Aimy in a Cage Audience Reviews

ada the leading man is my tpye
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
travisbickle86 I can imagine Aimy in a Cage causing great distress to a casual audience during screenings. Not so much for the content, as it's artistic and experimental form. I pity those who don't have the imagination or capacity to dream of cinema outside of a prescribed copy & paste format. There is a lot owed to Tim Burton - with the colored lighting, gaudy sets, costumes and props reminiscent of Burton's earlier works. The theme of being a repugnant and excluded artist is also present throughout. I saw the film as a subverted allegory for a girl struggling with an eating disorder, but who knows. Like the best surrealist cinema, the film flows subconsciously, like coming in-and-out of deep sleep. The cuts don't necessarily match and the audio isn't always synced, but it only adds to the orchestrated chaos of the film. Intentionally or not, I found the film hilarious in parts, especially scenes involving the Grandmother or Crispin Glover. Unfortunately, the narrative does fall-apart around the 50-minute mark (somewhat amusing in itself) as the cast shrinks downs to a trio. No doubt due to budget constraints. Still, I commend the filmmakers for creating this nightmarish fairytale, experimenting with cinema as an art-form. Which - lets face it, in recent times has reverted to being spoon-fed warm diarrhoea by major corporations.
acerbic-1 If you started watching the movie, got confused and irritated and then decided to check IMDb for reviews, just in case you are missing something.Some puzzle piece that will make this mess into a coherent experience - well, I hate to break it to you, but there isn't one.The only way for this film to be perceived as "good" is if you genuinely want to take a dive into a delirium.Summary: It's bad, it doesn't get better to the end, no answers or 'endings' will be happening.P.S. I hate "10 lines minimum" policy. This sht shtick doesn't deserve 10 lines.
gimpchrist It was absolutely perfect in every way. The lead's acting was off the chart...I was really impressed and giggling along sometimes at the character's antics and the way she just ripped right into her role, it must have been just fabulous on set... It was the very first time I'm not very impressed by Mr. Glover simply because I felt like he was doing a woody harrelson thing or something, but I love him anyway and the role could have been more well defined or rounded as a character, but overall, it fit. I loved Miss Paz, she added an extra kick, and I just loved the writing & the set design. The lighting was also absolutely perfect. Perfect movie.
soundfx-71140 It's an hour and 20 minutes you'll never get back! I found myself fast forwarding over many parts as they spewed mindless dribble out of their mouths, instead of intelligent dialogue. I can't even say they over- acted, because that would imply that there was some acting going on. The costumes must have been picked by a grade 3 class who were taking mommy's medication! Just horrible. That's all I can say.There was one thing that I liked. The old-style TV they used as a prop. It reminded me of a video game I played when I was a teenager. Other than that, please be on some major drugs if you see this. It's the only way you'll get through it without wanting to kill yourself!
