If you have a creative bone in your body, DON’T MISS THIS MOVIE!!!!

That is sooooooo not something you would hear me say normally.
Being an actres, there’s a certain amount of bullshit I can stand. But there is sooooo much of it right now that hollywood is practically sinking.
Now, I’m the worst person to take to a movie nowadays. I’m an extremely harsh critic because it appears that there’s no real art to the cinema anymore; it’s all become about marketing campaigns and demographics. Scary to think of how tunnel-visioned Hollywood is. And then I stumbled upon this film : “Ink”. It was recommended on my Netflix. Sounded interesting. Sure, why not? But I have to admit that after an hour and forty minutes, I can easily say it is truly one of the greatest films I’ve ever seen and one of the top films of our generation.
If you watch it, you’ll understand. I’m so glad Hollywood didn’t get their hands on this. They would have bastardized it and made it a safe PG-13 movie geared towards young adults or something while losing all of its humanity. Bravo to the directors and producers for not selling out and doing this movie with such blatent passion and integrity and vision.
It beauitfully blends fantasy and horror without shoving anything down your throat. There’s some beautiful sequences that will make your 5 year old smile and some sequences that would make any adult quiver.
There’s no giant explosions, but there is AMAZING fight choreography. There’s not a whole lot of special effects except for some crafty camera work and editing devices. There’s no big stars to name in sight but all throughout the movie the acting is remarkable. All of these brought together an actual piece of living, breathing art that I’m proud to say I will watch over and over again. I highly recommend to you all to do yourself and your sensibilities a favor, relax, take a breath, and watch this ravishing film.
It’s availalbe streaming on Hulu (with commercials) and also on Netflix instant watch (totally without commmercials which is definately how it should be watched).
