Review of Magic Magic (2013) by Kevin T — 13 Aug 2018

I love South America. Was interested in this movie, as Chile is a great place. Was interested even more when I heard the word MAPUCHE. Its another one of those movies where to try and add drama & thrill, they make everything at night and too dark to see anything.

Nothing much happens the entire movie & all the characters are tediously dull. Travel all the way around the world to live in towns, houses & environments that could quite easily be in the USA, & then just live dull lives in a house, & not experience the country other than diving into some water.

I don't understand why they all went there. Staying with those dullards would give anyone psychological problems. I stuck it out til the end of the movie, purely because I thought there might be some interesting twist.

Maybe someone turns out to be a psycho killer? Maybe there is real life magic? Maybe she is a witch? Maybe she has been taken over by her animal spirit to protect the forest from these animal killers? No.

.. no plot twist. No interesting ending. It got almost interesting when they had the Mapuche guys doing some kind of ritual to help save her. The movie ends without you knowing if she lives or dies, and to be honest, without even caring much.

(Sorry for the spoiler) - A waste of 2 hours of my life. And I had nothing to do...If you like Juno Temple and Michael Cera, go watch YEAR ONE with Jack Black! Its a stupidly funny movie.
