Movie Reviews of Exotica
Movie Review: Not for those trained in the obvious.
Summary: 5 Stars
For those of you who have given the film's it's deserved due you have to read the reviews from those who found the movie unwatchable. (...). Yes, our television trained mass public will find this movie trash because their minds will not comprehend the genuis apparent in this film. I've never in my life seen a movie where all the characters who seemed one dimensional and creepy turn out to be beautiful. It's brilliant.
(...).
This film is a test of your skills of perception.
Many will fail. Thank GOD I passed.
Anyone who has ever moaned about the watering down of our modern art forms can breath a sigh of relief. There is intelligent life in the film industry.
Movie Review: Weird, kinky, and dark
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought this was one of the most interesting films to come out of the 90's. The film's weird, kinky, and dark overtones and themes interweave to produce an oddly engrossing film. All the main characters in the movie bring virtually truckloads of emotional baggage to their relationships, and the movie doesn't so much resolve those tensions so much as use them to provide an emotionally charged atmosphere, as we see the hidden elements of each relationship peeled off and revealed until the final climax of the movie is reached. Overall, a fine film and one that should reward seeing again.Movie Review: The End Justifies the Means
Summary: 5 Stars
Exotica begins with moody meandering among characters, some of whom have wound up one way or another in a strip bar. Powerful but depressing lines delivered by a lonely tax auditor (Bruce Greenwood) are tugged back to earth by the less articulate teenage housesitter(Sarah Polley),rendering them more touching in retrospect. A preposterous revenge plot was too much for many viewers & I don't blame them. However the final scene(last five minutes)left me with the conviction that I had seen a great film. Note the soundtrack is also a good thing to have.Movie Review: A masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
Ignore the comments of the person who is listed here as Brad13, unfortunately, it seems this complex film is way out of his league. Exotica is a study on the nature and affects on loss, and whilst it may take a couple of viewings to soak it all in , that is more to the power that it contains. Atom Egoyan is a genius, this is probably his finest film, and anyone with a capacity for empathy for there fellow man , and understanding of pain in loss in all its outcomes , should find something to cherish and reflect upon.Movie Review: Great film!
Summary: 5 Stars
Seems more exotic than the average vanilla indie film. Sultry and provacative but tastefully done without the formulaic melodrama behind it. It's fresh and earnest showing loss and obsession intertwined in three individual lives. Plus, you can't discount that EXOTICA is an exciting cool club with that mediterannean/Egyptian feel that adds sultriness to the emotional confusion. The music is great as well. I love middle eastern music. Great acting. See it.
