Landon J @Minxsykitty Jul 30 What's so hilarious are the memes about "Eastwood not acting" throughout. This is peak boomer content, culturally and emotionally displaced elder heroically self sacrifices for a better good he's only just come to understand. I probably watched half of this in the form of youtube shorts prior to viewing as I'm sure many have lol. See more Mary T @RT59528739 Jun 7 I loved this movie. I’d never heard about it and found it just accidentally, but what a great chance find! It’s gritty and the opposite of a "woke" movie, where masculinity is shown not just as a threat - although there’s plenty of that - but also as a blessing. It’s a movie exposing the difficulties of different cultures adjusting to the West and the West trying to adjust to them: a mirror to the stresses of today. It seems brash but there are subtle hints throughout the film leading up to the explosive and defining end. It’s almost 20 year old overt racism may make it a tough film to watch nowadays but on the other hand the racism is multi layered, not just white, which makes it real. The building up of the gradual relationship and understanding is I think well paced and natural, leading to an absolutely mind blowing finale. It’s a very moving and unforgettable film imo and I recommend it wholeheartedly. See more Chris J @RT41158647 Jun 7 A compeling story of friendship through authenticity, adversity and redemption.

See more Kau M @KauaMiguel May 23 This was the first Clint Eastwood film I ever saw, and boy, what an incredible movie! I'd always heard good things about it but never read anything about it, so my expectations were often subverted. All the characters are perfectly portrayed, and everything leads to an extremely moving plot that fills your heart and your eyes with tears. See more andrea C @Charst May 4 Clint Eastwood all'ennesima potenza in un film potenzialmente molto vicino alla realtà di alcune zone del mondo; seppure con un contesto leggermente troppo semplificato. La sceneggiatura è buona così come la costruzione dei personaggi; senza dubbio però la parte forte è quella dei dialoghi, credibili e mai banali nonostante possano essere anticipati dallo spettatore. Il finale porta ad un climax di tensione che si risolve in pochi minuti ed in modo tanto semplice quanto potente. Peccato che alcune figure vengano lasciate un po' incompiute o eccessivamente semplificate come quasi tutti i familiari del protagonista. See more Read all reviews
