A slower, more contemplative (sometimes trippy) and less vehicle-racing Mad Max. I liked it. I was afraid it would be a waste of time because of the ratings, but it really wasn't, it's a good movie.

I loved this film, It speaks of mercy, forgiveness, and the ability to look deeper into a person, to understand their perspective...

Miami man and his group were ashamed that they must cannibalize to survive, hence the loud music and head phones when they took from their victims. But they did what they could to make things less painful, like the tourniquet and shot in arnels arm before amputation, probably numbing solution. Miami mans woman even said I'm sick of this **** sick of it. But in the desert, where I'm sure most wildlife/plant life has been killed off, what do you eat? How do you survive? You have to eat something, our life is a life of consumption in order for us to live something must die. Dogs eat rabbits, rabbits eat grass, grass lives off soil, soil is dead plant and animal matter. Everything comes full circle...

Miami man could have taken advantage sextually several times but didnt, infact he showed courage and killed someone to keep arnel safe, she didn't need her leg to find his daughter. Even showed compassion seen thru his art work and when he covered both of them in a sand storm. You can even see arnels confusion while they sat under the blanket he could have left her out there while he covered himself. She saw that yes he's done horrible things but morally he's more sound then the Dream, who was predatorizing young girls and feeding drugs to the rest of the villagers. All to keep them dependant under the guise that he loved them all for their strangeness, when he was using them all so he could live a soft life in comfort. Miami man showed her that life is not black or white it's grey. This film was about human nature at it's worst and at it's best seen thru Miami man.

I find this film beautiful in it's simplistic complexity and I think the reason most why people hate it is due to its simplicity. There is no plot, their is no love story, there is no guidance. As you get in every film they take your hand and lead down the path... this film is like the bible you see what you want to see and everyone sees it differently. It is meant to be vague for a reason… Expand

If you like post-apocalyptic but also slow moving art-house films...you will like this movie. (It reminded a little of Fall-Out meets Mad Max, with a much slower pace, and from a female directors perspective with a female protagonist.) IfIf you like post-apocalyptic but also slow moving art-house films...you will like this movie. (It reminded a little of Fall-Out meets Mad Max, with a much slower pace, and from a female directors perspective with a female protagonist.) If you like post apocalyptic films and expect a shoot-em up action film this is NOT the film for you as it is not Mad-Max in the sense of non stop action but more like the Mad Max where he is wondering around...and searching for something (also good.) It does have some action though and it does feel like a female version of a tarrantino film with interesting visuals and tension, similar to QT's style, but also its own unique version of that. I liked it a lot but it is slow at times, but worth seeing for anyone that can tolerate slower paced films, and especially...if you like that genre. Solid 8/10. Oh yes, it also is allegorical to our current issues in the country so that added a very interesting layer to it too which you often do not find in a tarrantino film which is sometimes just mindless action...this film meanders plot wise but also has something going on in the background and is like a slower, more thoughtful version of a QT film, and possibly equally good in its own way.… Expand

I signed up with Metacritic just to write a review of this film. Some people are calling the director, Ana Lilly Amirpour, the female Tarantino. I can see why: The Bad Batch is stylish, brutal, and has a thumping good musical score. But itI signed up with Metacritic just to write a review of this film. Some people are calling the director, Ana Lilly Amirpour, the female Tarantino. I can see why: The Bad Batch is stylish, brutal, and has a thumping good musical score. But it also has a humanity and, frankly, a complexity that Tarantino lacks. It’s appalling that this film gets only a 62 metacritic score. It’s one of the best films I’ve seen in years: original, dense with meaning, beautifully filmed. Yes, it recycles some Mad Max tropes and scenery, but to really interesting effect. Reviewers who claim the film lacks a coherent center or narrative arc are embarrassingly off-target. What starts out as a straight revenge story becomes increasingly layered, weird and challenging. It looks superficially like a genre film but is actually so much more. Don’t wait to see it on TV because it was definitely made for the big screen, both visually and musically. Just stunning.… Expand

I did not like "A girl..." [30] but I loved this one although I recognize that it is kind of "bizarre". But Momoa, oh my God, his "breasts". Keanu and Ribisi well, I love the second one but man, they are mere cameos. Jim Carrey and DiegoI did not like "A girl..." [30] but I loved this one although I recognize that it is kind of "bizarre".

I did not see those two in the film.… Expand

This a great movie from a lot of aspects, but it has just a few fault. Although those fault have enough weight to make the movie, a not very good one.

Although those fault have enough weight to make the movie, a not very good one. First it's pacing is very slow, and that can be enjoyed in the first one hour, but after it just get boring. And the other thing is the main plot. It's hard to understand so obviously it's not for everyone. But lacks a consistent conclusion, which for a lot of people will be frustrating. So these two thing keep back the movie, and even it's great cast directing style, and writing. Overall it's a good movie, with and interesting concept. If you are in a melancholy state of mind then it will be amazing.… Expand

Canibalismo, futuro distópico pós apocalíptico, sobrevivencialismo, escassez de recursos, um PUTA elenco, ocultismo e muito amor. Confiram a “rezenha” críticahttps://rezenhando.wordpress.com/2018/06/26/rezenha-critica-amores-canibais-2016/

Canibalismo, futuro distópico pós apocalíptico, sobrevivencialismo, escassez de recursos, um PUTA elenco, ocultismo e muito amor. Confiram a “rezenha” crítica de Amores Canibais.

Em um futuro onde a população é separada como mercadorias, estragadas ou não. Após a fronteira dos Estados Unidos não existem mais regras, pessoas lutam pela sobrevivência espalhadas por diversos grupos, sendo um deles de canibais e outros de seguidores de um falso profeta que se auto intitula Sonho.

Não se enganem com o frenético e tenso começo onde que Amores Canibais chega na voadora com os dois pés, da metade até o seu desfecho a obra opta por uma narrativa um pouco vagarosa mas ao meu ver bem desenvolvida, o que pode ludibriar os que pensam apenas na ação desenfreada, o filme tenta e consegue transmitir a mensagem sobre a distorção do que é certo e errado e esse constante dilema fica em nossa cabeça pelas quase duas horas de duração.

O filme conta com um bom desenvolvimento dos personagens centrais e com um apoio coadjuvante que se destaca ainda mais, principalmente o personagem do mendigo, que para mim mesmo sem proferir uma palavra diz muito e nada faz eu mudar a opinião de que seja um Jesus Cristo em meio ao caos.

Não precisamos saber o porque do mundo estar insano, separando quem presta e quem não presta ou porque algumas pessoas simplesmente decidem comer gente e exercitar-se como se estivessem em uma academia no meio do deserto. O que queremos é que aquela treta toda se resolva da melhor forma possível pra todos!

Iria assistir de novo? Sim.

Minha nota é 4/5.… Expand
