Re: New Title Information Page - Sponsor Testing

I found the old version much more pleasing, as I had all the pieces of the puzzle gathered together in one place, so I could take in the entire scene at once. For example: each review/TCI takes up too much and unnecessary space. In the old version, you could get an overview of users' ratings by jus...

Re: New Title Information Page - Sponsor Testing

it was really great being able to easily scroll through dozens of reviews on a film’s page without having to do any clicking to load up more - seeing only ten on the updated page is definitely too few in my opinion. Reviews are the main attraction for me on the site. For the record, I love the “dat...

Re: New Title Information Page - Sponsor Testing

6. Near the top of the Overview page, there is some initial cast and crew information, but it only includes one director: why not give the same amount of space for directors as for actors, that is, one line’s worth of space, so that a film with, say, two directors can have both listed at the top of...

Re: New Title Information Page - Sponsor Testing

Here is my perspective. First, there are definitely some aspects of the new version that improve on the old version. 1. The way that Ratings & Reviews shows the number of All Reviews, With Reviews, and Just Kumpels, respectively, is nice, and the way one clicks on these options and can sort them is ...

The Alpinist (2021)

One of the interviewees in this documentary states that about half of the top figures who have participated in the kind of activity depicted here have been killed by doing so: there are obviously a variety of perspectives one might have about this, given that, for instance, one might well say (as th...

Gone to Earth (1950)

A young gypsywoman of limited means and education but possessing a pantheistic sense of the connectedness of all living things (well, animals mainly) and an unrepressed relationship to her own desire finds herself caught between the safety of a chaste and reserved man of faith, who has a difficult r...

Happiness (1965)

A very successful invitation to reflect, where the ambiguous and mysterious character of what we are shown, through a set of radiantly colourful Rorschach images, develops an uncanny capacity to delight, to disturb, or to enrage, depending on one’s point of view and interpretation. At its heart, it ...

Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975)

Across a three-day period, a widow takes care of her son and attends to all kinds of “female duties”, but, very gradually, and despite the static camera, things start to fall apart. Perhaps I’m wrong, but I have the impression that responses to this film largely see it as being about the tedium and ...
