Narrative
The Maynards and their children live a near-perfect billionaire life. Amon is an avid hunter, but he doesn’t shoot animals, as the family’s wealth allows them to live completely without consequences.
I saw this at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival
Ayn Rand: The Point Is, Who’s Gonna Stop Me? Directors Daniel Hoesl and Juliane Niemann clearly have an interesting satirical take on the wealthy class and while there are some good ideas, it feels underdeveloped and not as strong as the film thinks it is.
Many of the performances are solid with a few of the children’s performances falling a bit short
Throughout, the production design, camerawork and color presentation are beautiful and really beautiful as they help capture the atmosphere and essence within the characters. The direction from Hoesl and Niemann, while a bit sloppy, has a clear vision of what style and atmosphere they are going for.
It feels like there were some good ideas that didn’t really hit the desired potential
The narrative is a good concept, but unfortunately, it doesn’t feel as strong as it thinks it is because the narrative feels underdeveloped with some themes and the characters don’t feel like an investment or an interesting emotional connection. There are certain moments that are shocking, edgy and quite bizarre and I understand where the filmmakers are coming from and their vision.
But it could have been stronger
But it doesn’t feel fully earned and the style feels too similar to something by Ruben Ostlund or Michael Haneke. Overall, it’s not bad because there are some moments that I appreciate.
