Somewhere may be a good movie or story hidden, but I wasn't able to filter it out of all the redundant noise. The humorousness scenes did most of the time not work for me, also there is at least one hour that you could easily cut and it would improve the affair a lot. Till we get on the ship we get bored to death with a lot of mostly useless and unnecessary scenes after scenes. The commentaries on society and capitalism, well, have the depth and subtlety of an election flyer of some left-wing party. And last but not least, some of the scenes and dialogues are really cringe-worthy. Well, if you try to make art, there is always the possibility to fail.

I dislike this film. It's boring and random and one of the few films where I, personally, thought that the acting was stale. The overall movie is so much about "delivering the message" that plot nosedives and ends up becoming bland. The story is not predictable, in a bad way. Just when you think that something interesting might take place or that an intriguing mystery will get revealed, the plot continues to move straightforward with the most obvious decisions. There's no subtleness nor any metaphors, this movie could've been shown as historical fiction docu-drama and I would've believed it cause the actual script reads like an edgy guy who just saw a couple of videos on different economical theories and decided to become Marxist or Socialist. And the characters are shallow (which I guess was the point) and have almost no character development. Additionally, the actors themselves are just not feeling into it (especially the lead actors that play Carl and Yaya). And the ending wasn't good too. Again, as I stated in the title, too on the nose and too hellbent on pushing the same message down the throat of the audiences, who I'm pretty sure will have gotten it by end of act 2. Overall, don't know how or why this film is generating Oscar buzz, it certainly felt nowhere close to it. It's pretentious to its core and exhibits no sense of either fun or maturity, If you want to see a film that actually delivers this same message tastefully and with more fun, skip this and watch The Menu. 3 stars for a couple of chuckles here and there. Not recommended.
