Lost Transmissions Reviews
Habría mandado al carajo a Theo en la primera media hora. Pero como la protagonista no soy yo (por suerte) y la trama continua se obtiene este drama crudo y bastante triste sobre enfermedades mentales. Buena para verla, horrible para vivirla.
It's undeniably rough around the edges but I didn't really mind. The performances and handling of the subject matter were excellent.
Yet another pegg vanity project that no one has ever heard of or could care even about, can someone just tell him to stop now please
its cast is waisted in a film that never seems to know what it wants to be.
The movie started strong, with beautiful colour and camera work, however, as the story went on, it started to lose its way. The ending felt unfinished and lost its chance to leave a lesson or strong impression. The acting was phenomenal. I cannot think of a way for the actors to approach their characters mental illness better it's just a shame the story didn't do the same justice. Lots of potential just could have used a bit longer to create a stronger ending.
Lost Transmissions is one of the best & brilliantly well acted films on metal health, I have ever seen in recent years. with a moving story & especially the performances from Simon Pegg as record producer Theo Ross & Juno Temple as shy singer Hannah. highly recommended. 4/5. :)
Aimlessness can be a quality but not here
Does anyone really like movies like this? Ranting, arguments etc. This self quarantine is driving me mad
A perfect insight into what it's like to feel the detachment from reality with mental illness. Katherine O'Brien's careful display of what this feels like is masterful. Juno's performance as Hannah, somebody who is trying to find answers to her own desperate psychosis through her attempts to see what it's like for Theo (Pegg) is sad and uplifting all at the same time. To understand Theo's illness she is prepared to follow him down "the rabbit hole" in order to find her own salvation. The only thing that could improve what is already an excellent film would be to have seen where Hannah had come from to be who she is when she learns about Theo, but then again "time is frozen" so it's down to the viewer to establish more back story. Something which isn't difficult to imagine, given an opportunity to do so. Theo's obsession with Wendy, especially toward the end of the film brings any disparate threads together really well. This is a film with little narrative but doesn't suffer for it. The scenes of Juno searching for Theo in Skid Row, San Francisco are intelligently filmed and give gravitas to the desperation of individuals who have fallen through the cracks of society. A beautiful film which doesn't preach or take the moral high ground in any way. O'Brien's film portrays it's subject matter both powerfully and with fragility also.
Hated it. Bad acting. Social commentary with no interesting story. No idea why the main character cared so deeply for the guy.
