Review of Osmosis

Osmosis (2019)
4/10
Forgets about the viewer......
10 June 2019
Osmosis spends so much time trying to be abstractly clever, it forgets to engage with the viewer. Its like a visit to one of those modern art galleries a snooty friend drags you along to. Sounds alright until you realize its attempts to be daring and cutting edge, amount to shallow pretension marketed as art.

In my view a similar, if not quiet so harsh conclusion, could be reached about this series. There is far far too much time spent on visual imagery, abstract thoughts and emotions. It wants to be engaging, the problem is it never steps far beyond its own surreal world view, to offer anything meaningful to the viewer.

The result is a series I found impossible to watch for any length of time. The acting is fine and the visuals well rendered but its lack of a real story with body to go along with its soul simply leaves you wanting anything to fill the abstract void it ends up representing.

4/10 from me.
