Reviews
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.
Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
In the perpetual quest for ever higher production values, today's mainstream movies are boringly predictable. The power of films in the faux-documentary style such as Sweaty Betty is that they are, if anything, completely unpredictable. This film is pure, raw filmmaking, proudly bearing all its rough edges for all to see. Clearly, the movie has the spirit of Ozu, in that it focuses us on very intimate stories of normal people's lives, without any sentimentality or melodrama. The intentionally low quality of the video introduces the camera-as-character, drawing us further into the story. Having said that, I think that the lack of a tripod was the single most negative factor. The shaky camera work hurts the eyes over the 90 minute run of the film.
