Bob S @RT71971692 Jul 13 A cuckold caught in an arrogant and snide script that postulates the answer to mortality is alcoholism, sex, drugs and running away.

An absolute stunning performance, a remarkable feat of exploration of the human condition… even at the end. Be prepared to feel desperate for more, but completely satisfied with what you are given. See more Giorgio G @GioBlob Jun 23 Johnny Depp is the most chameleon of all actors. Needless to say that he plays his part absolutely perfect. The story, though somehow sad, is also an ode to life, and a kick into everybody's ass to get up and live life to the fullest. And this movie is exactly about this kind of person, those 98% of the world population, who all might have big dreams never to be fulfilled, living on the bare minimum of the meaning of life itself. And I am not talking about financials here. Sometimes we all might just need a shove in the right direction, others might need a real kick in the butt to wake up and start living. After all, we all have only about 40-45 years of free adult life, before our bodies become to bristle to really enjoy it all as we should have in the first place. Let's all take a look at Richard in this movie (Johnny) and copy a bit of his new attitude to life, not to death, before it might simply be too late. 9/10 points.

Not funny, not exiting, no hope, just awful. I wished I hadn't watched it. See more Par H @Parhwy Mar 11 Richard Says Goodbye (2019) is a 91-minute-long film I watched on Prime in March 2026. This is a film of two halves in six acts. The chapter font is as beautiful as Depp’s hair. That coif is king. The first half is interesting, entertaining. The second half does what a lot of comedies do: ends in a neat bow. I get it; even Greek comedies ended in a marriage. This film ends with dullness and gutters out with an awful green-screen driving scene. They even ruined Depp’s kingly coif with that icky, sickly green-screen oddness. If you watch this, look out for how much food is on the dinner plates – it’s much. Also, while hors d’oeuvres are still circulating, they are called to tables – where soup is already being eaten. Hey now? Christine Willes (who I’ll forever love as Dolores Herbig from Dead Like Me) gets a brief gig, such joy! This is a whiskey-sipping film where the director and the writer should have been two people not one person. Rewatch? No. Recommend? Yes, only for Depp’s hair. See more Fenon S @Fenz0.8 Mar 7 I don't think this movie gets enough credit. A lot of people see it as just a poor performance, for a side film, by a well-known actor. But I think it really captures the human condition. It shows how, even though humans are beautifully simple, (which may misunderstood) we are also incredibly complex. When we confront our mortality, we break the boundaries of our consciousness, and that’s something more people should recognize. See more Read all reviews
