Concept and conceptualization, it depends on your points of view and everything that you're expecting and also what you look for as an spectator. Perhaps it will not inflict anything on you, perhaps it won't affect anything in you and honestly I'm quite sure that that it isn't what this movie is looking for, it's rather the idealization of its own artistic and dramatic offer.

This film is obviously a manifesto and a testimony of Cate Blanchett's gigantic talent to show to what extent she can transform herself and to watch that, well, it's a great delight.… Expand

An intriguing, thought-provoking movie. Some may find it pretentious, but I had a really interesting discussion with a friend after we left the theater, which rarely happens.

Manifesto

The monologues are horrifyingly beautiful that is apt for the pragmatic characters projected in this self-created malleable mythology. The writing is sharp and one of the strength of the features that doesn't waste time on attempting to connect with the viewers and instead offers them enough homework to keep them engaged and make them work for it which then inherently raises the question whether it is worth to suffer for art to this extent or not; unfortunately the definite point it makes isn't something unfamiliar and a bit redundant. On terms of craft, there is a lot to explore in here, and the primary reason would be the tone of the feature which resembles with a fine theatrical poetic act. Julian Rosefeldt; the writer-director, fails to match its witty script with execution and even with its editing that could have been a lot better. On terms of performance, it is all left to Cate Blanchett who is a revelation in here as she is her A game and doing some of her best work. The technical aspects like make-up design is plausible but the background score and costume design could have been a lot better. Manifesto is a pretentious thought-provoking policy that may have its heart in the right place but could have been supervised better.… Expand
