Entiendo la sátira, lo estereotipados que están los personajes, se puede deducir con cierta facilidad en quienes están basados y el mensaje que se quiere dar, pero es que no conecte con ella en ningún momento, el elenco es MUY bueno, pero el ritmo lento para construir un climax que nunca termina de llegar y el final anticlimático que explica vagamente lo que esta pasando son un bajón claro en una película que pudo haber dado mucho más.

An underrated movie that is a hidden gem. The hidden messages about our political climate and a foreshadowing of what’s to come. With all that, it’s funny, gloomy, dramatic, and charming.

It's art. It's not really genre fiction. Being art, there is a point being made which may or may not stand the test of time. There are some goodish points made via satire, but it lacks the brilliance of, say, Pope or Swift, but kudos for the attempt.

I just found it disrespectful, not really satirizing anything, just making fun of the characters with no empathy. I wonder what the people he was lampooning felt about it, frankly hope they don't see it. I like Maddin so kept hoping it would improve, but ended up sorry I hadn't walked out.

The wide disparity between the critics and the popcorn crowd says it all. A critic is in danger of losing face with the cognoscenti if he or she discloses his or her true feelings about a POS dropped on the road by prominent Film "Artiste." Paying customers have no such concerns. I won't bother to elaborate, just read the other one-star reviews, which are mercifully short and refreshingly honest.

Another high score movie according to RT. It's as the G7 summit really is. lots fast talking and hard to follow. I use close caption so I couldn't follow anything because before I could finish reading the caption it was gone and someone else was fast talking. I found it very irritating to watch it. I lasted all of 10 minutes.

And I didn't like it. At first, I was very intrigued by the premise of the movie. The leaders of the G7 come together and are then thrown into a crisis where they are left to their own devices and they have to survive by themselves. Which could be a great allegory for the state of the world today. Instead it is a bizarre, pointless wander through the interactions between the different characters as they make their way to potential safety. Every single one of them is a characterless as the next, nothing defines them as they bumble through the story mumbling with big words that are just as meaningless. The events that spurred their walk of survival are just as useless as the leaders. There is no clue at all what is happening, nothing is even remotely explained (nor are the masturbating bog-people coming to life and the big brain they find in the woods). Which I guess... Is the point of it all? I have no idea. The couple of points it gets is the two laughs it got out of me and the interesting use of colour. Besides that... A miss. A shame, really. (I have no clue why Cate Blanchett and Charles Dance chose to be in this project, which is as bizarre as the movie.)

Watching this movie was an utter waste of time. Even Cate Blanchett can't save the poor script and one wonders why she has lent her reputation for this drag. Even the title of the film is totally incomprehensible.

A horror film centered around the G7 summit is certainly a novel idea. My problem is with the execution. I couldn't tell what point the film is trying to make. Is it that our leaders are bumbling yet articulate dumbasses? I don't know if I need to see a movie to know that.

A colossal waste of time. We walked out. The idea of a satire based around the G7 could be smart and witty, yet this film was just terrible all round. The plot is stupid and the dialogue bland. The biggest travesty is that there are so many great untold stories out in the world and so many ways in echo to bring political satire and the absurdity (& little-ness) of modern politicians to the screen, yet this is what gets made.

I really wanted to like this and went back and finished it after my wife and I originally gave up at around 30 minutes. The entire thing is so pretentious and glacially paced, the humor, or attempts at it, fall flat. The director wants so badly to be Wes Anderson and fails on every level.

An interesting comedic romp mashing together politics, zombies, romance, and the apocaplyse.

I didn't know what to expect from this movie and I certainly got quite a surprise. What starts off in a serious way as a meeting of the G7 and them trying to write their joint statement to an impending world crisis, it suddenly takes a turn and enters the twilight zone. The film then ricochets between comedy, political satire, surrealism, absurdism and pure silliness. The G7 end up being caught up in a vortex worthy of a B Grade horror movie with weird creatues appearing, threatening their existence and eventually trying to destroy them. Among all this chaos we are confronted by a huge brain in the forest representing I am not quite sure what. But it gets blown up. Is it the brain of the G7 going up in flames, all the G7 or the world. Well they all survive and finally piece together their statement (a very amusing part of the movie with bits an pieces of paper being stuck together with sticky tape) and it is delivered to the world from the balcony of a chateau. It is a cliche ridden overly dramatic piece of platitudes reminiscent of many of the political speeches of the past- all in the vain hope of saving humanity.

Self indulgent, unfocused, sluggish, bad.

"Rumours" political satire take on the G7 leaders annual conference leading to a bizarre series of events from dealing with global crisis, getting lost in the woods, to bog bodies & a giant brain that makes up for perfectly fine satire. While I quite enjoyed "Rumours" the first half is the strongest, it had some solid comedic moments from the characters played by an excellent cast. Using the the political bickering from trying to one up each other & the usual political talking points that sound like every bad YouTuber apology video. I appreciated the path they took with the satire, but the more it went on, the second half doesn't quite live up to the first half, even with the on the nose self pleasing political speech.

I went into this film without knowing to much not wanting to spoil it and I'll keep the review spoiler free, but honestly there isn't much to spoil and that is the problem I had with Rumours. The trailer to this film sets the scene for a satire involving the meeting of world leaders who become entangled in some strange supernatural or perhaps paranormal events. However the film does not deliver on any of its promises. The dialogue is convoluted and drags on. there a several scenes that do absolutely nothing for the story and only contribute to the bloated 2 hour runtime. Anytime there is a moment of levity or something mysterious happens, its over as quickly as it began and we are back to the same old dialogue surrounding a plot device that totally ignores events any sane person would be prioritising. Perhaps that is the point. Very little that happens in the film is given any form of context leaving the viewer questioning why or how. Rumours is hard work. I'm sure there a people out there who will find something in it. I just see a jumbled mess of nothing. 2 hours of speaking with almost nothing said, maybe 5-10 minutes screen time of the supernatural stuff with no reason or context for it, a series of events that have no reason behind them and an ending that's pretty lacklustre. I'm pretty patient with most films but this one had me on the verge of dozing off.

I had no idea that this was supposed to be a comedy until reading summaries after I had seen it. It is not in the least bit funny. It’s magical realist nonsense.

Giving this an 6/10 rating So bizarre is this film, six of us were in the screen when I watched it, and three walked out about 40 minutes into it, and too be fair, I can understand, this film is horror, comedy, satire and political drama, you get all of that, thanks to Evan Johnson, Galen Johnson and Guy Maddin. All three writing and directing this madness. This is Guy Maddin, all over, so I expected it weird and arthouse, not making any real sense neither, well ,some kid of plot, which is there, thanks to the acting of Cate Blanchett, Charles Dance, and others with Alicia Vikander doing a some very odd work here. The cast had some real work to do in this, and with the most strangest dialogue and situations this year, it was not a total loss, not one to walk out on, if you knew what to expect, as I did. Not in the worst film this year, that goes too ’The Crow’, not sure if this is one that really will pull in much crowds, which is why it has such a limited showing. Had to travel a bit for this one and find good time as well, was not doing the 9pm slots that most cinemas are showing it.

That movie was so bad it was offensive, truly a spit in the face of the movie going public, films of this ilk are killing cinema and the experience of going to see films

Terrible at all levels. Those critics should find another job
