The Platform

Algumas pessoas saíram por aí falando "viu, eu disse que cinema não era só super herói dando soco em vilão" se referindo à mensagem clara deste filme. O fato é que ele não é o único a fazer críticas, mas é o único que é literal o suficiente para uma porta entender. Tem até mesmo uma parte, no início do filme, que o personagem está ouvindo a explicação do personagem-roteirinho (morram, personagens-roteirinhos, morram todos. odeio vocês) e questiona do porquê não fracionarem a comida daquele lugar. Roteirinho olha para ele e pergunta: "Você é comunista?" NA MORAL. Nos primeiros 15 minutos já nos é explicado tudo do filme, sem abrir mesmo uma brecha para podermos pensar e interpretar por nós mesmos, e ainda colocam essa frase para ESCULACHAR do tipo "você não entendeu ainda o que eu quis dizer? vou deixar MAIS CLARO AINDA". Mas o que dizer de um diretor que, frente às dúvidas e diferentes interpretações do filme, explica o final nas redes sociais. NÃO-SE-EXPLICA-FINAL-DE-FILME. NÃO-SE-EXPLICA-ARTE. Mas o filme é muito bom. Entrega tudo, mana. Nota quase 10 pro cê 🥰🥰

This movie resonated with me in a way few movies does. The camera work and music, combined with a twisted plot makes this a movie a unique experience!

Full of mystery and intrigue that doesn't get resolved, seems to be making a point about humanity but it's so broad it doesn't mean much (if only everyone cared more about each other!), has one of the most unsatisfying endings I've ever seen. Feels like a massive missed opportunity. Watch if you like being disappointed.

It has intriguing concept but with confusing ending.

Super. Made me think a lot about social equality

Such an interesting idea, "who chooses a book here?" (when confronting life) Don Quijote of neoliberalism

Had so much potential. Ending sucked.

Captivating narrative

Simultaneously fascinating, disgusting, frightening and overblown, this Spanish social science fiction horror film is yet another example of how European cinema is generally much more provocative and daring than North America. There are scenes and themes portrayed here that I can't imagine being done in the states - probably for fear of losing a few almighty dollars. But back to the film at hand, be forewarned if you have a weak constitution or are easily disgusted, you may want to give this a pass. At its core, it is basically a quite telling if occasionally heavy-handed commentary on the current social and economic class system. It's a very original concept, and I must admit that I had no idea where they were going to go with the subject matter. It does tend to go a bit overboard with the sermonizing, and I have to admit that I haven't a clue what they were trying to do with the ending. Overall, though, its originality and daring more than compensate for the moments of pretension and lack of subtlety. And let me stress one more time - there's not a LOT of gory parts here, but what we do get is rather disturbing.

🍅 8.3/10 This is very interesting to put it light and I really appreciate it for a dark brutal but also super intriguing story that makes you strangely hungry. Grade A-
