Review of Delibal

Delibal (2015)
1/10
Unoriginal, cliché ridden, typical.
26 January 2016
The hot young boy with typical university student looks, the typically beautiful career driven young girl. The typical challenges that stand in their way, the grumpy father that doesn't approve, the friendly understanding mother. The overly exaggerated so-called "tragedy" that befalls them that's blown way out of proportion, and the conclusion we're being forced to believe is out of love but is actually just immature and hypocritical.

You know when you go to the toilet during the movie and worry if you've missed anything, well you can stay in the toilet for the entirety of the movie and 5 minutes will be more than enough for a friend to draw it all to you.

There can only be two explanations for the existence of this movie. The writer/director have never seen a single romance movie, or as a money maker towards a very naive young crowd that are still moved by romance that stems only from good looks.

Change the lead boy (I'm specifically using the word boy) to a less good looking one and the early romance can very rapidly be seen as creepy stalking and the entire premise of the movie will collapse.

A perfectly fair rating for this movie would be a 4, thanks to a good cinematography only, but I've given it a 1 to counter the suspiciously high rating it's at now.
