Negative Positive
Title: Brutally Beautiful
Review: I can't begin to describe this picture, to do it justice. The film is a series of short vignettes (some that are plain bizarre) that start to make sense only at the end. Figgis is on top of everything: the beautiful composition of each shot, the music, the editing, and the story. Taken as a whole, Mike Figgis just might be the most versatile and multi-talented filmmaker today. Can we start to make comparisons to Bergman? Do we dare?In all, this movie isn't for everyone. If you fall asleep for a moment, it's all over. This is one of those litmus test movies. If you love it, you'll start to evaluate all your friends on the basis of their appreciation of this film.
Is the review positive or negative?
