Drive My Car Reviews

SO BORING. Literally nothing interesting happens in this movie. Maybe I’m not cool enough to understand but I didn’t like it

filme do japonês corno. três horas dele passeando de carro e levando gaia

Dont understand what there saying different language

Too slow. I tried to stay with it but the movie with the subtitles was putting me to sleep. I’ll try again but there are so many good movies out there!

“My hardships might even be greater than yours but I don't give in to despair.”

Without a doubt the most inconsistent movie I’ve ever watched, the score, cinematography and acting were incredible, but the first 2 acts are so fucking boring, as Drive My Car delivers with a visual feast and a stunning soundtrack, yet has such slow character moments that it’s borderline ling GET ON WITH IT.

1st Act 6.6/10 (On one hand he’s grieving, on the other it’s pissing me off.)

2nd Act 6/10 (I DONE WANT TO WATCH THIS THEATRE PLEASE GO BACK TO DRIVING.)

3rd Act 9.8/10 (The last 50 minutes are actually really fucking good, it’s just a shame it’s trapped behind 2 HOURS OF FUCKING FILLER.)

Plot 5/10 (Uninteresting main plot of the theatre show and a very interesting side plot which is only barely utilised near the end.)

Soundtrack/Score 9.4/10 (Genuinely amazing, it made some eh scenes so much better.)

Acting 9.4/10 (Acting is phenomenal, just wished the script was better at times.)

Pacing 3/10 (Felt like it was slow-burning the way the Sun slow burns my fucking back.)

Cinematography 9.6/10 (An absolute feast that has the best use of colour I’ve seen since La La Land, if Your Name. ever got a live action remake, this is the colour I want.)

Character Development 9.4/10 (Both frustrating and amazing, the whole first act he just pissed me off, the last act I felt genuinely so fucking bad, not because of character development in the redemption way, but the realise kind.)

Writing 9.3/10 (The script is amazing at times, sometimes it’s just meh.)

Ending 9.5/10 (Makes the movie so much more worth it, will I still revisit? Not for a long long time.)

Direction 8/10 (Decent but he’s like Asian Bela Tarr, just without the grey sadness.)

Overall
95/120
7.5/10

Very pretty looking movie as expected.

The main theme of communication is interpreted very interestingly here. The scene with Tatatsuki and Kafuku in the back of the car was very moving and i find it to be true.

A 3 hour adaptation of a 40 page short story is pretty crazy, but there is so much flesh added to these characters. Although it felt long, it didn’t feel like anything was out of place.

Genuinely peak

an exceptionally crafted and meditative film on theater, art, family, and life. rewards your patience with a sweeping and moving narrative that combines wonderful acting, writing, and visuals. simple on the surface with an extraordinary amount of depth, well worth the ride

Broke me down

I knew it’s gonna be bad when there are 2-3 sex scenes in just 15 minutes

"it'll be okay. i'm sure we'll be okay."

daora mas chega de adorno

One of the most beautiful i’ve recently had the pleasure to watch. It’s calm but intense in so many ways.

nice movie

Love all the languages, intertextuality, minimalism which makes everything more specific, and the colors are wonderful.

Loved this Slow-paced story within a story

a survival story of horrible reality

I fell asleep towards the end.. pretty boring throughout, and too long!

6.6- I didn’t finish it, but I do love the cinematography of this films. The plots were lovely told and the performance was great too. It was slow-burn storyline nonetheless it is great films but didn’t hold my attention.

This is more of a lowkey movie and I really enjoyed it for the most part. Though I will say, this movie was not super emotional to me and that’s mainly because I did not relate heavily to the main characters. I think if I did relate to them more, then I would feel more emotional.
