This one is complicated…<\/p>\n
Canary<\/em> is shot not so much like a documentary as a window into this alternate world.\u00a0 It’s like we’re watching people go about their daily lives, which is just as dull as it sounds.\u00a0 But I’m not saying this movie is boring.\u00a0 You just have to pay really close attention to pick up on all the clues as to WTF is going on.\u00a0 I am left with many questions and while I think I’ve answered some of them, many more keep me puzzled.\u00a0<\/p>\n The dude who introduced this movie warned us that it is challenging and the viewer is never spoon fed.\u00a0 If you’ll allow me to stretch the metaphor, I will argue that while I don’t require a spoon feeding, I do appreciate being given chopsticks so I can feed myself.\u00a0 I just wish I was given a little more.\u00a0 Just a little more.\u00a0 I think I have a handle on the Canary Universe but I don’t have a why for it, nor do I have a why should I care.\u00a0<\/p>\n But… I kind of do care.\u00a0 A lot of the movies I’ve seen this year left me feeling great but I went home without the need to discuss the narrative.\u00a0 For this one my viewing companion and I talked about it all through dinner.\u00a0 And the more I think about it, the more I like it.\u00a0 But I still have issues with it.\u00a0 I really liked the voyeristic quality to the filming style, but quite frankly, I think a few times the deliberate\u00a0obscurity was a little pretentious.<\/p>\n Do I recommend Canary<\/em>?\u00a0 Yes, if you are Kebes.\u00a0 No if you are MJ.<\/p>\n [rating:30]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This one is complicated… Canary is shot not so much like a documentary as a window into this alternate world.\u00a0 It’s like we’re watching people go about their daily lives, which is just as dull as it sounds.\u00a0 But I’m not saying this movie is boring.\u00a0 You just have to pay really close attention to […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[37,39,17],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.niqueworks.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1301"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.niqueworks.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.niqueworks.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.niqueworks.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.niqueworks.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1301"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/www.niqueworks.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1301\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1304,"href":"http:\/\/www.niqueworks.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1301\/revisions\/1304"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.niqueworks.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.niqueworks.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1301"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.niqueworks.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
