The Show(2017)

Not the greatest film but IMO ticked along nicely and very watchable

I felt it was thought provoking, but hated the ending. I wish they would'#39;ve flushed out what happens after the point where they ended it. My husband hated this movie, and consequently I'#39;ve lost movie picking privileges for awhile.

This film was just truly sick, the fact that people would probably actually sit and watch this show in real life makes me feel soo bad!

Despite the glut of crap reality tv shows on our screens, it is unlikely we would ever get a show like this... I hope! The film doesn'#39;t have a lot new to say, but like the audience in the movie, I was glued to the gratuity of what played out before me.

Well, I enjoyed this movie and for once I liked Sarah Wayne Callie’s character. (Absolutely abhorred her in The Walking Dead). Also, Giancarlo’s performance was excellent as always.

The Show starring Josh Duhamel is a bleak and unsettling film that explores the dark side of reality TV. It's about this TV show where contestants are literally killing themselves on live TV for ratings and money. It’s a pretty grim movie. I'm still not sure how I feel about it. The movie's slow-burning and depressing, which feels fitting for the subject matter. The cast is talented, with several recognizable faces, and Josh Duhamel's performance is solid. To be honest, I found it pretty boring at times, and the whole experience was just really bleak and sad. The portrayal of people ending their lives on national TV is haunting. It’s a commentary to how desensitized society has become to watching violence, death and the demise of others as entertainment. It’s not an easy watch, and I wouldn't say it's particularly enjoyable. If you're in the mood for something heavy, this might be worth checking out.

i liked this movie but i also really like giancarlo esposito and he directed it, so i'#39;m probably biased. it'#39;s a little formulaic and a lot contrived but honestly i assumed it was poking fun of itself halfway through when you see famkke'#39;s character pointing at the ratings on the screen and the shows with less viewership than theirs are titled things like '#34;screaming children all day long'#34; and '#34;things women cry about'#34;. felt much more like satire than a drama, kind of in the vein of the show barry.

This clump of cliches and formulaic story line should'#39;ve followed its own premise and offed itself before I had to.

It'#39;s very much a '#34;Made in Vancouver, made for TV'#34; film. There are some good performances hiding here, but they'#39;re largely irrelevant. It'#39;s not even a little bit subtle, with 30 minutes of story stretched past the breaking point.
