Review of Miral (2010) by Derrick D — 25 Mar 2011
While it's well-acted and great to see Slumdog's Freida Pinto grow as a dramatic actress, the cinematography was so nauseating! I don't think the camera crew understood the concept of "Zoom Out.
" Everything is in close-up or extreme close-up with lots of artsy camera work (blurry images, overexposed film, etc.) and constantly moving. Sure it gives the movie a certain rawness but tell that to the two people who had to leave halfway into the movie to visit the restroom for a face-to-bowl encounter with a public toilet.
If you like Freida Pinto (which is the only reason I bothered watching this), then wait for the DVD and fast forward to about 45 minutes into the movie. Maybe you'll make it thru with your food still in your stomach.
