either talking or texting while the teacher was talking or leaving the classroom at any given moment to go bully some other student. The amount of bullying in the movie is staggering (but I'm sure that's the point).Confessions is a very dark movie about revenge that works quite well because of how the director structures the story. It's both shocking and quite moving and fed to the audience in an unusual way that makes it worth watching. Because of this type of structure, Confessions has plenty of tricks up its sleeve and it works at keeping the audience on the edge of their seat.
