Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

thalianikiforou One step close to a masterpiece. Brilliant, disturbing, fascinating, multi layered, brain orgasmic, harsh intellectual and at the same time a suspense and agony adventure film, that will blow your heart out. I saw it in Vilnius Film Festival and the whole audience was so passionate in the end, we did not let the director to go out of the room. As one said, this is a film that has to be seen more than once and you have to digest it first in order to speak about it. The film is a haunting virus, it controls your thoughts days after and you are forced to reconsider it again and again.I was left speechless. This film peels questions about the modern spectacle and humanity as a passive mass of peeping toms. It challenges us to think outside the box, outside the cube that is on the stage of the film. Life is a play and we are all part of it we are all guilty and we need the catharsis. There are some wonderful moments, including an awkwardly brilliant dance sequence in the end and the guy going to the toilet when everything around him just gets into chaos.Its raw and provocative, stylish and fearless, thought-provoking and unconventional,dedicated to split the public and find its place in the history of the cinema. Original and a stunning parable of life.The film has many unanswered questions and is open to so different interpretations. The director is to be applauded for being able to genuinely transform theater into cinema. This film still seems to have slipped under the radar of many people, its without question the find of this year for me.Interruption takes us into this world of inverted logic, wicked parts, and our search for identity. It leads us to a place where you can not distinguish truth and lie. Just like life! You can not miss it.

charles turner Before we went in I said to my wife that this will either be very good or very bad. It was very bad. The conceit is not necessarily a bad idea but the whole thing is executed in such ponderous way that it becomes pointless. Then problem is that Greek tragedy is its own justification, so even a modern dress variation is asking for trouble. but this wanted to go much further and ended up not going anywhere at all. We lasted 45 minutes before walking out but how we managed that much is beyond me. The script was about as leaden as a script could be, and the directing ponderous. The acting was not bad, but the problem, was that this meant that we were treated to a realistic depiction of ordinary people's not very extraordinary thoughts. Hopeless.

Ashwin Hegde The last movie I saw at the Mumbai Film Fest and for sometime it looked like I would be going out on a high. The movie grips from the beginning, with a modern dramatized interpretation of an ancient Greek myth setting the stage for a takeover by a shadowy group of armed men and women, their mesmerizing leader thrusting himself as the chief orchestrator of events. The play audience is pulled in to the performance, not realizing that the bizarre turn of events was not part of the programmed script. The tension builds up, and you are hoping that the director can pull of a grand denouement. The entire movie theatre was gripped - even in the quiet parts there was no restless stirring or chatter. But in the end it doesn't so much fall flat as just fizzle out. We were left puzzled - who were the hostage takers, what were their motives, what did they hope to achieve by hijacking the play and its audience, was there a personal connection/antagonism with any of the cast members ... It was like the director had a stylish premise, a unique plot device that he hoped to build a movie around, but didn't have the story to back it up. At the end, the tepid applause from a festival audience that gives even mediocre movies a good clap told it all. It was a feeling of deflation, of being let down after a stirring build up, of making a bad choice when what was playing in the next auditorium was possibly the better movie.

Gus Keane Interruption is about our society and our behavioral patterns as a species. It's about what is really happening. This film demonstrates a universal problem. We are all trapped. It is a film that raises all sorts of questions about the individual and the way he is forced to play a part in and it encapsulates these questions into a deceptively ancient tragedy plot. This film talks about the myths and lies we are told to maintain status quo and the appearance of stability and normality. It forces you to question the oddness and the parameters of your own existence. A life with roles unquestioned and unexplored leads to a stagnant swamp of disorientation. I can get if someone rejects it and does not get into this no mans world, it's not the most easy movie to watch, but I haven't been this pleasantly surprised in a long time. Saw this in the premiere and I believe most of the people there were absorbed by the screen and didn't want to see the film end. Intellectual, emotional, cruel, realistic and beautiful would be the words I would use to describe this picture. At first you don't really understand what's going on or where you're at, but soon find yourself submerged in this theater scene. This is definitely one of the most important indie films of the year; aside from the original and highly meaningful leveled story, the film if impeccably made with astounding performances. The lights in Venice turned on, the credits were running and everyone was quiet and searching for answers in others looks. Its best surprise that I've got in years. It is a hypnotic trip that displays brilliant originality and borderlines pure insanity. In my humble opinion, it is a film that should be watched by every single person, for the experience alone. Sadly, I'm almost certain that this film will never find a wide release, so, please do seek it out!!!
