Rubber Audience Reviews

Alicia I love this movie so much
Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
badhabitslounge After recently watching The Pianist, I next watched Rubber. One can argue what a great film The Pianist may be, but to argue that Rubber is something other than garbage is a total waste of time.
Gryphonn Phoenix Tyre becomes self aware. Tyre meets girl. Tyre does nasty things. Yes, you need to watch this movie, for nothing less than helping the production people recover their costs and to help the actors through this harrowing time. Having said that, this film does exceed in terms of B-grade beauty, yet could do with a soundtrack like 'Paris Texas'. It brings on memories of 'Duel', 'Psycho', 'Weekend At Bernies', 'Rocky Horror', 'Scanners' and that Tomato movie. I was one of many who had to see this out. It posed so many questions that do not get answered until the final scenes. So don't hit the eject button too early, else you will miss the best bits.
SnoopyStyle A sheriff tells a group audience out in the desert that many big movies have important elements with no reason. The group is given binoculars. A rubber tire rolls by itself. It has the power to explode things. It explodes small animals and people as well. It is taken with a beautiful woman and follows her to an isolated motel.This is a quirky concept. Other than the concept, there isn't anything that compelling. Mr. Bean may not say much but the character is hilarious. This tire has no dialog. It tries to be funny but there are no actually laughs. This has the weird concept and breaking down the 4th wall. There isn't much else. Filmmaker Quentin Dupieux is probably better off making a short with this idea and move on with another idea for the full length feature.
arkhambat-513-170795 A perfectly good idea ruined by over-explanation and "look how clever we are" winks. Good jokes don't give the punchline away before the setup, great art doesn't demand you read a thesis to walk you through it. The introduction and frame story here did nothing but detract from the perfectly acceptable conceptual element of this film. It feels like a "Mulholland Drive" or "Lost Highway" if David Lynch had filmed an additional 45 minutes of footage to both pad out an inconsistent idea as well as spoon-feed his audience the point he was making. If the point is "just because", SHOW it. Don't tell us straight out. Let us see/experience it through the visuals and story. Take the idea and run with it, don't falter and just blurt it out. What's the point in watching the rest? Overall: a terrible failure that could have been something great.
