Lily & Kat (2015)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Blistering performances.

The only thing I liked about this movie was the music and some of the pictures. Standing pictures. The whole concept of the movie is based on the situation between those girls. Lily isn't really played by a strong actress, so the opposition to Kat has completely failed. The storyline itself is not exciting, not gripping, not very meaningful. It is a story about girls in the beginning of their twens. From my own experience I can say, that they are barely adults and that is what dominates this movie. Unrational, childish behavior. And how this plays out over the whole picture, and how it is made and woven is, subsequently observed, very poor. I would have liked the movie without the conversations and without the video. Just the music and some art-like looking stills. That would have been enough. No ground breaker, no beautiful background or relationships. Just poor judgment, despair and a little failure. Do we really need that in a medium, that is kinda supposed to let us escape from that darned reality? I almost couldn't stand it till the end. But I wanted to see, if at least that was somehow resolving or meaningful. But it wasn't. A total waste of time.

Two Girls. One, an artiste, the other a hedonist. There are best friends. Lily is American, Kat is British. Lily finds out Kat is moving to London. She's not happy. Lily also hates her job. Her cheating boyfriend.And apparently, life in general. Kat just pops some pills. Gets drunk. And sleeps with everyone who has a pulse. They have a threesome with a graphic designer. Don't worry, kids... The lights go out before things get TOO raunchy. So, the only possibly good scene in the film... RUINED.I didn't care about any of these people. Their tawdry lives. Their insignificant worries. Their non-existent development. Worst of all were the scenes where Lily talks to a fictitious psychiatrist in her head... I haven't heard such a bunch of fortune cookie psychobabble masquerading as useful advice in all my life. A complete waste of time then. Do drive home safely. 4/10

Lily & Kat drips with Generation Z cynicism from its directorial style, to its characters, to the hopeless insignificance of it all.Ridiculously current and screaming of 2015, Lily & Kat is a film about the relationship of two New York City females.As a film, there is not much to the highly unfocused plot nor is there any redeeming qualities in the reprehensibly self indulgent lead characters Lily or Kat. Loosely, Lily & Kat is about Lily (Jessica Rothe) as she comes to grips with her life as a nightlife hopping fashion grad turned near adult. Kat (Hannah Murray) is her best friend, a Brit with no aspirations who decides to drop Lily and Manhattan and return to her roots in London.As a film viewer, I can be quite forgiving of incorrigibly lazy and delinquent characters. In fact sometimes I even welcome it, as long as there is the balance of an impacting story or original conflict, which there is not. Micael Preysler fails to examine and explore the girls' relationships in any facet besides showcasing the events during Kat's final week in the States. The narrative is as empty as the characters themselves lacking wit and insight.Lily & Kat showcases everything that is wrong with New York City nowadays. Lily and Kat incessantly whine and boast with conceited ramblings of their pretentiously grandiose stories about their insignificant lives, constant club hopping and drug taking from boredom. Again, there is no problem with that in itself, I am a huge fan of Party Monster and other movies with similar characters. It's just Lily & Kat is terribly superficial and painfully uninteresting, and clearly a freshmen attempt at film making.Please check out our website for full reviews of all the recent releases.

It's the first movie I saw that takes a very strong position against what everyone else is hyping: the emptiness of over-sexualized, pretty and nevertheless un-inspired women. Almost every scene seems to try to put forward some form of eroticism that the actresses realistically show. But contrary to common movies, this movies does not make it pretty, nothing happens and truthfully nobody cares. It is re-definition of what it means to be pretty, over-sexualized and again .. uninspired.I mean, there is nothing that should turn the viewer off. The dresses are elegant, the women appear funny and are certainly looking pretty. But there is simply no magic in their lives anywhere. They are plain boring and it is a paid to imagine having to live with any person in this movie for longer than 10 seconds. So I think the movie is artistic in some respect.
