Oct 7, 2019 This movie was absolutely horrible. I came in thinking that the movie would be a low budget artsy film with something to say about something. And yet by the time the two hour runtime was over (though it could have been 30 minutes) I walked away with no idea what the film was trying to say. Not only did the film not go anywhere, especially after the first act, but the majority of the film was boring and filled with uninteresting dialogue, one dimensional characters, ok acting, and strange directorial choices that went nowhere. Maybe what the film was trying to say went over my head, but it really didn't, it was just shit. Ignore the critic score and stay away from this film. See more

Oct 7, 2019 This movie was a ridiculously long and pointless exploration of everything that's wrong with artsy films. It's attempt to make you think was pretentious and uncomfortable. It was two hours and three minutes and it was two hours too long. The plot ends about halfway through the movie and then nothing happens. The last 30-45 minutes was full of shots that made you think "this is the final shot" and then it isn't. By the end, I was almost in tears when a new scene started. Its first forty jumpcuts were fine but the next one-hundred-sixty were awful. I needed it to be over. I would have left if I wasn't getting class credit for it. If you have the chance to see it, decline, for the love of all that is holy in the world, decline. See more

Dec 22, 2018 Naturalistic actors do a lot with so little...ordinary lives and troubles which gesture to the universal problems of life, dreams, and reality. See more

Jul 26, 2018 Intense and moving, Felicite, at its heart, is a tribute to a mother's unconditional love. A lounge singer navigates the charged streets of Kinshasha to get the money she needs to help her son after a motorcycle accident. I caught this flick during perhaps the only window it was available in Houston. The foreign-language treasure hit U.S. streaming platforms in late January. See more
