Jubilee - Criterion Collection Reviews
Punk quality
I saw this film (what I could stand) because I was curious about Toyah Willcox as an actor. I had to go to the end credits to find out which character she was. I was expecting the beautiful woman from the cover of her "Minx" album. Instead, from 1977 I got a sort of chubby teenager playing "Mad", a punk girl with a carot crewcut. Not interesting.
It is a very ambitious movie, and perhaps it should earn points for that. But it is just so poorly conceived. Poorly film, poor sound, attrocious acting, bad timing.
You may like it if you like punk sensibility and garage band production values.
The worst movie i have ever seen
If i could give this movie zero stars, i would. The story (or lack thereof) sounded interesting in principle, but this movie has absolutely nothing of intrest to say to the viewer and fails in every respect. Forget the reviewers who tell you to purchase this if at least for the punk legends who act in it, who cares if Adam Ant is in it when youre just going to be bored to tears the whole way through? The film is amateurish beyond belief and i can honsetly say the acting is the worst ive seen in any film, ever.
This is the first time Criterion has let me down, and what a gargantuan let down this movie was. I wonder what on earth they were thinking when they decided to unleash this stinker of a movie on the public. At the risk of sounding like a fascist, I dare say it would have been a much better move to bury every print of this movie in the same landfill they used for the E.T. Atari game back in the 80s than release it on DVD. Let's play pretend for a second and say the actors in this film could actually act - even then every character is so annoying and not one bit likable that the movie would STILL stink. One good thing can be said about it though - The bad acting mixed with the horrible dialogue mixed with the incredibly stupid looking "angel" that shows Queen Elizabeth the future will bring a generous laugh to anyone, that is untill you realize you paid for this $hit. Then you'll probably cry.
Dont waste your money on this, even if youre a fan of punk rock and/or Adam Ant as i am. This is genuinely garbage. My copy of Jubilee is going straight to an auction site.
bye.
