The Forbidden Girl (2019)

The Worst Film Ever

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

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.

Good quality cinematography, acting isn't completely terrible, and the music shows some acumen. But the script was written by a college drop out on crack or something close. The direction shows no attempt to make any sense out of the story, but just makes each succeeding scene more irrelevant than the last. In this way, the film achieves a pseudo- artistic mystique that it doesn't deserve from a pervasive contrived ugliness. I have to say that neither of the female actresses is even close to being attractive enough to be worth even a fraction of the trouble they seem to cause the male characters. I'll just pass on this waste of time.

This movie was really an uphill battle to sit through, especially because it was unbelievably slow paced and uneventful. I had to split this movie up over two days, because I literally fell asleep after the first 30 minutes of watching it, and then I decided to give the movie a second chance the next day. Picking up from where I fell asleep, but I quickly within another 15 minutes or so had to turn it off and find something else to watch.Yeah, this movie is just that dull and mind-numbing.The story is uneventful and rather mundane to say the least. And as such, then it was very hard to invest yourself into the movie or buy into it. And having this slow pace in a movie is a test for anyone watching it. I succumbed to it and just gave up.The acting was adequate. And I can't claim to have seen anyone in the movie elsewhere, so it was actually nice to see a whole new ensemble of people in a movie. Just a shame that the movie killed itself off with its downright sheer boredom."The Forbidden Girl" wasn't my cup of tea, to say the least. And I can honestly say that I will never attempt to finish it - it just lacks anything that even resembles any kind of appeal.

This is one of those movies that never provides any kind of satisfactory sense of what is going on. One minute the kid is at home (in what seems like an insane asylum, or a cult), the next he's in a real insane asylum, then next moment he's in some house trying to get a job as a Tutor, who knows for what. Suddenly he's a prisoner in this house, but he seems to have no problem with it. Lots of bizarre stuff happens with no connecting plot links, it's all very arbitrary and random. It's as if the writer had several ideas and played them all out as he narrowed down what one to finally end the movie on. Which, when you discover the plot revealed at the end, makes the majority of the movie seem completely nonsensical. It is truly a bad movie; some movies can even be so bad they're good, but not this one, it's just a lousy waste of time. It finally ended rather in a rather cliché way and I asked myself for the hundredth time "really? what the hell?!".. And as for the other reviews touting the "WTF!?" quality of this movie. They must either have some really good drugs, or they are just really easily amazed. There were no good WTF scenes. I could understand if this movie had some actual entertaining WTF scenes, but these weren't like that. These were the lame "WTF? that made no sense! why am i watching this piece of crap?!" kind of WTF scenes. A movie that is just mind-numbingly confusing and convoluted does not make it GOOD. In fact it was so bad, I took it upon myself to come write this review to warn others not to waste their time too!

I'm really surprised by this movie. It is 'bad' in many aspects, but is also really WTF worthy. The cinematography is really quite good. There are completely amazing scenes and then... it gets 'bad' again (e.g. contrived, writing, etc.). Still, the thing is, every time the movie gets 'bad' all of a sudden there's a completely WTF scene and I'm amazed.I have to say that I have not recently come across a movie that is so bad and good at the same time. It's almost schizophrenic. I recommend a watch/rent. There may be genius here. Also it's entertaining which is more than I can say for most crappy big-budget movies lately. I haven't watched the end yet, but hopefully it wraps up all this craziness.Edit: I'm sort of convinced that this is a brilliant film disguised as a bad movie. I'm not sure what I'm watching, which is impressive. It's really weird. I'm going to say that this is a great flick that may someday achieve cult status.
