Coffee Bloom
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...there's nothing more fascinating than seeing poetry in motion on screen.
-
The drama in this film is a quite gripping and all the three actors perform well.
-
The film has a sense of warmth that ensures the audience would not want to ditch it half-way. However, the pace is a little slow
-
...a good attempt for a debutant director.
-
...I found Coffee Bloom an unexpectedly satisfying film. It is paced in a fashion that might be considered too slow and too languid by some. To me though it felt relaxed, reflective, unusual and offbeat.
-
...if you find nothingness fascinating and are fine with films boasting of unhurried silences and stunning landscapes, you can give this indie film a shot. Ironically, you will need a cup of coffee to sit through this tedious affair.
-
The story of a man-child torn between remorse and wounded love is a complex one to tell. This was perhaps the one natural environment that needed some indulgence, an atmospheric sensual aspect that could have atoned for awkward storytelling.
-
...isn’t the most exciting of films, but it has a slow-burn intensity that owes a lot to Mathur and Garg’s carefully calibrated performances and Kapoor’s exuberant, pressure-releasing one.
-
...most of the characters created by director and co-writer Sharat Parvathavani are under-written and not rounded enough to justify the complexity of their experiences.
-
It never manages to give you an adrenaline rush like the coffee, nor does it bloom into a full fledged drama.
-
It is sadly a weak brew; adequate, but nothing to write home about.
-
After a gentle two-thirds or so, the plot picks up and the film becomes hurried and less satisfying.
-
...is an excellent example of how some filmmakers end up making pretentious, self indulgent unwatchable movies in the name of independent cinema.
-
...becomes one of those films whose premise is interesting, but which is let down by the execution.
