Reality Reviews
Explores the pratfalls of celebrity with the unashamed extravagance and reckless abandon of reality 온라인카지노추천 and its many characters.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 13, 2019
Reality can be as slow-moving as watching the 24-hour webcam in the Big Brother house. But the payoffs are greater.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 12, 2018
... no one is going to walk away from it with any questions about what [director Matteo Garrone] thinks of reality 온라인카지노추천. That makes the ending quite startling.... It's too bad the first 100 minutes couldn't have taken the same approach.

The parallels between religion and hollow 온라인카지노추천 celebrity addiction are belaboured in this overdrawn satire that ends up as an eloquently shot study of a deluded man's disintegration.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 1, 2017
It's all very well done, with evocative character actors like those used by Fellini, and settings reminiscent of Vittorio De Sica's 1960s comedies.

In this echo chamber of fame-for-fame's-sake, real life imitates reel life. There's a lurid, Felliniesque sheen to Garrone's floating camerawork; this is reality tweaked, dialed up to 10.1. And there's a cheeky, sideways satire of Roman Catholicism.

Reality is a little too thin to be truly satisfying. However, Garrone's elegant visual palette and Arena's remarkable central performance shift a potentially trite message into a gloriously warm and novel experience.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 17, 2014
The story is too slight.
| Original Score: C+ | Jan 16, 2014
It's clear that Garrone is lamenting the death of culture. But the movie is more compassionate than screed-y. It's a portrait of the preoccupation with fame in an age in which in fame is cheap.

This movie shows a bit of the human costs of reality 온라인카지노추천, but not the full extent of it.

Those who found Gomorrah embarrassingly overrated can relax. Despite a first half that's basically a spin-off of the 2008 movie that brought Matteo Garrone international acclaim, Reality turns out to be its veritable refutation.

... works on multiple levels and Arena, who worked within a prison release arrangement while serving a life sentence, creates an indelible, sad character.
| Original Score: A- | Sep 3, 2013
Italian satire amusingly sends up our obsession with reality 온라인카지노추천, but not in a wholly satisfying way.
| Jul 24, 2013
It is a brutal, frank, painful and highly meticulous look at an ordinary man undergoing a very modern crisis amidst a very simple life.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 16, 2013
Captures the 21st-century affliction of learned discontent, where perfectly happy people go in quest of something they think is better. Reality is a thoughtful, intelligent film.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 13, 2013
Part fairy tale, part religious allegory, and part scathing indictment, but the comedy remains light.
| Original Score: B+ | Jul 13, 2013
Garrone has confounded expectations with this light, Fellini-esque send-up of reality television and the celebrity it has spawned.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 7, 2013
A long and meandering satire on FOMO and self-delusion, and a shrewd commentary on the desire for the illusive fame that comes with reality television.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 5, 2013
My disappointment comes not just from the fact that the subject matter is soft but from the fact that the film is so thin
| Jun 29, 2013
The themes involving the confused sense of today's reality hit a note, (but) the film is not funny enough, nor interesting enough to hold our attention for its 116 minute running time
