Summary: Only in NZ cinemas for a limited time!! Never on VHS/DVD !
Review: I was thrilled when the SPCS lost their bid to have this movie rejected for the fourth time, and the judge apparently made them like like the ignorant, bible thumping pack of hypocrites they are. (Apparently the leader of the SPCS has to sell his house in order to pay his legal bill. He's not getting any sympathy from me).
Anyway I saw the movie this morning and didn't really see what the fuss is about. The basic plot resembles a cross between THELMA AND LOUISE and I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE. Two women, one a prostitute and one a porn star are both brutally gang raped (in explicit sexual detail) by a band of thugs and then set out on a nationwide killing spree, seducing and murdering men in general whle hunting down their degraders. The movie has a very grainy porn film type feel (the lead actresses are also porn stars)and the violence is sickening, in fact I felt rather queasy watching BAISE MOI, it makes I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE (which to my knowledge is still banned in NZ) look like a PG-13 teen horror flick.
Is the movie any good? Not really, I would not want to see it again, and it ranks as one of the most disturbing films I have ever seen, and I am glad that NZ filmgoers had the brief opportunity to see it and form their own opinions on it. To anyone who goes to see BAISE MOI, my advice is proceed with extreme caution and be aware of the content and what you will be in for. As for the SPCS I hope we've seen the last of them and their pathetic dogma. We don't need them to hold our hands for us, and nobody appointed them. David Lame has said that the SPCS is just a "community watchdog" and that it "barks" when it senses danger. He is a liar and a total hypocrite. Go and see this movie just to make him feel more stupid than he already does. As for the biased SPCS they can get baised.

Summary: Infinite Inhumanity Meets Infinite Stupidity
Review: Nobody should watch this movie. No, that is not a reverse-psychological invite to view the movie - it is a vile, grotesque, inhuman, degrading movie, lacking all common sense, all logic, all ethics, all morals. It is blatently crude and has no redeeming social importance what-so-ever.

Summary: The only thing shocking about this film...
Review: ...is the fact that it has recieved so many accolades and attention... this is not cutting-edge, nor feminist, nor a melding of porn and mainstream film-making...it is a boring, brutal (in most cases cartoonish), badly made waste of time and money. don't get me wrong, i am not averse to sex or violence (even graphic) in films. and certainly, i understand that the film is trying to somehow portray institutionalised violence and the subjectification of women inherent in our society...its just that this film doesn't pull it off. it is poorly edited, acted, filmed and written. it is boring and unsexy (hopefully intended). it plays like a high school film project in tone and execution (pardon the pun). the rape scene is nasty, but the rest of the movie serves to undermine the power which that scene had established. the more i think about this film, the more i waste my time...if you have just read this entire review...sorry for wasting yours. and if you absolutely must see baise moi, be sure not to spend ANY money on doing so.

Summary: Resist the temptation...it doesn't deliver.
Review: For those of us who harbor secret fantasies about noncompliance, the title of this movie was almost impossible to resist, especially after all the controversy it inspired. It did not live up to what I was expecting at all...I lost interest long before it was over, and it is not a lengthy film. I was not expecting great art or great cultural value, but I was expecting more emotion, more reality in the action and the dialogue. It has plenty of graphic sex, but any porn flick offers that. If you are looking for something wildly different and shocking with at least a little eroticism, look elsewhere; Baise-Moi doesn't come through.

Summary: dillo's reviews from down under
Review: For a film to deal with the proffered subject matter as Baise Moi has done, you do expect some harsh and unpleasant sections to crop up. However, Baise Moi seems to have rejected all attempts at a coherent/plausable storyline in favour of constant gross shock. Production is smooth, and the camera work is very good, but it does all seem a bit sensless, reeling from one abasement to another, without even lipservice to rationality. If you want to see explicit sex, save your mon, hon, and buy some genuine XXX which usually has at least an attempt at a storyline.

Summary: Horrid - Skip it
Review: Terrible revolting film. This movie is a disgusting third class "controversial wannabe". For those who want to see quality cutting-edge filmaking see Kissed, Crash, or Breaking the Waves---even In the Realm of Senses. Try not to get conned into watching this; or if you do see it, do so for the sole purpose of studying how not to make a movie.

Summary: Baise-off
Review: Well as if there aren't enough reviews but I just can't resist. Controversial? Yes - in the same way pornography and extreme violence are always controversial. Challenging? Yes - giving the film a chance and not turning it off after 20 minutes because it is so boring. Pioneering? A new and untapped level of tedium and crass shock tactics? No, tedium and crassness that can be seen in any low budget porn film that tries to take itself seriously. Am I missing the point? No, there really wasn't one.

Summary: ... et moi !
Review: What can I say....often described as Triple-X "Thelma & Louise" but forget that fancy art house rubbish this is just porn and bad porn at that. The idea of a film with a plot and no boundaries is a great one especially for the anti-censorship supporters, including myself, but this is not the way to start, however maybe a step in the right direction. No surprise it's the French who take the lead. Certainly worth a look but be warned this is hard stuff.
