El ángel exterminador, 1962. Upper class dinner guests are unable to leave a room, for no apparent reason. Written & directed by Luis Buñuel.
Concept: 3/4 (Good)
Story: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Characters: 1/4 (Bad)
Dialog: 3/4 (Good)
Pacing: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Cinematography: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Acting: 3/4 (Good)
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Subjective Rating: 4/10 (Eh, 2/4). It was okay for the most part, up until the very end. There's a cheap gag of a coda that's frustratingly stupid and obvious. It might have been a good movie if the characters had any depth whatsoever. But that would require admitting that people are human, which is a point of view I suspect (based on this one movie) is beyond Buñuel.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.2/4 (Okay)
