Review of 110% Honest

110% Honest (2019)
6/10
So much potential

Warning: Spoilers
I thought the start of the movie was really good. Very interesting and realistic about a former cyclist who has been caught taking drugs. She doesn't really regret it, since everyone else was cheating as well (which was actually true), and says she would have done the same all over again. Everyone distances themselves from her, including her husband, even if he was already fully aware of what was going on (and we feel that many of the other characters also knew, just pretended not to).

The movie slowly starts losing direction though. The introduction of the elephant (brilliantly voiced by Frøydis Armand in her last movie) was weird, and when the UFO appeared at the end of the movie it was a bit too much WTF.

The storylines of her and Marie Louise as well as her and Grete were both interesting and should have been developed more.

We also understand her father has Alzheimer or something similar, but again, they could have done so much more on this topic.

Maybe it was a bit unrealistic to see how popular she became after making the "110% Honest" short movie, but it's OK.

Acting overall is good. Nader Khademi is entertaining, as usual. There were some funny moments, but still wouldn't call it a comedy. Not a bad movie, but could have been so much better, the subject was very interesting.

6/10.
