 Is up everyone welcome to a brand new review today I'm discussing the vanishing of Sydney Hall a brand new a24 film which if you don't know what a24 is they do some fantastic films They pick up other films like it comes at night the disaster artists and tons of others that you guys have probably all seen and I think they're one of the best production companies out there right now for Picking up small indie films and you can say that I was pretty excited going into the vanishing of Sydney Hall Given I have no idea what this film was about prior to the watching this film and going in to see it I saw the screener. I went and watched it and I was excited to see this just knowing that a24 had developed this again I said I had no expectations. I didn't see any of the reviews any reactions. I barely even heard about the film I knew who was in it per se and Vanishing of Sydney Hall. It's a fine movie. I enjoy it I won't say it's one of a24 is best and I won't say that afterwards I went and looked at the reviews and damn people are slamming this film And it is not as bad as what people are saying there. There is not that bad as what people are saying But I will say There's really no point to this film. It's very much more of a character study that's Told in a very particular style of way which in a way is kind of a big risk for some directors to take Because the way this movie takes place is that it actually tells a story There are three different timelines and all the timelines you concur towards the end But it's very much different timelines which some on paper This might have worked but when coming to the screens very hard to edit and put it into that context Some films can do it very well this film in particularly I feel like didn't handle it that well And that's one of my big cons with the film is the way that it's structured is you can't figure out how it's told Because it doesn't work. It works in weird ways and sometimes the things that are being told the flashbacks Is don't make sense to what's going to the next scene and usually when a film is being told in this way The flashbacks and the other scenes that the other timelines It's going to will equal and kind of make sense of why it's being shown at this particular moment Particularly it doesn't it feels like it's just continuing a different timeline And I didn't really like that kind of style to be honest What really saves this film and really what made me enjoy the film overall as the performances in here? Logan Lerman is one of the easily the most underrated and under appreciated actors working today He's very young and up-and-coming, but the guy he has not had that one role yet that is bam I'm just pushed him forward. I mean he was in the Percy Jackson. He was fine first being of law of flower He was fantastic in but he saw has not had that one movie in here But the guy still gives a really good performance in here's a very likeable performance And I like what Logan Lerman does with the performance in here now for me Kyle Chandler was also in here And he's great to see pop up But for me the one performance in here that steals almost the whole entire film is Ellie Fanny Fanny plays melody in here and she I forget how good of an actress she is I mean one she carries such charismatic energy with her She's beautifully talented, but she fits every character and always pushes it into a new dynamic She can always bring any range of emotion But her charisma charm just leaks out of the screen and such cute charm in it that makes you just love her character And every scene she was in I wish she was in the film more to be honest relationship and chemistry She has with Sydney Hall Logan Lerman's character is just fantastic And it just oozes off the screen that I wish more the film honestly focused on them and not just Logan Lerman's character This film is pretty much about a kid in high school Finding success with a book that he read and then also he gets into an unexpected relationship And that's literally all this film is about like it's a very small Touching film, but it doesn't hit all the right aspects like I was saying I think it's mostly just because of how the story was told the end of the film when the film ends You're kind of like okay two hours have passed and whoo Finally, it's over but like I said those chemistry parts is the parts that really worked for me Those moments with the actors is what really worked for me made the film come to life Think of the editing and the directing on some of the scenes on how they were gonna particularly tell the story It would have been a little bit better I think this film would have easily came into be or a minus for me It's ranging a little bit lower than those and it's mostly hitting those ranges because the performance held this film up Absolutely the performances what gives this film what it is But the story is what really held this film down I like the story that was telling by the end of the film. It didn't leave me pondering or thinking anything It really was just a character study and more of just watching people do it stuff I think this film eventually will probably end up on Netflix or Amazon Prime or even Hulu and people will take a liking to it It's one of the films that you go into you watching you can enjoy it and have some enjoying moments to it But there's certain elements assert the hit at the end of this film that I wish more of would have hit and Revelated towards the middle of the film for me to ponder more throughout it And I wish the film left me pondering and wondering more about my own personal life and making me think about my personal life But it didn't it just ended and that's it It doesn't make you think it doesn't make you ponder where most 824 films make me continue to think or make me feel inspired Or make me pondering analyze certain things and this film didn't feel like that. It just felt like a generic Character study that happens in a film. That's really all the vanishing of city hall is so I think if you were interested in seeing this film Definitely worth a watch if you ever heard of the film maybe wait till it goes on Netflix or so so about that I'm gonna get the vanishing of city hall a C plus like I said if it wasn't for the characters in here I think this film would have totally fell apart. It's definitely not as bad as other critics are saying I was reading some of the reviews and I was like how why why do you think it's not bad? It's an enjoyable film and the characters and the actors in here really held it up Ellie fanning. I cannot wait to see what she does next. I forget how good of an actress she is I mean guys have you guys even heard about this film or are you guys excited about this film and also leave down below Let's leave this question.
