Time magazine's Amy Nicholson criticized mercilessly. Even Renly's performance failed to make her change her mind. In the end, she gave her a "1.5/4" score, out of four Among the grading criteria, only 1.5 points were given. It is slightly better than "Village Voice", but it is still a drop in the bucket, and there is not much difference at all.

First "Time Magazine", then "Village Voice", in addition to this, there are a lot of critical voices.

Entertainment Weekly's film critic Lisa Schwartzbaum has never liked Renly. I don't know if it's an illusion, because of the Cornell-McGregor relationship, it seems that the entire "Entertainment Weekly" is full of hostility to Renly; at least it is certain that in Renly's previous works, Lisa It's hard to give a good review, and at most it's just a weaker criticism. This time, she has seized such a rare opportunity, how could she miss it?

"The ending was a classic anti-climax, and just when everyone in the audience thought things couldn't get any worse, Tony Kaye delivered a powerful counterattack: The film is far from rock bottom."

Full of ridicule, full of firepower, without a single dirty word, but it has already scolded "detachment" to the bone.

"The theme of the whole film is vague, the first half is a 'Dead Poets Society' story, the middle is a 'Away from Las Vegas' story, and the second half is a 'Lolita' story. , Tony Kaye's film about a suburban high school tells the little troubles of a lovely teacher and the story of the girl who falls in love with him.

Renly Hall is undeniably endearing, and the shape and face in this work have reached the pinnacle of charm. Girls who like 'Twilight' should love this work. "

Laughing and scolding, sarcastic, sarcastic, Lisa attacked "detachment" in all directions, and finally ended with a "0.5/4" rating, completely nailing this work to the pillar of shame , which also became the lowest rating of Renly's career. It can be seen that Lisa is very satisfied with her film review.

As an art film festival, Berlin always adheres to the principle of openness to all criticism and praise. The nature of art needs to be discussed, shared, and criticized. Only in this way can the process of "creation" continue to inspire inspiration. Eliminate those voices of opposition and leave only those voices of praise, then you can only stay where you are forever.

Therefore, after the premiere of "Transcendence", various comments can be seen on the official magazine, which can almost be said to be shocking.

'Rolling Stone', '1.5/4', ''Transcendence' stabs a coffin nail into the Bible in an amateurish and crude way, but the entire film's discussion is so empty, so void, so It's so boring that you don't feel any pain."

"USA Today", "2/4", "This film has unparalleled power, and Renly Hall's performance brings a soul-baptizing shock, once again establishing the position of the new generation of acting leader, Nata Leigh Portman should feel threatened; at the same time, the film is immersed in an emptiness that cannot be ignored or resisted, like standing in the ruins of a dollar store, not even knowing what to save, or whether Is it worth saving?"

"Variety", "1.8/4", "Tony Kaye's bold attempt is undoubtedly admirable, he tapped more potential of Renly Hall, and once again showed people the strength of top acting skills, among which At least three scenes are at the top actor level, and each of the remaining scenes is definitely at the nomination level; however, beyond that, Kaye lost control over the advancement and development of the story and lacked emotional bonds. , all the muttering has become so empty and feeble, and all the monologues seem to lack direction and become castles in the air."

Although it is said that the author's films are always controversial, after 30 or 40 years of precipitation, many films are still mixed, and the extreme emotions of liking and disgust are still clear; however, the "detachment" endures The criticism is unimaginable, especially since the major authoritative media have given super-low ratings and malicious words, and almost overnight, "detachment" has been pushed into an abyss that cannot be turned over.

In a trance, the frenzy of audience applause and questioning at the premiere never seemed to happen. However, this is precisely one of the charms of the Berlin Film Festival. The bigger the controversy, the more discussion, and the fiercer the confrontation, which is a symptom of the movie's popularity.

Those lackluster films, no one wants to discuss; those films that are full of acclaim, all signs are that they are going to win awards, but are left out in the cold, and often ultimately fail to reach the top; those films with a slanted sword and a unique style, praise and criticism Qi Fei, however, can most arouse the enthusiasm of movie lovers.

Everyone is eager to watch such a movie, interpret and understand it from their own perspective, and then exchange opinions with other people, even if they quarrel to the point of blushing. Debate, confrontation, game, collision of ideas, this is the joy of art.

"Time", "Village Voice", "Entertainment Weekly", "Rolling Stone", "USA Today", "Variety", a total of six media, after the premiere of "Transcendence", gave negative reviews; but in this In addition, there are nine other media. After watching the film, they all responded with positive reviews, unanimously agreeing that this is undoubtedly one of the best works in Berlin this year.

"Silver Screen" is an authoritative professional film magazine from the United Kingdom. Its status in Europe is comparable to that of "Variety" and "The Hollywood Reporter" in the United States, and it is only high.

this magazine

Every year, they cooperate with the three major film festivals in Europe to launch official magazines. In the magazines, first of all, they will invite six to nine professional film critics-these film critics are also officially recognized by the film festival, and they will rate the film and comment on the film. Second, they will invite their own professional film critics and other professional film critics in Europe to write film reviews for the works on the film festival.

Of course, in addition to the official magazine of "Screen", other magazines will also publish their own corresponding scoring statistics, but they have not been officially recognized by the film festival, and their authority and circulation are not enough.

Always remain objective, authoritative, professional, artistic, these are the elements of the success of the "Silver" magazine.

In addition, there is another important reason. The "screen" pays attention to all the dynamics of the film industry. Art works and commercial works are no exception, but relatively speaking, art works are their top priority, and Hollywood works have received attention. The degree is slightly inferior, not even comparable to the artistic creation of small and remote countries such as the Middle East or Western Europe.

Immediately, "Silver Screen" released a film review and praised it, which also set the overall tone for the "detachment" controversy.

"This is perhaps the best work on education since Francois-Truffaut's 1966 'Fahrenheit 451'."

François Truffaut, one of the greatest French directors, is famous for his second work in his career, "The Four Hundred Blows". Screen magazine measures "detachment" at "451 degrees Fahrenheit," which is a great analogy in itself.

"Trüffaut shows the importance of reading in a realistic and poetic way, which will become the torch of historical progress and social change, and illuminate the piety of human society; while Kaye discusses the importance of education from a contrarian perspective. Apart from survival, wealth, fame and status, education bestows the most precious thing on human beings: ideas.

The thought of choosing freedom, the thought of chasing dreams, the thought of living comfortably, the thought of creating wealth, the thought of self-fulfillment. Education gives everyone the right to choose.

But in contemporary society, people ignore the core of 'idea' and reduce education to a stepping stone to wealth and fame. This is the regression of society and the tragedy of history. "

Anthony Lane, a senior film critic of "Screen" magazine, pointed out Tony Kaye's creative intentions and core ideas sharply, and then further commented on the director and the actors.

"Kaye chose an almost documentary filming method, as well as an almost neurotic camera perspective, distorted and contradictory expression methods, showing the inner struggle and emptiness of each character; film-quality film images and jerky and simple student actors, further It confuses the boundary between reality and film, and records the fragments of life in a semi-real way, showing a state of confusion and difficulty.

This is the state of reality, this is the state of education, and this is the state of life. Any audience, after watching this film, feels emptiness, chaos and daze, even disgust and disgust, and even stings the psychology of a certain part of the education-related people, then Kaye's goal has been achieved. "

It can be seen that Anthony not only expressed his support for Tony, but also secretly satirized those who opposed critics, killing two birds with one stone. As the official film critic of "The Screen", Anthony's attitude is really intriguing, what's more, this is not the end.

"Apart from the director, young actor Renly Hall gave the best performance of his career - not so long ago, he starred in 'Crazy Love' and still managed to impress everyone in the audience.

Beneath Kaye's raw, raw footage, Hall strips away all the polish and sculpting, and returns to the most basic of performance: emotion. All the performances are so simple, yet so subtle, the dramatic tension between gestures breaks the blockade of the dimensional wall, and elevates the director's intention and the core of the script to a whole new level, and at the end, there is nothing to be seen. trace. Such a performance is reminiscent of Helen Mirren in the 'Queen'.

But here's the problem, Hall is only twenty-two years old.

Choose one reason to watch this movie, Renly-Hall; choose two reasons, Renly-Hall, Renly-Hall; three reasons, Renly-Hall, Renly-Hall, Tony- Kaye. "

The praise of the "Screen" magazine, which is all-round, from the director to the actors, from the script to the core, pushed the "detachment" to the peak in one fell swoop. As the official publication of the Berlin Film Festival, Anthony's film review, there is no doubt that Became the leader of the first batch of comments, and the "3.8/4" rating pushed this controversy frenzy to its peak!
