A Cure for Wellness - review

So A Cure for Wellness is a film directed by Gore Verbinski (who also directed the first 3 Pirates of the Caribbean films, and also directed other movies like The Lone Ranger, Rango and The Ring) and this film is about a young business executive who goes to a wellness center to retrieve his company's CEO, but soon realizes that what happens at that wellness center may not be as good as he thought. Now critics are always complaining about not getting original movies put to theaters, but somehow whenever Hollywood actually puts out an original movie, they trash it. This is one of those occasions, it currently has a 38% on Rotten Tomatoes. Do I agree with the critics? No, I don't! I wish I saw this in theaters, but because I couldn't, I watched it on one of those things where you can watch any movie you want on it, I forgot what the fuck those are called, but yeah, and i got surprisingly good quality on it too. But anyways, yeah, I thought this was a very well done, and pretty great movie! It's weird, it's interesting all the way through, and it is masterfully edited and shot! This is a movie that requires you to think, and pay complete attention! This is also a very long movie too, it's about 2 and a half hours long. Well, Logan was that long too but that was a much faster movie than this. The run time can be a problem for a lot of people too because you do feel the run time of this movie, it's not a fast paced movie! Also, if you are easily disturbed, do not watch this movie, there is rape, tons of really bizarre violence with blood, and other demented shit like that! A Cure for Wellness is a tough movie to talk about, this movie really makes you think a lot, which is one of my favourite things about this movie! I do however recommend seeing this movie if you want to see an original movie that is weird, demented and overall really good!

Grade: A
Run time: 146 min
MPAA:  Rated R for disturbing violent content and images, sexual content including an assault, graphic nudity and language
