Jun 12, 2021 Esse filme me machucou de várias maneiras possíveis, uma miscelânea de várias situações de racismo, como pano de fundo a revolta de Los Angeles, mas por outro lado deixou meu coração quentinho com o amor e caridade nos atos e gestos de Millie Dunbar, por mais pessoas assim, e Daniel Craig está ótimo como o vizinho valente beberrão e depois com as crianças, fofo… Por fim, se torna leve e divertido, me meio a toda revolta, e ocasionalmente angustiante, as crianças desconsertante… See more Ethan T @RT27166968 Mar 24, 2021 Look: films depicting such racially charged and pivotal events dripping with so much emotion will always get a free pass to some extent when exploring worthy themes with good intentions. One cannot really do that with this one, whether or not it is situated around the Rodney King violence and resulting riots. This is because the result of this project is a product so startlingly inept that it honestly immunizes itself from any piteous treatment that films like these would often benefit from. Let's start with the positives: Craig and Berry. Good actors, very good. How the mighty can fall. Just a shame that the roles both play are crafted ridiculously without a care for good plotting or characterization. We receive one of the most half-baked romances including an absolutely pointless sexual dream sequence with no point of reference or context whatsoever. Speaking of romance, the love triangle involving one of Berry's character's wards is equally uncalled for and melodramatic. Instead of an earnest view of true, important events, the audience is made to sit through an appalling orgy of random storylines set against a backdrop of this tension. Safe yourself the trouble.

Halle Berry is just fantastic. See more May 31, 2020 I believe it concerns the absurdity of existence in such a threatening environment. The romantic comedy part was just an unsuccessful juxtapositioning of opposing emotions pointing towards our inability to match our own crisis.

I was hoping to see something with substance and sadly the whole film is hectic and made me vainly wait for it to calm down and begin to tell a story. Only a catwalk for the two stars of the cast.
