My ideas as an unprofessional film critic. Thoughts on actors, directors, content, and cinema in general. Everything from 1940's black and white to the box office hits of today.

Mouth to Mouth
Close your eyes and picture the perfect world.
A progressively interesting drama teeing on the aspects of occult properties. I film which I would only recommend to those who can identify or perceive the minds weaknesses for physical, chemical, and mental interruptions.
A group of severely damaged kids all piling into one car following one man who claims to have the key to a better life for them? Of course one by one people will begin to follow you. A hope for a better life, amongst those who understand them the most? Who wouldn't want that?
In truth, he did have a good way to get addicts off of meth. Something which was key to the S.P.A.R.K. way of life. They fixed addicts, gave them a new start, what's not to like? Well, the part where he traps you in his spanish villa - and makes you pick an entire vineyard full of grapes to make his own wine. While of course you keep a strict set of rules, no smoking, drinking, drugs, sex, or conspiring - rules which your leader is exempt from, but can punish you for.
Two days in a dried well? What's not to like.
The hard part is, there are those who think he's doing the right. That: "if we all follow his rules, things will be good for everyone." Instead of: "This guy's insane." He let people die, raped a girl or two, punished those who broke his rules even though he broke the rules with them.
The movie is a constant struggle for several characters, some who try to make themselves see the good - forcing themselves to like it. Some staying to look out for others. Others constantly upset with how things are run. In the end, who chooses to leave? Who is strong enough?
