    I adore art films. This ain't one
    Holy hell this is some terrible filmmaking.

    I'm not a shallow person who needs a basic script. I like my Kubricks, my Cassavetes, my Varda, my Schrader, my Schlesinger, even my Jodorowsky. I love Sparks and admire their career.

    But this movie is hot garbage. It has no redeeming quality. No message for humanity. No entertainment value. It will embarrass you for trying to watch it, and strike a terribly sour and discordant note across the melody of your evening, which you will have to salvage in your own way.

    Whoever watched the dailies on this production team and didn't shut it down should truly be ashamed of themselves.

    Wonderful!
    First of all, the Sparks brothers are revolutionary musicians. If you like something current in electronic music, or even past music it most likely was inspired by their innovations.

    If you fast forwarded no wonder you don't get it. Grow back your attention span. Sorry this isn't a 15 sec TikTok video or an action flick. At the beginning I wondered where it would go because at first it seems like a simple story. It is NOT. It is amazing. Hang in there with it. I actually want to watch it again because I know I missed some subtle things that you just can't get in one take.

    Adam Driver was amazing! Imagine being asked to portray such insane moments/feelings as an actor? He did so with complete abandon. Marion Cotillard was an equally wonderful counterpart.

    I have never seen anything quite like it. And as I age that is what I most long to see. I am sorry some of you didn't get it. But to me anything the Sparks Brothers touch isn't simplistic. Too bad for some of you, you seem to have missed it. But, I am happy for myself that had the pleasure of witnessing it.
