Dirty Beautiful (2015) Reviews
OK, now let's try a REAL review...?
1. This review penned June 2016 at a time when the ONLY reviews on the IMDb were -- "coincidentally" -- from members who -- "mysteriously" -- had all joined at EXACTLY the same time, had all left only one single review for posterity (of this film, DUH) and all thought it was the greatest thing since Godfather or Star Wars or sliced bread. So, in the interest of fair coverage, I wanted to offer a slightly more objective review from a member with more than one review to his credit. That would be me. 2. A newbie to romcoms might be forgiven for thinking that Woody Allen invented the "mismatched couple" trope with Annie Hall, but this is not true. If you go back to the golden age of film (the 1930s and 1940s) you will find a number of these kinds of scripts, mostly B movies, but many with big names like Harlow and Arthur. Allen does get credit perhaps for deconstructing this kind of story (more than once, in fact) and then rebuilding it, taking it to a new level for the modern viewer. 3. Which of course is precisely what writer/Director Bartell had in mind with Dirty Beautiful. Deconstucting the "mismatched couple" story and then rebuilding it, hopefully, into something new and different. Bartell does succeed -- for about 10 minutes. The setup is great. A clearly neurotic young man for whom women are a complete mystery stumbles across a homeless girl (hot, bright, chatty) who basically has only two questions, DO YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND and DO YOU WANT ONE? Great concept. If they gave Oscars for a logline, this would get a nomination. But they don't. Good films need more than a clever setup. 4. The film peaks at about the 15:00 minute mark and if you stick it out, you will end up almost as neurotic as the central character. The chemistry between the two principles is not there. The script and direction falter. The first person narrative (talking into the camera, as if to the viewer) gets old real fast. If this film were an elevator, it starts at the top floor and just keeps dropping during the run-length. 7. I think my rating is fair. I think everyone involved -- Bartell and his stars -- are capable of doing better. Woody Allen is not staying up nights worried about losing his niche. 8. If you really really want to see this storyline done to perfection, I recommend MY SASSY GIRL, the original 2001 version, in Korean, with subs. (There are multiple remakes of the original, and you can ignore them all.) It is essentially "as good as it gets" for this theme. And entertaining as hell.
This film is definitely not for anyone
It's really gender neutral. You could plug any identity type in the characters and it would be the same. The guy is co-dependent and I just want to hit him. Not realistic for a guy at all to be so feminine. And Kat? She's a drunk and a druggie. No respect for herself or anybody else. But I guess that's the new generation. It's not for me. No depth or connection to the characters at all unless you're a feminist I guess. David said it best on the beach, "David will take me back, he's a big comfy vagina." Then he takes her back. That just about sums up the movie. And the end? Like one minute of happiness then it was over. Give me a break. The whole movie for one minute of a happy ending. I gave three stars just for that.
Cute, but I kept feeling like I was watching a student made movie
I rated this movie a 6 - for me this is 'out of the b-category'. The tag line reflected the content of the actual movie and the story was captivating enough for me. But somehow during the whole movie I kept the feeling that I was watching a work made by a student in it's 3rd year of some movie academy, with actors trying to hard, and being not directed hard or competent - or properly enough (yet) - unfortunately. That's also the (perhaps sad) reason why I wanted to write a review about it. It's 'almost' a pretty decent movie. The main female character is quite likable, still working it out about the guy - the main character. The shots where the main character speaks directly in the camera really bothered me. In general addressing the audience is a tricky thin icy area, when done right of course you'll get away with it. In this movie 'not so much' so to speak. It kept tearing me out of the already fragile bonding with the viewing experience as a whole because of that 'almost'-feeling. Still - the plot made me think about things and the movie and characters moved me. Therefore a heads up, for all the effort. I am sure if in retrospect the edges are be polished, future work of the actors, script writer and director will be quite interesting.
Another "real deal" Review
I first came across this independent film through my Amazon prime account. I'm always curious and interested to watch independent films that didn't necessarily see the light of day in our local multiplexes. I was attracted by the title and the tag line and even the cover image of the poster. And I will honestly say, I was very charmed and pleased with this movie. I actually did give it 9 stars. When I'm looking through some of the other reviews that some say are too conveniently "over-the- top" and others that are "honest" reviews I appreciate them all. In fact, I think that the gentleman that compares this film to "Annie Hall" and Woody Allen really does this movie a great service. Even saying that it falls far short from that benchmark, Is quite a compliment. Because, in fact, this movie is kind of a modern day "Annie Hall". It may not be on the same level as Annie Hall, but it is a modern-day take on a very quirky relationship between two very different people and I think that it actually held up from its initial premise. A premise which is indeed very strong and appealing. I actually wanted to see where their relationship was going and where it would end up. So it kept my attention and interest all the way through until the end. So if you like quirky romantic comedies, I feel very confident in recommending this movie, "Dirty Beautiful".
Nice Love Story
The life from David does change as soon as he is meeting this crazy, childish, adventurous woman who turns him into a more lovely guy. Together with her he experiences a real roller coaster of emotions and their time together brings lots of ups and downs in their lives as well because she likes David but at the beginning she must clarify her relationship with another man who as soon as she meets David she spontaneously radically drops him off (her first guy) from her life and decides to begin the adventure with the sensitive David who believes her and lets her into his life, now knowing what is about to happen. As soon as he lets her into his home and spends his time with her, he realizes that she is a bit crazy in her own way but she also falls in love with him and it takes time until David expresses his emotions towards her that's why she seems a bit frustrated and so arguments appear but their time together in silence proofs that love is what we feel not what we talk. So they soon understand their connection and begin to truly feel for each other. I definitely like this film. Also the acting performances are realistic and so very good.
