Equals Reviews
In a film centered on characters being overwhelmed by stirring emotions, that reaction does not transfer successfully to the audience.
While the narrative recalls countless works and plays out in ways you'll surely see coming, Doremus' production deserves top marks for its visual and technical package.
You've never seen skin as devastatingly luminescent as Hoult's here
What could have been an exploration of the very core of what makes us human, a kind of star-crossed sci fi Romeo and Juliet, is instead a plodding look at two people experiencing late puberty.
Although Equals is not on the same accomplished level as the films or narratives it was inspired by and borrows heavily from, production values and performances make this a better-than-average offering.
If attractive people artfully photographed make you happy, Equals may work for you, but if you want a fully-thought-out speculative fiction premise, or even just a movie with momentum, this isn't up to delivering it.
Joanie Loves Chachi is a more affecting love story than this would-be champion of the human heart.
Taken for what it is - a poignant love story using a futuristic setting as a plot device - Equals is an enjoyable and moving film with a sometimes weak plot but a great look and excellent performances
Nicholas Hoult and Kristen Stewart are INSANELY BEAUTIFUL. You could watch this on mute and just be struck by the visuals, even if Doremus's hand-held camerawork doesn't make a ton of sense-at least he shows his stars off to advantage.
[Drake] Doremus falls into a shallow version of Sofia Coppola's impressionism, along with some tics from the Wong Kar-wai repertoire, and a full stream of Sundance-infused sensibility, resulting in an alarming lack of aesthetic interest or emotional drive
Equals strictly adheres to a mood of oppressive sterility that threatens to squeeze the life out of the film.
Avoiding the usual histrionics, Equals invites calm, thoughtful contemplation.
The only emotion the film allows us to feel is boredom.
Equals boasts] stunning cinematography, futuristic effects, and an impossibly controlled narrative.
Equals is a film that you will enjoy, it will not transcend but it's not as bad as many critics said. [Full review in Spanish]
The feature's boilerplate nature almost feels fitting.
A sci-fi film that, although it doesn't manage to be fully convincing, can be a good alternative to the great blockbusters. [Full review in Spanish]
If you ever wondered what might happen if hipsters were in charge of a future dystopia then Drake Doremus' derivative Equals has the answer.
To his credit, Doremus is a subtle director, who prefers exploring human feeling to mechanical action.
A bromidic cautionary tale scavenged from the frozen ashes of the Cold War. It's message? Love each other, don't blow each other up. Well, duh.
