Undescribable Perfection
Purely Joyful Movie!
Admirable film.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
I'm actually wondering if this is a piece of antisemitic misogyny. In your face..literally. Crap.
Don't read the reviews! Just watch! If you don't get offended by bizarre and shocking subjects, please watch it!! An absolute must! Please ignore all negative reviews! The movie is a bit slow but when it gets to the point it'll hold you! Watch it!
On the surface, Malady is a film about the burgeoning relationship of a young couple, and the slow unravelling of the secrets that they both keep. At its core though, Malady deals with themes of obsession, possession, and shame. It becomes a close and personal examination of how psychological baggage can drive any relationship to its breaking point.The tight-in, held held shooting style lends the film a level of intimacy that can often border voyeuristic discomfort. This only serves to build a level of tension that, scene by scene, ratchets up to a finale wherein every single word uttered and every action made seems to have immense gravity and potential consequence.No, it's probably not a date night film, but it's dark, it's weird, it's well constructed, and above all, it's thoughtful. It's an accomplished debut, and a real breath of fresh air for UK indie cinema.
Ishtar was better than this.Save your two hours and pull out your toenails instead.Screws his dead mother and then roll credits.Just horrible.
