  1. Self/less movie review & film summary (2015)

    Which makes the result, "Self/less," all the more frustrating. "Self/less" is a bland, generic product that almost defiantly refuses to explore the complex issues which it raises, perhaps in an effort to appeal to a wider audience. The narrative outline of "Self/less" is a philosophical theme park, readymade for daring, complex filmmaking.

  6. Self/less

    I came expecting the worst and came out utterly confused by how good the movie was. Did the critics and I watch the same movie? 99% of the time I hate hate hate children actors, but by the end of Self/less, even I felt a real attachment to the fate of the young daughter. The entire movie was well crafted and executed. Give it a try.

    Self/less (2015): Dir: Tarsem Singh / Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Ben Kingsley, Natalie Martinez, Matthew Goode, Victor Garber: Title symbolizes two elements. First, it regards a selfless act where one places importance upon others over oneself. Secondly, it regards a decaying of conscience.

  22. Review: Self/Less

    Rating: PG-13. "God made man. Man made immortality.". Not the most biblically accurate tagline for a movie. Self/Less toys with the idea of being able to live forever by moving your consciousness into another body. All this unfolds in a science-fiction thriller that really only focuses on entertaining escapism.
