Review of Newness

Newness (2017)
5/10
Unremarkable, Forgettable, and Too Long
2 December 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Let's begin by saying that this was way too long. Why does anyone need this much time to tell so little story? Answer: they don't and this was a huge bore that wasn't resuscitated by the sex scenes. Sex scenes are mostly boring in movies these days and completely superfluous when we are one mouse click away from explicit sexual fantasies that most of us couldn't even think up on a dare.

Almost every shot in the movie was a close up, like a short person trying to film something in a crowd. I felt claustrophobic most of the time. The rest of the time I wanted to push away the characters for invading my personal space. I'd guess that about 70% of the shots didn't even include an entire head. If that is style then count me out.
