Madame Bovary (2014)
Nothing to do with the real Madame Bovary
I'm very broadminded, but the name of the movie is misleading. This is not the story Flaubert has told us. The actress is definitely not Madame Bovary, nor the actor that plays the role of her husband resembles a bit of who we know by Charles.
It's a pity, especially if you see what movies are capable of doing. See Lolita and its 1997 movie version: it looks like a love story between the movie and the book. Here there's no love left.
The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)
Terrible or worse
Nothing to do with the original story. It tells about 5 or 10 percent of the real plot of the book. No deepness, no mystery, even no action.
Poor, poor, poor.
The book experience is worth 100 of these movies.
The Color of Time (2012)
I'd say, don't watch it.
A boring movie that the creators thought would be cool, just because of the cool actors. The movie sounds like and endless poem, which many times repeats itself. There's basically no story, everything moves extremely slowly and the music makes it sad for no apparent reason. Of course it's one of those movies, many people would say it's artistic, therefore you should watch it. I'd say, don't watch it.
Maggie's Plan (2015)
Ludicrous (as it is so empty)
There's nothing at all in it. It looks like a children fairy tail with poor characters. The story is predictable, the screenplay is boring, the way actors play is mediocre, the characterization is ridicule. I decided to go see this movie as I've read good reviews on cinema websites and I couldn't help but notice these days people don't really evaluate movies for what they are. In this case, a waste of time and money. As Julianne Moore can still be saved (still, why do good actors accept such poor screenplays?), the movie itself is a low-concentrate of fine sentiments, romantic narrative and some (few) absurd situations which should be funny but they actually aren't. It can easily enter the top 3 worst movies of the year.
