Equals (2015) Reviews

  • For me, a near masterpiece

    elliskjames2016-06-26

    I'll tell you what you need to know: if you like movies like this, you'll like this one. Maybe a whole lot. It's a science fiction movie with heart, that doesn't rely on explosions and death rays and warp speed travel, and it sheds light on things that are happening in our society today. The acting is very, very good. There is genuine chemistry between the leads, and they were both born to play these parts. The movie makes you think and feel. It's smart and it's deep. It's internally consistent. The soundtrack works. You can learn from it. There aren't anywhere near enough movies like this being made these days. Some people hated this movie. A lot of times, I think people that hate a movie like this are people who don't like the fact that their own shortcomings are being exposed. For me, when the movie ended, I experienced body-wide chills, and my eyes filled with tears. I loved it. I subtract a point because, from time to time, it moves a bit slower than it might need to. It's not quite an all time science fiction masterpiece, but it's close. It'll move you. You'll remember it. It'll give you something to talk about. It's a date movie you can both enjoy. If you like movies like this, you know who you are, and you can't possibly miss this movie. You won't. You're too smart for that.

  • A movie about suppressing emotions will make you pretty emotional

    meredithclarke-570412015-10-05

    I don't think this film deserves the bad reviews it is receiving. Of course everyone has different opinions on a great film. Personally, a movie is good (or great or excellent) if it sticks with me for a while after. I found myself thinking about the main characters for a few days after watching it at the Toronto International Film Festival. This film made me feel many emotions for the characters -which is very ironic considering the main theme of Equals. I thought Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult had excellent chemistry and portrayed their characters so wonderfully, and that's an impressive accomplishment if you remember the characters for the most part are supposed to be emotionless.

  • The best film I saw at TIFF

    noimnotawaitress2015-10-18

    I had expectations for this film, which were all exceeded. I expected the film to be somewhat even kilter from start to finish-- a character development story. What it is is a slow burning, impactive, stressful, hopeful story that will change the way you think about life and the world. Drake Doremus captures the essence of this seemingly peaceful Utopian world, but it is the connection between his two leads that bring this compelling story to life. I feel that people who don't like the film probably simply don't get it. It is deep, and it stays with you long after viewing. Of the films I saw at TIFF this year, this one is the only one I can't get out of my head. In fact, I liked it so well that I saw it at the second screening as well.

  • Beautiful

    longstemz212016-05-29

    I thought the film was beautiful in it's simplicity. Left with an open ending (i never enjoy those), the watcher of course is forced to wonder. I imagine, and the direction the last scene showed rather confirms, that his emotions returned shortly thereafter and that they made it out to live their lives together. I also like to imagine they found the other survivors at The Peninsula, already established with food and shelter, etc. Of course, with no confirmation, we'll never know. I'm sick of hearing band wagoners complaining of Kristen Stewarts lack of emotion, it only shows that they're the ones lacking. She portrays many emotions, they flit across her face, in her eyes. She brings life to an otherwise dull scene. And Hoult has been on my radar since Skins, and I'm so pleased to see him rising the ranks here in the US. They both have exceptional talent.

  • Nice world-building, now tell us an interesting story

    Rick-342016-10-29

    Equals is set in a futuristic world where, inexplicably, people have decided to "do away with emotions." Of course this phrase never has any real meaning, since any kind of inclination to do anything can be counted as an emotion. So really it's a sci-fi setting to explore the practice of the suppression of emotions. A problem which has never existed. OK, before I trash the movie too much: the acting is fine, the set design and look are very good, and the world-building is excellent. But what is the story here? Two people who aren't supposed to fall in love do so anyway. Call me a cynic but I need more than that. Compare and contrast Equals with The Lobster, another sci- fi/dystopian movie about suppressing emotions. Rather, The Lobster compares the societal demand that people form couples, regardless of how dysfunctional they are, against an underground movement of people who insist that being single should not be cause for rejection by society (though the rebels go too far the other way, adopting the "no emotional connections" attitude that fits with Equals). Somehow The Lobster manages to fit an interesting and funny story into the world. Equals? It gives us practically nothing. Perhaps this is just a distillation of the concept of Forbidden Love. I really expected more.
