Andy K (10823 KP) rated Brain on Fire (2016) in Movies

Jul 5, 2018 (Updated Jul 5, 2018)

Not very deep

This Netflix movie about a young woman who comes down with a mysterious brain disease was all right for me, but lacked much depth or details of the story. Her relationship with her boyfriend, divorced parents and her employer all become strained when her behavior starts to change.

It's not the story, which is of course compelling, I had a problem with. It was the screenplay which lacked any real depth and some of the acting. The actor playing her father, boyfriend, father and Tyler Perry as her boss I thought overacted and were not believable.

If I wanted to find out any details about the complexity of her illness, there weren't many to be found in this 88 minute film.

Do yourself a favor and watch Awakenings, Lorenzo's Oil or Something the Lord Made instead of this film.

So after months of hype does this all star blockbuster live up to the hype...well yes it does.

It's been many years since we have had a great gangster epic and the master of those films finally brings one that will be enjoyed for many years to come.Unlike his other epics this film focuses more on the relationship between the main protagonist frank sheeran and his boss jimmy Joffa.The violence is not as extreme as you would find in goodfellas or casino.

The only tiny criticism I have was the de-aging process used on some of the actors,the faces seemed a little animated and fake.

De Niro was incredible and has to be a strong favourite for the best actor oscar,pacino and pesci were brilliant as well and could get a supporting actor oscar nomination.
