The I Inside Audience Reviews

PodBill Just what I expected
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Aryana Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Kirpianuscus a film about ambiguity of perceptions. about illusions. and about self definition. decent, provocative, dark. reasonable because it gives not more than you expect. a young man and his different lives. a bizarre past. and a sin who becomes more and more real. the past as a piece of clay. and the fight to be yourself, to preserve / discover the line between real and fiction. short, a must see for the fans of thrillers with few psychological nuances. or soft film from a genre who remains remarkable for few real great movies . for admirers of Ryan Philippe is a good option. for the interest of the relations between brothers a wise choice . short, a nice film.
Tss5078 Imagine waking up in the hospital after an accident, not knowing what happened, and then realizing that it's two years later than you thought it was. That is the dilemma faced by Simon Cable in The I Inside. This ambitious thriller has you piecing together the puzzle along side it's star Ryan Phillippe. The I Inside jumps around, far too much, between past, present, and future to tell it's story, a story that you really won't care about. It's a very uninteresting tale, that is told to you a piece at a time and to be honest, that's why you watch the film. It's confusing and not very good, but once you've invested the time, you want to know what happens. Ryan Phillippe was Brilliant as Simon Cable, proving that it really isn't all about the looks, he can act too, but again it's wasted talent in a very uninteresting tale. Phillippe is paired with Sarah Polley, who I absolutely love, the fact that she was in this film, is what put it on my radar, but she easily gives the worst performance of her career. Yes, the story wasn't very well written, but if everyone had put the energy into their roles that Phillippe did, the film would have at least had some credibility. The films Director is Roland Richter, was directing his first film in the United States. I don't know about movies in Germany, but here in the United States, if you're going to release a jumpy, confusing film, you'd had better make the story worth while. Richter fails to do that and the result is a slow, confusing film, that has you asking, "is that it? Really?" The I Inside is unique and will make you think, but the story being told, really isn't worth the time it takes to piece it all together.
oparthenon I'm surprised that some user comments found "The I Inside" even marginally watchable; there may be some star attraction in Sarah Polley or Ryan Philippe, but they are both ill used, and it is difficult for me, at least, to imagine genuine tears falling from Philippe's eyes as he mourns his existential condition with lines like, "This can't be --expletive deleted-- true!" and a moment later (as we switch to existential condition #2) "This can't be --another expletive-- happening!" (A reflective person, one gathers, this character apparently isn't.) Indeed, the action of the film (such as there is) is so preposterous, one can't imagine it happening anyway; but then this film knows not whether it is sci-fi or thriller, mystery or psychological drama -- no wonder the audience is reduced to focusing on its stars rather than on what they say or do as characters. Sorry -- a 2 star rating to a film that features glamorous actors in unglamorous, unflattering roles, and is absurd in the event to boot.
soberauer Just like the TV series "Lost", it seems all exciting while you watch and wait anxiously for the ending, which is supposed to explain everything, but when it ends, nothing is explained.The whole point to movies like this is the ending which is usually a really fascinating twist, explaining why things happened the way that they did, e.g. "The Others", "6th Sense". This one had absolutely no conclusion and left me feeling cheated and like I had wasted the last 2 hours of my life.At least it's fun to sit here and write how sh1t this move was and hope someone reads it :) By the way, I can't stand the TV series "Lost" either, and I did understand every single word in the Matrix, so I'm not dumb.
