I found the first half of Black Box painfully bland and so when the second half mercifully picked up, I found it entertaining however I struggled to be properly invested because that first half just didn’t hook me at all. There are some good ideas here but in the end it just didn’t hit me as I wished it would’ve. It’s not awful but it basically feels like a really competent and decent student film.

Mamoudou Athie is really good and I hope I get to see Emmanuel Osei-Kuffour’s name pop up again in the future.

If you’ve got nothing else to watch on a rainy afternoon then Black Box might be the go.

Get Out-ta here.

Black Box, the better Amazon film releasing this week, is like Black Mirror set in a literal sunken place – a story about a man grabbing at the dark to find his identity. A familiar sci-fi centring on memory that lost me towards the end but has a touching father-daughter dynamic.

Literally the lamest Black Mirror episode imaginable. God damn, what a sleeping pill this is.💊

a bad black mirror episode with randomly placed horror?

A man Is struggling with amnesia after a car accident and decides to partake in an experimental procedure that shakes up some dark imagery in his mind. 

I had a lot of problems with this but it didn’t bore me so I kept on. It gets very muddy in The who are we empathizing with department, the POV from which it’s being told could’ve improved that. The lead is a bit of a wet blanket and just has this defeated facial expression almost the entire film. It rips a plot device from another great film... oy I wish I had something nice to say here other than it was great to see Phylicia Rashad and a black cast in a horror film.. it’s not terrible it’s ok , it could’ve been better, I’ve seen worse, I never wanted to turn it off & it has a creepy factor that works actually!

The cinematic equivalent of small talk.

Clair really tryna get Theo back on track, huh?

If you've never watched The Cosby Show, I'm sorry for the pointless review.

Absolutely bloody dreadful. It's like Amazon looked at all the shit Netflix originals and thought hmm we'll have us some of that! The acting was so bad I reckon I could've done better, and my filmography consists of playing 'young Scrooge' when I was about 6.

Pretty interesting concept that seems very familiar. It takes some ideas from other movies and add it own little twist and flavor. Solid acting from all characters but the little girl is simply adorable. Worth watching.

Yeesh. Not good.
Very much like a really bad Black Mirror episode, which everyone has already said it seems.
Has the audacity to set up a sequel. Please no more of these.

CLAIR HUXTABLE WOULD NEVER

It's not the best movie I've ever seen, but I enjoyed it for what it is & could appreciate the ending. I would have been pissed if it were any other way to be honest lol. The concept is something we've kind of seen before with movies like Chappie & Eternal Sunshine, but the plot & motives were interesting enough!

Well. It was absolutely better than Inception, anyway.

ehhh wasn’t great

Enigmatic lo-if thriller.
B movie, but I enjoyed the ride.

Kinda crazy mind fuck but seems like a mix of different movies instead of something completely original

Nice plot.
