Sn. Vincent

Bill is back. Y genial de nuevo. Como si estuviera completando una trilogía de los personajes de Lost in Translation y Flores rotas. Pero a pesar de que su historia y las de sus vecinos o la dama de la noche son relajadas y contienen un puñado de episodios risueños, le falta la originalidad, es demasiado sentimental y no tiene nada que se grabara en nuestra memoria. Todas esas muecas cómicas, interacción mentor/chico o las excéntricas creaciones de Naomi como una prostituta rusa dan la impresión de estar allí como objetivo propio.

Even though the ending is full of pathos, I didn’t mind it at all. All the while I was watching this movie, I felt such a kind heart from it that the ending put me into an incredibly wonderful mood. Bill Murray plays a grouch who has such great reasons to act the way he does that even had he never starred in another movie I’d always remember him with fondness thanks to this role. But the movie is not about him alone. It’s also about a little boy portrayed by Jaeden Lieberher, his mom, but also about the teacher who’s bringing faith into it, which would usually annoy me just a bit. But in this case, I don’t mind at all, because everything is so beautifully natural and sincere that it gave me the impression that this world can’t be so bad after all. (12.01.2015)

Bill Murray is still far and away the best contemporary American actor to go to see at the movies. And if he's seconded by Melissa McCarthy and Chris O'Dowd and the comedic timing is absolutely spot on? Well, it means one thing. I'm going to watch it again. (02.01.2015)

En los últimos tiempos me alegro de Bill Murray, finalmente ha salido de la caja de ser un actor de una sola expresión, que siempre interpreta los mismos personajes, y finalmente muestra algo diferente. En el papel de "San Vicente" claramente actuó con gran entusiasmo y el resultado es mejor de lo esperado. En términos de actuación, la película es fuerte, por ejemplo, el ruso inglés de Naomi Watts es irresistible. Una película relajada y agradable con un final típicamente americano, pero podemos pasar por alto eso. (31.03.2015)

As much as the film scored points here and there, for its thorough study of what my old age will look like, by the end it managed to blow them all with its cunning elegance. These safe bets irritate me, and I still hate myself for them, for the way they show my lowliness by making me predictably amused just by Bill Murray being alcoholically cool and pissing off the whole street. Fortunately, St. Vincent is pretty poorly shot, has downright terrible editing (it looks like they switched to PG-13 at the last minute), and the ending is exactly so wrong and unfunny that the real Vincent would have thrown a shoe at the TV.

Once I saw the poster, I told myself that it would be unbelievable nonsense. Well, I couldn't have been more wrong. It's not nonsense. This film got me and surprised me. Bill Murray is great here, but this time he really plays a demanding role. Finally, I got a chance to see Melissa McCarthy in something where she can show that she is a capable actress. And then there's the excellent Naomi Watts, also different than usual. And on top of that, great child actors. I enjoyed this with all the emotions. (19.11.2014)
