Review of Mute

Mute (II) (2018)
7/10
A visual masterpiece wasted by what seems was written by a 5th grader.
27 February 2018
This is one of the most visually outstanding films I've seen in a while - especially being a non-Hollywood production.

The futuristic sets - even down to the detail, were amazing. It's a shame this film failed miserably with a screenplay that seemed written by a 5th grader. After ridiculous red herrings, pointless side-plots and inconsistent characters you just give up.

This film was way too long and needed to be cut down to a max of 90 mins and also needed proper editing. Directing and was decent and the acting and score were on point.

The best way to enjoy this film is muted (no pun intended) as a background screensaver whilst you are blasting your favorite playlist. It's eye candy and that's it.

A shame such an amazing production was dumbed down with so may plot issues from what felt like amateur writing.

A generous 7/10 mainly for the visuals. Had the writing been tighter, this could have easily been a 9/10.
