Euphoria

Euphoria would have been okay as a short story or a Czech TV movie. But as a star-studded international feature film? It’s too uninteresting and simple for festivals and film clubs and completely unusable for multiplexes. (21/03/2018)

Too western. Don’t read this, if you don’t want to spoil the movie. A film pretending to be a decent drama, but in reality it is so fake it’s not even nice to look at. While in the western world they book a beautiful resort for the last week of their lives with entrance like from the Hobbiton and Eva Green had to sell an apartment to pay for it, in our country and in the east they would just sit on a bench with a view of a valley, which by the way may be even nicer than any scenery in this film… And just wait until their time comes. I just wonder how Alicia Vikander, Eva Green and Charles Dance ended up in this movie. I like them and I would love to see them in better movies. (16/07/2018)

About the heaviest topics in a way that thoroughly explores every corner of the adult soul. And yet it does so in a meandering way and often veers away from the toughest choices or moments, idealizing them or reaching them through contradictory supporting characters. The complex and ambitious effort thus falls short, despite the best efforts of Alicia Vikander and Eva Green to overcome it. (27/05/2019)
