Simon (2016)
Appalling in so many ways
Ok, so it might seem a bit harsh giving this 1 star, especially as I'm British watching a Brit movie, but I feel obliged to help people avoid wasting their life watching this. I'll start with the good points. The actual sorry line as written in the initial Netflix bio make it sound watchable. Now for the not so good. The acting is pretty poor, and I'm being as nice as possible here. The direction is abysmal, the camera angles and closeness to the actors is worse than shocking, and finally the sound is so in and out, did the sound guy have matchstick arms and could not cope with the weight of the boom mic ? Trust me, this is one to avoid. I'll try and finish on a positive note though, if they'd used decent actors, and decent director, with decent equipment, it might have been ok ish.
