Review Time: generally speaking this title is a little bit of a
slow burner.
Fundamental elements: there are voice-over elements [from our lead
character.] Now I did get a bit lost as it relates to the time jumps or place
jumps or subtitles or any text on screen, because it is yellow and tiny, it was
and is very easy for someone like me with my reading difficulties to find it
hard work or at the very least difficult to pick up on and on a side note I
think now and again the text clashes with the scene it is a part of because I
kept losing it on screen or missing it [the only reason I know it was there is
because someone pointed it out to me.] There are cultural elements, mental
imagery [sometimes dreams] and this is just a small list of things you should
see in this project.
Performance: Daniel Radcliffe as Yossi Ghinsberg, when this
performer is on his own, this film feels much better as Radcliffe can and does
control the scenes around him with a strong stage presence which I have to say
Redcliffe looks comfortable and more than able to spend heavy amounts of this
project on his own putting in this very high quality performance.
This film receives: 6/10, even though I have just been
highlighting the biggest positive to this title, my figure is based on an
overview perspective and the more I think about it, the more I am comfortable
with this figure because the elements such as the small yellow text of any
description is just so off-putting
