The Fare

This is an interesting story. It is well constructed so even if it starts to feel tedious, it doesn't feel that way long. The actors did a great job and I'm glad I decided to take a chance on it. I say check it out.

Many films have explored time loops travel and romance but this well written and intriguing story crafts the topics in a brilliant delivery. The editing and visual effects are very relatable. Worth the watch

Dumb i regretted watching this and I finally was able to understand what happened all the way at the end of the film. the beginning is literally about them talking for least an hour or more.

Like a dish made from highest quality ingredients that end up tasting like nothing after being cooked, this movie fails to materialize... as a movie. Fantastic atmosphere, great actors, the idea, cinematography, everything is great... and yet, it's almost unwatchable. There's a lot of tedious grind about the way the movie progresses, and you can guess what will be happening for the next 5-10 minutes for a good half of the movie. Then it tries to introduce some story but does it in an awkward, confusing, disjointed way, and then simply jumps to an ending trying to tie everything together and explain itself but this way it turns a mystery into some absurdity and ultimately falls flat on its face.

Good watch, would watch again, and can recommend. It always fascinates me when you can get a whole movie out of basically a single setting. And this is quite the interesting premise. It's also impossible to talk about without spoiling. Give it a watch: If you like mysteries or time travel then give this a shot.

Tha name of the cab driver is "Harris". Replace "i" with "o" & it becomes "Harros". This is the greek name for Charon the ferryman. When his ID is given to Penny, you can spot also his surname which looks like "Charon". The water that Harris drinks is from Lethe (one of the the underworld rivers) & it makes you forget everything. Then we have Penny for Persephone, the spouse of Hades (God of Underworld). In the movie Penny is married to Death. According to mythology Persephone does not leave Hades & goes "up" for just some minutes per year, but for a much longer period. So, partly based in greek mythology, we have here a sheer Fantasy/Romance story that Persephone falls in love with Charon. My opinion: It is a good try. Not bad, but I will never sit to watch that again some time in the future.

When I read Anton Bitel's brilliantly dissecting review of The Fare, I wondered if a modest budget indie could live up to to such an Accolade. Happily it did, and then some. Like Bitel I found myself drawing comparisons to Hitchcock and Rod Serling. This film starts fast and build suspense from the outset. It's hard to say more without spoiling the story. Suffice it to say that just when you thought every love story plot had been used, along comes The Fare.

Are these reviews real? This was like an ok student film, a lot of cliches. Interminable music, montages that are twice as long as they need to be. The ending is abrupt, basically a big reveal that it's a retelling of Greek mythology (again, student film). Pacing is uneven and weird. So much droning music. Like a Hallmark version of a Twilight Zone episode.
