Little Joe Reviews

Jan 6, 2025

Slow moving but interesting. It will anger some, but I found it quite good. The only disturbing thing is some of the main characters shirt collars.

Ugh…wasted 2 hours of my life. Nothing happened, waited and waited....and waited.

Disappointingly flat and dull for a film with such a visually striking color palette.

There's something not quite right about this film. I think it's trying to capture the creepiness of old 온라인카지노추천 series like 'Chocky' or 'Children of the Stones', but the production values are too high to make it work. The normally great actors were clearly given a directive line to be a bit stiff throughout, presumably to increase the uncertainty about whether the plants are affecting people or not—a brave strategy that unfortunately doesn't pay off.

Its supposed to be horror? I thought it was an arthouse or student movie. There is really only 20 minutes of plot stretched out over 2 hours. The music and sound is particularly bad. If you can't stand overbearing music, don't watch this movie. It has a lot of Japanese-y music for some unknown reason - shakuhachi and similar. Its either so quiet you can't hear anything, or so ridiculously loud you'll need to turn it down. I like Japanese music, but this was a lousy use of it.

This movie was one of the most boring movies I've ever watched, they spent all their money on the aesthetic and nun on the plot. I've never been so upset that I watched a movie in my life

Leisurely, but gorgeous, and ultimately deeply chilling. This film rewards a patient viewer who, while the story builds, may enjoy the sheer aesthetics of it. A full star off for a repeated feedback-whine sound effect however. The sensitive of ears will have to mute it sometimes.

Overall, while Little Joe delivers a familiar story, I found myself quite curious and invested in its plot.  There are some pleasant moments of tension and storytelling on screen.  Performances here are excellent, with a filming style to complement them.  However, I was somewhat disappointed by the film's final moments, which felt slow and relatively weak.  The musical score is also questionable and, at times, unfitting.  This film may not suit everyone's taste or style.

This is a decidedly quirky watch. It's quite atmospheric and has a sinister undertone, provided by the unsettling incidental music played in the background (the shrieky moments sounded quite unpleasant. There is an element of 'fingers down the chalkboard' present at times). The plot is, it's fair to say, rather unclear. There's a definite curiosity factor at play and the cast do a pretty decent job but it's just a bit too...unstructured for my personal taste. Also the fact that a virus is mentioned in it seemed somehow ironic in this day and age. I guess it has a sci-fi angle or feel to it, although its not really a 'traditional sci-fi film'. It's a bit too out there for me and so I wouldn't actively recommend it as such, no.

SOOOOO BOOOOORIIIIING

Was macht „Little Joe – Glück ist ein Geschäft" von Jessica Hausner (Regie/Buch), nun zum Psychothriller. Sind es die kurzen, pikanten Dialoge. Die weiße Sterilität, und die fehlende Ausstattung. Das Mystische und stille Spiel der Schauspieler. Die fernöstliche Filmmusik mit Hundegebell. Ist es, Emily Beecham in der Rolle der Mutter „Alice". Ja alles zusammen macht es zu einem Stillen und Anmutigen Psychothriller der zum Nachdenken anregt.

This film is a waste of plot because the latter is very particular but it has been wasted in a film that is ridiculously banal and in general ugly and without my sense and moreover it is a deadly bore.

Totally boring drawn out utter rubbish lol. Dont!

It was like watching paint dry. I don't believe this is a horror movie. It was clear what was happening from the outset.

Such a clear vision for the film- I expect developed with a wonderful designer and DoP. I can't say I enjoyed it but I do think it's a masterpiece. Without the sound effects and music it would be as sterile as the sets. I'm also glad I didn't pay to see it at the cinema as I would have had a creepy walk home. However, for its originality I recommend a viewing. Beware: the sound effects do their best to alienate you from the start

Odd Brit film about a plant specialist that has created a flower that can influence human emotions. Things don't go too well. A good...ahem..."little" film with a quirky slant that's all too absent from movies these days. It's very low key, subtle, but quite effective tale, with a good performance from the lead, Emily Beecham and good support from Ben Whishaw and Kerry Fox, who I haven't seen in anything since 'Shallow Ground'. Be advised that there are tremendously irritating sound effects throughout the picture though, which while they're there on purpose to create unease, ended just just annoying me. Besides that, I can't really fault it.

Little Joe was quite possibly the worst movie I've ever seen. It has managed to surpass Basket Case as worst movie ever. If you have a couple hours to flush down the toilet, seek that one out. At least Basket Case was laughable, so I suppose there's some entertainment value in that. But Little Joe is able to be so mind numbingly boring that any interesting plot about a sentient plant developing a human-like survival instinct is completely washed off the screen in a tsunami of utter boredom. I want the last two hours of my life back!

A ponderous piece of poo

Did we need yet another remake of "Invasion of the body snatchers?". Boring, predictable and unconvincing. Left me completely cold.

If there's one thing that really makes this movie a painful sit through, it's that annoying, high pitched screech that's present almost 90% of the goddamn movie, and it really, really what brings the film down from the numerous other problems it has. If the screech wasn't bad enough, the music, which isn't necessarily a bad score, just sounds awful in this film AND it doesn't mesh well with it. It's a mostly Japanese-based score played in a UK setting, which makes extremely little cultural sense, and wouldn't even be so bad if the characters weren't so BORING either. Frustrating sit through. The visuals and cinematography are beautiful, but that's about as big of a compliment I'm willing to give it.
