The Longest Week

Well this was unexpectedly well written and a visually pleasing experience.

What’s funny is the movie is about a man who can’t get his life together but eventually becomes a derivative writer and this movie is nothing but the a shittier version of wes/Baumbach etc.

Derivative and mostly just a big nothing of a film. Jason Bateman is good.

Wes Anderson without Wes Anderson.

The Longest Movie

Horroroso, mas gostei

The longest week ? For me this was the longest movie. Ever ! My opinion here : http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be/2015/08/the-longest-week-2014.html [Full review]

Just too dry, too annoying, too difficult to connect with.

Movie, please shut up

The Longest Week is slow, occasionally humourous, and rather disappointing. The film bears a stylistic similarity to Wes Anderson's films, with the sensibility of Woody Allen or Roman Polanski. By the end, it felt overdrawn, the narration was starting to grate, and I found myself pitying Conrad (Bateman) for having finally grown up.

It almost felt like an Anderson movie, not as good of course, still it had a decent style and pace and was a very good and somewhat fresh watch. The acting was solid and it was a good and fun movie all around.

Enjoyable, but rarely poignant.

The Longest Week isn't a particularly dull film, but it provides you no reason to watch it. It consists primarily of rich people whining about insignificant problems and then claiming that, like, dude, they're totally important. They're not. The audience won't care. There's no story to be told and no character worth seeing in this movie. It's a Wes Anderson knockoff, one that captures the style but not the emotion of Anderson's films. Copy all the way or don't bother.

Clever and entertaining.
