Couldn't get past 15 min.
15 minutes into the movie I had to close it. Went online to check the reviews just in case I was missing something. Nope the reviews confirmed my suspicion. Also the sales pitch about the movie during the start was sus. Seems like a 7 year old filmed it with a ipad, don't waste your time on this one.

Slowest developing plot I have ever seen
I'll start with the headline, this is the slowest movie ever. It's sad to see Wthan Hawks boast about this director before the movie and then watch something so terrible. He admits he read the script beforehand so he has no excuse for how bad it was. It felt like I wasted 5 hours of my life watching this and it was under 1:30. Do yourself a favor and watch anything else. I'd even watch the same movie twice in a row and feel like I wasted less time! And him playing two characters made it even worse, not better. Leave that style to Eddie Murphy, at least he can make you laugh! Bottom line, worst movie of 2023 so far and it will probably win some award because critics are so out of touch with reality. - njdevils-75205 - 29 December 2022
The rating is ridiculous
Investigation on the surface of a disappearing world. Nice of Abel to drop a stealth thematic sequel to New Rose Hotel, that movie antecipates 21st century with an accuracy that is scarier by the year and on this one he, Hawke and Sean Price Williams just examine whatever ruin is left. It is bookend by first person videos of Hawke as himself addressing the audience (on the second one he admits the first was done for financers) and he states that it is "Abel movie about 2020" which is both accurate and sort of misleading as this really more a nightmarish evocation of European community descending into chaos mediated by a failed police state, really this a very scummy near videodiary post punk version of De Palma's Domino. It is even very funny in between all the desperation, every one who is annoyed about how the plot remains unreadable might appreciates that Hawke openly admits he didn't understood the script. He is really good and if he is not quite as fascinating a presence as Dafoe, he is also a different one that keeps Ferrara's engaged in a refreshing manner. The plot technically alludes to Hawke searching his revolutionary twin brother and sort of replacing him and its really about embodiment of his ethos. This would be great if it was just about Sean Price Williams finding ways to turn glances of current Rome streets into this feverish no budget dispatch from the end of times, but the ways Ferrara combined it, Hawke performance and his own still very Dyonisian relationship towards it, a carnal love towards a world that mostly spites back, so the movie can finds connections between this near documentary about Rome's streets, speculative paranoid fiction and the certainties about ways technology, government and movies succeed and fail to shape its meaning makes for one of the most provocative things Ferrara has made this past decade. - jcc-42798 - 28 May 2022
So, I tried watching this.
I tried, had no idea why all the noise. Little dialogue in the parts I saw. Still don't have a clue what was happening.
All I can say is I'm glad this was a FREE library checkout and not something I wasted money on. - mariejahlinlee - 11 February 2022
