فأرة الباب

This movie was quite simply horrible. It took everything I had to watch it all the way through. This acting is miserable. The writing is just as moronic as you might imagine. And the directing? What directing? It's amateurish at best. And the fact that this is getting good review is not missed on me. More fake posts from people who must have worked on the film. There is no way anyone who watches this can give it an 8, 9, or 10 unless it's a reverse rating and they meant to mean 3, 2, or 1. It's a very, very, very low budget movie that substitutes pretensious scenes and dialog in the place of talent. Don't bother. It stinks.

A gritty, forboading, and brilliantly cerebral examination of morals and their pricetags/paychecks. Delicately orchestrated acting, cinematography, and score centers the capitalism of character beautifully. There are so many impossibly thoughtful details that I would need to write a huge paper to discuss them all and their many nuances. So I'll just say that I am beyond excited for the future of this creator as he continues to find his voice. One day, just by the style, everyone is going to be able to pick his stories out of the crowd in a blink. There is no doubt, whatsoever. To Avan, if he's reading these: Don't stop. Hold fast. Your audience will find you.

Or color it ... color me interested? Well whatever is more fitting - and of course no pun intended. The movie has a few known faces thrown at you, but I did not know the main actress from this. She does more than a solid job though. While someone like Famke may be the draw for you ... you'll stay for the main course. Of course you have to dig the story about someone seemingly small ... taking over big. I reckon the title is a pun too? Visually this is a treat and I reckon even with the small budget this had, they made the most of it. I was surprised to learn that the Barbie movie that came out a few days ago had a 100 plus Million budget ... but this is the exception I assume ... and a movie with a tenth of that budget (or less), shows us that having some interesting and good ideas goes a long way ... no pun intended.

Thank you! Yes YOU ALL! In a time where we see people all accross the world from Hong Kong to India, to Greece, Syria and so many more GETTING CRUSHED by their elite! For me this movie is "Eye wide shot" viewed by the no-voice! And one thing is sure: Their voice was loud the script is a masterpiece! Not the compliance in victimhood so caracteristic of the 2020's. Not even a superhero movie even tho it would have been easy to fall in stereotype... no! For me everything in this movie could have fall off; AND, actors were on, rythm was good and talking about breaking the 4th wall! Its like if "Truman Show"'s guy meet "Mr Nobody" and find the girls of "Martyrs(2008)"! A must!

Avan Jogia does an all around phenomenal job with Door Mouse. The film starts out the gate with stunning visuals and a killer soundtrack (with both only getting better as the film goes on). The beautiful color grading and well-timed graphic novel components combine to create a world that's so familiar, yet just out of reach. Hayley Law as Mouse perfectly captures the essence of how deeply jaded yet fiercely passionate so many teens and young adults feel today. Apathy masking how suffocating it really is to move within never ending systems of oppression. The film allows space for people of color, especially women, to reclaim their agency outside the lens of "otherness." Nhi Do as Doe Eyes does this particularly well. Her presence haunts you with every appearance and drives the story to its satisfying end. Keith Powers was a delight as Ugly. He manages to bring such levity and authenticity to his scenes with only the slightest of expressions. (The part where we learn his government name was one of my favorites - superb comedic timing) Power, privilege, and race dynamics are captured in the way that they are simply how our world exists. Accordingly, the dialogue delves into inequity with such casual depth and it's refreshing to see how that can be done so matter of fact without overstating rote talking points. Door Mouse doesn't try to be more than it is - a wonderfully gritty, nostalgic noir that just happens to have an incredibly diverse cast - and in doing so, demonstrates how impactful and captivating telling familiar stories from different lenses can be. I laughed, I cried, I raged at how cruel the world can be, and ultimately left empowered that there are still ways to make sense of it all.
