Review of Sly

Sly (2023)
10/10
It's a dialog with a father you never had
8 November 2023
I'll be philosophical here. It's not a movie about Sly, it's him taking on a role of a father and talking to YOU about love, struggle, challenges and life. That's how i felt. Because he was sincere. There's no acting in this movie, it doesn't even seem like there's a script - he's just answering questions that you'd probably ask him if you were there and that gives the sense of being present there with him, listening to his stories. He's not being judgmental and he's not telling you what to do, like those pr***s on youtube. He's soft, something you don't expect at first, but because he knows he made mistakes in life and he knows his own psychology that was installed during his childhood and how hard it is to deal with it - the movie is not a lecture and it's not a "look how great i am!", it is a dialog. And i insist on using the word "dialog" because even though a dialog is a conversation between 2 people, and you're obviously not there, you still feel like you've talked and the talk made your life a little bit brighter, a little bit less nihilistic.
