SANS MANIÈRES - MEILLEUR FILM NIGERIEN

source: K-12

I love and support Melanie's creative vision and music, but K-12 was a cluster of lackluster clichés sprinkled with social issue undertones-both of which I'm not the biggest fan of. The acting was sub-par, with only a couple of characters convincing enough to make me believe that this alternate reality was real. This film would have been better off as a series of music videos whose stories bled into one another, as there was really no clear storyline/plot in K-12 either. I do, however, have to give credit where credit is due; the visuals, costume and set design, location, and choreography were very solid and enchanting. You can also clearly tell that Melanie has grown spiritually and that her confidence has raised tremendously-she absolutely shines during the High-school Sweethearts bit! Despite my critique, I do hope that she continues to write and direct; Melanie truly is a breath of fresh air in the music industry and I'd love to see what she is able to execute as the years pass by.

The movie is just kinda bad. I wouldn't say the acting is good, same with the writing, but where it's filmed and all the camerawork is beautiful. There's songs everywhere, and I know it's supposed to be her music videos, but tied together with scenes, but the "film" part runs a little short. Also I didn't love her songs, but maybe that's just me. The plot was cringey and I probably could've came up with a better plot in 30 minutes. As a MM fan I liked it, but if you didn't know her you'd either love it or hate it. The whole thing sounds like a bad high school roleplay you'd see on a kid's site. If you like MM, I recommend this, it adds a lot to Crybaby's storyline, but if not, then maybe not bother.

As a Melanie Martinez fan, the movie isnt really a masterpiece or ''the best movie ever'', the album itself is amazing and the film is like a -very entretaining- visual to it, nothing more. (the film is a 7/10, not the album btw)

It's a musical and the music is absolutely fantastic. Although, I didn't expect the music to take up 90% of the movie. The songs are really enjoyable though even if they all sound a little similar (my personal favorite is the song in the credits, which was the best by far). The actual film part was.. how do I say this.. trash. The concept is amazing. I love that it's trying to give off good themes about how oppressive school can be and then taking it to the extreme. The writing itself seems like it was made in less than a month. It's very fast-paced. I watched this on Youtube, the moment the livestream started, so I could see everyone elses thoughts along with mine. You could not tell it was a movie. People were actually confused because it genuinely looks like little snippets from a longer version. It gives no explanation whatsoever to what was happening. I'm not even sure what happened. You could blink and miss basically all the dialogue in the whole movie. Scenes were random, although most were for foreshadowing (the foreshadowing itself was pretty vague and boring), songs were back to back with no talking in between to show what was happening. The acting was.. eh. It was pretty cheesy but I think the acting was a lot better than the writing. I don't even know who some of the characters are. It doesn't explain it. Who are these people? No idea. Neither does anyone else have a clue. It was boring and I was just waiting for it to get better. The ending was anticlimactic and the cliffhanger was probably one of the worst things by far (I'm ashamed to even call it a cliffhanger). .. the boy eating glue was repulsive. It was like he was making out with it. I'll have that in my memory for the rest of my life. Would I watch this again? No Am I glad I didn't pay to see it? Yes, dear god yes but good job for melanie

If you are a Melanie Martinez fan, I think that you will be blown away by the music (which, to me, sounds more mature and I'm glad that her style has changed a bit, it sounds much better). The costumes are out of this world and the filming place is beautiful. This movie is full of modern issues and I think that it's great for adolescents to watch. It's not hard to understand, even though it is mainly symbolistic. Right now I'm going to talk about what I didn't like. The acting is super cringey at times and I couldn't help but repeat their lines in my head with a better acting. But I think that is understandable. I think that those parts were the door appeared or when you could hear that goddess or whatever it was speaking were kind of forced. We all know that Melanie Martinez likes wicca and all, but I didn't quite understand what those scenes were doing to this movie. Mainly, this movie is full of cliches, but you can't help falling in love with the visuals. That's why my rating is pretty high for the quality of the overall movie.

It's basically a 90 minutes music video with no plot at all! Worst movie ever.

K-12 is just as it says-- an enchanting musical with a unique touch and wonderful aesthetic. I think people should see this film for its wonderful aesthetic and visual representation, but dont watch it expecting good writing and a plot. The musical aspects (songwriting, choreography, and singing) of the film are amazing as usual with Melanie's work, but there are many potential plotpoints in the film itself that are just touched on once and never mentioned again. Some songs made seamless integration into the plot, for example "Wheels on the Bus", but others appeared out of nowhere and brought nothing to the plot, like "Strawberry Shortcake". The movie's timeline is through the school years of Crybaby, but for most of the movie you couldnt tell at all what grade she was in at that time. Along with this, most of the characters are forgettable and dont have defining personality, but hey, at least it looks pretty! I do think that Melanie put too much on her shoulders for this film. She wrote the script, directed, was the lead actress, did all of the songs, and edited the whole thing-- I applaud her for all the effort she went to make this film. For all of this being new to her, I think she did well, but I think that she should take it easy next time. The film left me a little disappointed with more questions than answers, but at least I left the cinema with 14 new bops to add to my playlist.
