    Seeing all the reviews that call this “society the movie” as if that’s all there is to this film is another brick in my wall honestly.

    9/10 A stunning adaptation of one of my favorite albums of all time. The portrayal of isolation and its effects on the psyche are beautifully portrayed with visuals that perfectly enhance the original music. Geldof plays Pink great but I don’t like his singing much at all

    Very good film. If you are a Pink Floyd fan, this is the movie for you. It is also a very abstract movie that uses a lot of visuals to grab the attention of the viewer. Much like the album, this movie is definitely a slap in the face to the government. Epic movie.

    L’album est beaucoup mieux. Les séquences en animation sont vraiment bien, mais le reste manque vraiment de profondeur. C’est aussi quand même pas pire misogyne.

    The greatest Rock musical ever. It takes the double album record and throws it on the screen. Nostalgic and classic at once.

    This movie sucks if you watch it as a “movie”. If you go into it knowing what it is and the music, it’s a 10/10.

Those tensions and conflicts produced, I believe, the right film for this material. I don't require that its makers had a good time. I'm reminded of my favorite statement by Francois Truffaut: I demand that a film express either the joy of making cinema or the agony of making cinema. I am not at all interested in anything in between.
