Any film will be criticized, because no work can be perfect, and because it is persistently criticizing and criticizing, this is one of the jobs of film critics; what's more, horror movies are more prone to criticism. Strike, which is determined by the characteristics of genre films. "Buried alive" is no exception.
Among the many praises, Lisa-Schwazbaum of Entertainment Weekly steadfastly expressed her rejection, even disgust, of the film, "The movie is undeniably stupid, and Narcissistic. The interpretation of the political point of view, whether it is monotonous and rigid, or stupid, even has an impact on the visual effect and viewing pleasure of the film itself. Hall's performance is the only highlight of the whole film."
Lisa's point of view can be said to be completely new. The film's connection and criticism of reality, as the core idea, has been unanimously praised by most film critics, and everyone thinks that it complements the depth and thickness of the work very well; but Lisa, on the contrary, thinks that this has become a burden.
In the detailed film review of "Entertainment Weekly", Lisa criticized this, and righteously believed that Rodrigo, as a Spaniard, not only lacked understanding of American society, but also lacked sensitivity to political development. The blunt and superficial interpretation seriously affects the quality of the entire film. Hidden behind this review, one may glimpse Lisa's political/political stance.
This is a myth about the media. In the impression, the media always seems to maintain a neutral and objective position, respect facts, protect facts, and reveal facts. But in fact, every reporter, editor-in-chief, and columnist has their own cultural, religious, economic, and social background. When reporting the same thing, their perspectives and opinions will inevitably deviate. This is inevitable. Yes, words and sentences will be different; what's more, major media have their own political/political attributes, such as in the United States, whether it is Democrat or Republican, Catholic, Christian or other denominations, which will affect the news reports of the media. make an impact.
It seems that in the 2016 US presidential election, even the "New York Times" and "Los Angeles Times" had biased opinions in the reporting process, so that the elites firmly believed in Hillary Clinton before the election result. (Hilary-) could win, but voters in the Midlands gave the elite a hard punch. The same is true of Brexit, with London's elites completely dumbfounded by the outcome.
This is the most direct manifestation of the bias in media coverage.
Obviously, Lisa can't agree with the political/political views shown by "Buried Alive", which also affects her perception of the entire movie.
However, Lisa is obviously not alone. There are two other film critics who hold similar views to her, and they have gone a step further, putting aside their political/political views and criticizing and accusing the film itself. Peter-Travis from "Rolling Stone" had a more fiery rhetoric that could be said to be full of gunfire.
"If you're into being tortured - I'm not sure if 'enjoyed' is the right word - being buried alive in a coffin for a hundred minutes, what's worse, the claustrophobia of the confined space, and the lack of The cheap props of imagination have completely destroyed the innovative ability of the film and the depth of the script. Such a mediocre and boring thriller, you are welcome to enter the cinema. In addition, the only thing that can help the audience get through this It's not Hall's handsome face that is the disaster, but Hall's excellent performance."
Although "Rolling Stone" is a music critic, it is still the most authoritative and popular professional music magazine in North America, but after entering the new century, it began to transform and gradually became a comprehensive magazine. Their movie reviews also have a large readership.
Apparently, Pitt's aversion to "buried alive" is all-around, except for Renly. In this regard, film critic James-Benard (James-Benard) of the film professional magazine "Village Voice" also agreed.
"The weak script barely had much room to play, we just watched the actors get stuck in place, screaming, startling, crying, and then repeating it, looking like a schoolboy Halloween trick. Hall tried his best. Dedicated acting at the best actor level, but still can't save the whole movie. We have endured enough of 'Chainsaw' and prayed that 'Buried Alive' would not be made into a series."
Lisa's comment looks like a love accusation compared to James' harsh criticism, and it's clear that James isn't in the least bit about Buried Alive, and even Renly's performance can't save him exclusion.

Among the nine comments in the official magazine, six were positive and three were negative. The debut of "Buried Alive" was the first shot, but what was even more commendable was the long applause after the premiere. From the tireless entanglement of reporters and audiences, to the recognition of the official publications, the film was suddenly pulled into the spotlight from the remote corner where it was coldly received, and countless eyes were projected over, and it was only at this time that people noticed There is such a work at this year's Toronto Film Festival.
More importantly, but both praise and criticism, Renly's performance was met with unanimous praise, even the "Rolling Stone" and "Village Voice" reviews, "Renly-Hall" The name began to appear frequently in the newspapers.
Almost effortlessly, people's memories are awakened - the rookie who just won the video emperor in the Emmys, the folk singer who just made a big splash on YouTube, deserves to be the hottest online discussion in the past month. Entertainers, now, the previous craze hasn't completely subsided, people are still surprised by the breakthrough of "Cleopatra" on the Billboard, and now the Toronto Film Festival has ushered in good news. It's just… wave after wave.
Who is Renly
The question seems to be endless, with a group of people asking questions after the Emmys, a group of people asking questions after "Ophelia," and now another group asking questions while the Toronto Film Festival is in full swing. With more and more focus on Renly, the mysterious aura became more and more prosperous, and the discussion fever swept again.
The first to react is undoubtedly the media colleagues.
The Toronto Film Festival is an international stage. Unlike the independent works that are screened in North American art theaters, any work here will feel the attention from all over the world. Thousands of reporters from more than 400 media around the world are here. stop. Any slight disturbance may attract the eyes of the "wolves".
Who has won the hearts and minds of so many professional media, and has won the praise of the official magazine, and is currently only behind the acclaimed "Blue Valentine's Day", and has become a dark horse since the opening of the film festival. One of the most discussed works, broken glasses scattered all over the floor
Who in the end made a bloody road in the word of mouth, and received indiscriminate praise as an unknown newcomer. Whenever I find a detail, I am surprised by one point: it will be more than two months before the second year. At the age of eleven, the second work of his acting career, the first work on the big screen, the Spanish work with a mere 3 million investment, defeated nearly a thousand competitors and won Steven Spielberg and Tom Hank s favor
Who stole the moment of glory belonging to "The Thief in the City", and who stole the moment of glory that belonged to Ben Affleck, under the grand crush of last night's premiere, today's media reports swept across Qianjun is almost predictable, but who would have thought that the headlines of the major media are "The Thief in the City" and Ben Affleck, but the hot topic is Renly Hall
Interestingly, the excitement of the European media is no less than that of North America. For the North American media, they are excited that the Toronto Film Festival has killed another dark horse, and this is an English work, which means that it will be released in North America, and may even become the dark horse of awards season - just like "The Hollywood Reporter" General forecast.
For European media, what they are excited about is that the capital of the film comes from Spain, the director and the shooting team are Spanish, and the leading actor Renly is British. This is a pure European film. So, who is Rodrigo Cortez? Who is Renly Hall
Andy Rogers' cell phone has been completely blown up. Since "Buried Alive" is an independent work, the producer is Rodrigo Cortez, and the media can't find a publicist at all, so they can only contact me; In addition, the most watched Renly, their first reaction was to contact Renly's agent.
For the next twenty-four hours, Andy's cell phone rang continuously, with almost no time to rest. Interviews about "Buried Alive" and interviews with Renly continued to flow.
Generally speaking, in a top stage such as the three major European film festivals, there may be more than 150 media for the promotion of a film, and the entire interview process will last for four to five days, and there is still almost no rest. However, it is more difficult for independent films with low attention, and most of them will be less than 50 - such a number is already a dream for independent films.
But now, at least 90 media are making appointments for interviews with Buried Alive and Renly, and this number continues to climb. It can be clearly felt that as the word-of-mouth of "buried alive" gradually ferments, the media attention will also skyrocket.
This is undoubtedly the best for Renly. Most of the other actors started in the United States. Renly's first step was to complete a blockbuster debut on the international stage in Toronto. The attention from all over the world is a dream.
Comparatively speaking, "The Thief in the City" broke out on the night of the premiere, and then it seemed to slowly quieten down. What's more, the craze on the Internet, "robbers in the city" was suppressed by "buried alive".
