Rodney H Loved it!!! Yeah, it maybe talks down to you, but dude’s a philosophy professor so that’s pretty much his job. Every actor/actress really owns their role and I found this a compelling watch with plenty of food for thought as well. Best of all - highly entertaining and the whole thing whizzes by before you know it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/15/24 Full Review Audience Member In "Anesthesia," Nelson attempts to explore life and the ways people tend to detach themselves from it, but eventually find connection through a series of loosely interconnected characters. The main problem is, the film doesn't spend enough time developing any of them beyond just scratching the surface, instead devolving into long self-reflective speeches with nothing much new to say on the matter. However, this cast is packed with talented and recognizable faces, but unfortunately, the thin script doesn't give them much to do, no matter how hard they try. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved it and the character Sophie portrays teenage struggles and self harm quite well. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review steve d Too many fine actors with no time to develop their characters and nothing for them to do. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The big problem is that this movie is going to condescend to you. It's going to use big words and have high concept conversations for no real reason other than to deliver the characters as the types of people that would have those conversations when they could easily have more meaningful simpler conversations, implying that the audience for this movie is intended for those people. That message is immediately lost on the wide variety of characters as this is a multi-threaded story (think "Love, Actually") and situations that we're supposed relate to on behalf of the characters. There is a slew of faces you might recognize, among them Hannah Marx and Kristen Stewart. Most of the acting is well done for what they were given. The movie, while not technically intensive, is shot extremely well, and of nothing else the movie is well balanced with an almost perfect use of "starting with the ending", seriously it comes together beautifully. While I did enjoy the movie somewhat, its more out of respect for the overall composition that I'd rate it highly. It's hard to recommend it outside of academic purposes, and I don't think I'd watch it again. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Great cast.
