A Serious Man (2009)
Cringy & Overrated
Even though the production is done in high quality and the movie looks intriguing at the first sight, the story is not very interesting, the situations are awkward and uncomfortable to watch, and most of the actors are not pleasant to look at. Luckily the photography, scenography and color correction are done well so the visual appearance is not that bad.
After a very successful adaptation of the epic poem from classic antiquity, "Odyssey" into "Oh Brother where Art Thou", the Cohen brothers thought that they'll be able to present the part of their own culture, "The Book of Job", in the same way, but it turned out pretty cringy.
Stranger Things (2016)
An overrated compilation of nostalgic references
I found this tv show pretty overrated. The plot is kind of illogical but not in a subconscious, David Lynch kind of way. The actors are on the edge of been unpleasant to look at, many scenes are too dark to clearly see what's going on (and again, not in the way to let your imagination fulfil it but probably to hide bad costumography). The retro synths sound great and that's probably the main highlight but the sound is too dynamic - actors are sometimes mumbling something that I've couldn't understand while the other scenes are too loud and jumpy. The worst part are woke stereotypes that should break the traditional stereotypes: a black kid who doesn't feet the character and a female superhero who saves everything.
Midsommar (2019)
Ugly and boring propaganda
Another attempt to demonize prechristian European traditions and white people in genral. Beside that, too long too slow and without real story. Expected much more after Hereditary.
Scenes from the Class Struggle in Beverly Hills (1989)
Intriguing but disturbing
This type of movies played a big role on creating generations of deranged teenagers in the 90's. The absurdity of the plot is intriguing but it leads to the series of bizarre events which are mix of virtues and moral degradation. This subtile attempt of normalising degeneracy is far more effective than some explicit sexual content.
