*don't waste your time*. Most of the movie happens in a sort of multi-floor prison where the top levels can control the food that goes to the bottom floors. This created a sort of class structure where top-levelers had pleasure on denying food to the bottom levels, although the floors were sorted periodically. The protagonist started to question...

A violent form of demonstration of the problems of capitalist society. Despite the fact that the level of violence is too much for me, I understand purpose of it for narration. Actually I find this film quite spiritual. The parallel between Jesus and Christian values is quite obvious.

If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free reviews, please follow my blog @ https://www.msbreviews.com Netflix has been supporting small, independent filmmaking for a while now. In 2018, Roma (re)opened a Best Picture nomination path to foreign films. Last year, Martin Scorsese's epic The Irishman could only come to life via streaming since no...

A fantastic watch, will watch again, and can recommend. This is a survivalist movie, heavy with philosophy of morality. A lot of the time when I get to say anything close to that, I get to say, "but there is humor too", there is not: not traditional humor anyways. This is a dark movie filled with metaphor and cruel reality. Now while I...

Rate: zero This is what happens when we build a house for a door (instead of building a house and then put doors in it); An exotic, dirty and cluttered movie. Dirty but not necessarily in the visual meaning but in the cinematic meant. The director does not know what he wants to do at all, the camera angles, the frames, the compositions and...

**The Platform is a unique story that asks some deep questions but ultimately left me disappointed.** The Platform has such an intriguing concept that raises a variety of potent philosophical and moral questions and dilemmas. The film begs the question, “What if?” How would I respond in such dire and impossible circumstances? What would I do?...

"The Platform" is one of those movies that sticks with you long after the credits roll. It's not your typical horror flick, though it definitely has some gruesome moments. This isn't about jump scares, it's about a terrifying concept that's surprisingly relevant to our world. The directing is brilliant. They keep the tension high throughout,...

The Platform (2019) explores wealth inequality through a brutal vertical prison system, symbolizing human greed and survival instincts. Director Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia uses minimal sets enhanced by visual effects to create a dystopian environment that reflects social critique. Cannibalism and violence serve as metaphors for selfishness in a...
