Review of O (2001) by Enrica C — 02 Jul 2010

A pointless, slow, predictable and boring movie â?? just Hartnett & Stiles were in it, so I wanted to watch it. I can see the point of the movie â??Oâ??: jealousy, and then again - jealousy, but still thereâ??s too much basket, and cell phones, and drugs and cars in there considering that this is inspired by a Shakespeareâ??s playâ?¦ Everybody seems to be doing the wrong thing, thereâ??s too much violence, and thereâ??s a scene that resemble a porn movie. Thereâ??s a big drama that turns out being ridiculous â?? the suicide scene was freaking funny even if it was supposed to be hyper dramatic.

I have to say that despite a horrible opening scene, and an even worse in-between mess â?? â??Oâ?? gets much better toward the ending, which I found good and truly inspiring. You might like it if you liked other Shakespeare movie set in our times â?? e.g. â??Romeo + Julietâ??.
