    💬 Цей фільм трохи жесть. Сюжет крутиться навколо героїнь, які вчилися у престижній музичній школі, грали на віолончелі. Одна із головних героїнь змушена була перервати своє навчання на багато років, так як в неї захворіла мама і вона доглядала за нею. Та тут мама померла, і дівчина може повернутися в ряди музикантів, що вона і планує зробити. В час її відсутності у цій школі вже зросла інша знаменитість. Та дівчата гарно почнуть між собою ладнати, і без любовних сцен не обійдеться. Як тільки дівчата "подружились", нова зірка сцени пропонує своїй подрузі відправитися разом з нею у відпустку, автобусом. Раптом під час поїздки дівчині стає дуже погано, і вже у цей момент ми можемо очікувати початку жестяка в фільмі. Не буду розповідати, що відбуватиметься і що саме ці всі події означатимуть - дивіться вже безпосередньо у стрічці.

    Трейлер (англійською):

    💭 Фільм інтригує своїм сюжетом, та фінал не менш шокуючий, ніж шлях до нього. А точніше, він не те, щоб сильно шокує, мені було не зрозуміло, для чого робити фінал таким, щось типу Whaaat? Але тим не менш, можна поздогадуватися, чому режисер завершив кіно саме так. Ну, якщо ви не боїтесь трошки трешу у кіно - можете також переглянути і висловити свої думки.

  2. The Perfection (film): meant to be a thriller / horror movie with twists@gooddream2585d

    I say that it is "meant" to be because the twists are kind of interesting but especially the last big reveal is just kind of dumb.

    I'm going to be putting spoilers in here because I don't think you should waste your time watching this film. If you want to punish yourself be my guest.... but you should stop reading now if you intend to see a film that I can't imagine how it got a 6.2 on IMDB.

    The movie starts out immediately annoying me as two attractive girls in their mid to late 20's are showcased as being the best cello players in the world (cellists?) They form a friendship and eventually end up making out and getting it on before going on a trip where one of the girls gets terribly ill and eventually has to cut her own arm off. Wait... what?

    This sequence is gory and actually quite well-done as far as grossing out the audience is concerned, but leading up to that occurance is a series of ridiculous events such as these wealthy people going on a really shitty bus trip that no wealthy person would ever go on in the first place and then the driver refuses to allow them to use the bathroom and when one of them gets terribly ill, he refuses to divert course to a doctor.

    I know that bus drivers can be a pretty uncaring bunch, but when someone is throwing up all over your bus, you maybe would pull over to let them relieve themselves. Plus, this is China they are in, not the Congo, doctors are never very far away.

    as it turns out the entire story has a twist where what was actually going on from the start was a revenge plan on the part of one of the girls to "save" the other girl from being abused by their mutual teacher. One way she was going to accomplish this was by having her cut her own hand off - which makes total sense. It seems to me that it would have been a whole lot easier to simply get the guy alone and kill him seeing as how that is what ends up happening anyway.

    This is another one of those films that has a decent trailer and that is what inspired me to watch it in the first place. However, the completely impractical series of events that had even the tiniest thing been a little bit different, the whole plan wouldn't have worked.

    Other than having a few gore moments (which are actually very nicely done) the film is a dud with lots and lots of boring filler with a smattering of action here and there.

    On a scale of "Urgh!" to "Wowsers!" I give The Perfection and overall score of.....

  3. Film Review: 'The Perfection' (2019): An Instant B-Movie Classic@janenightshade2589d

    The Netflix original The Perfection is a wild ride with a lot in common with Asian revenge flicks.

    The Perfection (2018), directed by Richard Shepard, from an original script by Shepard, Eric C. Charmelo and Nicole Snyder; starring Allison Williams, Logan Browning, Steven Weber, and Alaina Huffman.

    The Perfection, a Netflix original directed by veteran television helmer Shepard (Girls), is a bloody, unpretentious B-movie with a preposterous plot. It shamelessly glories in its B-movieness, grabbing the viewer by the lapels and shouting, “Yes, I’m a B-movie! So fucking what? Deal with it!”

    And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. There’s quite a large and welcoming place in horror for films with absurdly twisted plots, one-dimensional characters, and nasty, over-the-top denouements—as long as those elements are done well, with confidence and style. And The Perfection does them very, very well.

    We open in Shanghai where the students and faculty of an elite American music school are attending an international competition. Judging the cello division are two famous alums of the school — Lizzie (Browning, from Dear White People), the current reigning musical star, and Charlotte (Allison Williams, from Get Out), a former star who abandoned her career several years before to care for her sick mother. They play a beautiful cello duet as a demonstration and then get together romantically as well in private hours. Later, they decide to take a tour of rural China on a bus, with disastrous results for Lizzie.

    She becomes very ill, vomits worms, and starts seeing bugs crawling out of her arm. Charlotte convinces her that it’s a rare Ebola-like disease that can only be cured by cutting off her own hand with a cleaver, helpfully provided by Charlotte. Whacked out by seeing and feeling the bugs, Lizzie then does as she’s told and faints dead away afterward.

    Sometime later, Lizzie next shows up at the school--a beautiful mansion in the woods--minus one hand. The school’s sinister director is Anton (Steven Weber, looking not much different from his character in the 90s series Wings) and he’s appalled at Lizzie’s injury, which of course has ruined her usefulness as a star pupil. Anton wants to throw her out, but she explains that she’s got Anton’s other star pupil—Charlotte—in the trunk of her car.

    With Lizzie unable to perform as the school’s star anymore, Anton knows that he needs Charlotte to take her place. He lets both of them in and this sets up the ending, which unveils the dark secrets of the school and its faculty.

    Shepard films it all with confidence and verve, never once letting on that he knows the plot is ludicrously contrived. In a couple of places, he reveals a “twist” by literally backing up the action, in frenetic Guy Ritchie style. It’s fitting that the opening scenes take place in China, because this movie (especially the ending), has a lot of things in common with your average East Asian revenge flick—body horror, dismemberment, a few segues into mild (by Asian standards) torture porn. Don’t go in expecting transcendent cinema, but a watch is recommended for those who can appreciate the special gloriousness of a good, entertaining B-movie. Currently streaming on U.S. Netflix.
