Still, there is something to praise about a film that so heartily and earnestly pursues its strange delights.

Verbinski--whose very name makes him sound like a guy given to using too many words--just doesn't know when to stop. Sometimes, less is so much more.

You might feel like you’re in the company of a manic cinephile friend breathlessly recounting his favorite movie scenes in no particular order. You admire his devotion, his taste and his scholarship, but in the end the experience is probably more satisfying for him than it is for you. Still, the company isn’t bad.

When the climax does come, it arrives with a bra­cing blast of campy absurdity so flamboyantly deviant that it glows with a kind of perverse brilliance. But the setup is starved of logic, the film’s vital oxygen.

Through the two-and-a-half hour running time, it builds and builds on its dread, but in the last act, a few twists and story beats are fumbled, and in the end, it turns into a 1930s Universal-style gothic, psychosexual monster flick.

“A Cure For Wellness” is certainly stylish, and Verbinski does a good job at striking the tone that conveys madness being masked behind the facade of normalcy. But the movie has little to say about its characters, nor any kind of thematic undercurrent to give Lockhart’s journey to Switzerland any kind of message other than the blind pursuit of profit is an empty endeavor. But it’s a hollow takeaway, from an even more hollow movie.

A Wall Street firm’s future hinges on the signature of its CEO on a major deal. The problem? He’s gone to a mysterious health spa high in the Swiss Alps. Ambitious broker Lockhart (Dane DeHaan), the lackey sent to fetch him back, soon learns that all is not what it seems at the serene-seeming wellness centre.

2930d ago

A Cure For Wellness would have been a tremendous 100 minute movie, but even at 146, points are awarded to any studio that backs such lucid genre madness.
