The Estate

But no more than that. It like reviewer ferguson said, a charade, that easily couldve made a million on a broadway scene, but they took it to the movies, with partial success. Its a harrasment of the rich old men divorcing and marrying young lassies, about infidelity, about step moms and sons, and secret children of dead mistresses, and last but not least the typical fashion of rich young gay men.

Its made in a lifetime style, where every opportunity to get rich is made,and everything is twinkling and shining like a colgate smile so when the sleazy, bored wife and stepson joins force and hires a hitgay to murder the old rich womanizer, things go balluba.

Its a small cast, average production, shallow but witty story and plot, if spanish or french it wouldve been even broader and sharper than this, but its a try, and a small recommend from the grumpy old man.

If dark comedy is your thing, then The Estate is a must-see movie! It does not disappoint, it's got a little bit of everything, suspense, cringe, laughs, romance, and murder. It'll keep you laughing and on your toes, not for the faint of heart. I thought it was thoroughly enjoyable and would highly recommend it.

It's not a bad movie. Of course, it's not a blockbuster but it's still entertaining and definitelly worth watching. Pretty funny, I enjoyed it enough to recommend it.

Imagine if Lifetime tried to make a comedic thriller... This is what that movie would be. Low budget, the writing seems a little off, nothing is quite natural... but for some reason, you sort of like it?

Let's start with the good. Some of this is funny. Like, laugh out loud funny. It seems to waver between over the top, ridiculous satire and legitimate humor thriller. It works a lot better when it sticks to the former. The funny moments are when the movie doesn't take itself seriously.

Now, the bad- everything else. It's objectively not good. It would've been better if it just committed to being a parody. Personally I wouldn't waste your time with it, but there are some fun moments.

Emphasis on the fun. This movie is one of a kind. It teases out thrills from several different perspectives (murder, psycho-sexual, mystery, drama). All of those experiences get tied together from this sense of fun and humor that ties it all together.

The entire time you feel like you are in on the fun and in on the joke but without breaking the 4th wall. The self deprecating humor comes from an original and authentic voice that brings a sense of humanity and humility to the vapid.

Within the humor comes a satire that is a net positive experience for our culture. After leaving this film, you feel light-hearted and happy and more connected across socio economic classes, giggling all the while that it was a goofy medium the solidly delivered.
