X: Past is Present
Critic reviews and ratings
-
An intriguing experiment which I would recommend you watch, even if you might not like it as much as I did.
-
...for a cinematic pastiche that represents as audacious a leap into the unknown as this, a few quibbles here and there are no big deal.
-
...do watch it if the intricacies of human mind and relationships intrigue you. Must watch for those interested in the art of filmmaking or storytelling too.
-
The best thing about the film is that it is a fascinating amalgamation of a lot many flavours of varied personalities.
-
...is like a hybrid rose plant. You have to ignore the thorns to appreciate a budding rose.
-
A big part of the disappointment of watching X is in knowing that there were real flashes of brilliance in the script that did not materialise on screen.
-
It is tolerable in parts, sometimes inventive, often mediocre but never half-as-good as it claims to be.
-
...this movie is like a biryani prepared by 11 cooks. You can imagine the taste if one cook has forgotten to inform the other whether he has added salt!
-
...is an experiment at best and should be watched as one; if at all.
-
The idea is interesting, but is not executed too well as the screenplay seems fraught with confusion.
-
There is a big idea here, which gets communicated to the viewer at times and eludes at others.
-
Too many cooks in the kitchen end up serving an experimental disaster.
-
Watching most of X felt like being dragged through a bad drug trip of some sad hostel boys.
-
It’s interesting, certainly. But look past the style, and there’s little substance.
-
...amateurish and poorly acted attempt at deconstructing romance, heartbreak and the merging of reality with fiction.
-
...plays out as a disjointed stutter, rather than a seamless progression, its backing-and-forthing more choppy and confusing than anything else.
-
...a hydra-headed misfire.
-
The film may be called X: Past is Present, but it surely promises a headache in the immediate future.
-
...emerges from an interesting experimental concept that comes to naught.
