As for the "Wall Street Journal", "Evan Bell failed to surpass the shock of 'perfume' in the director's position, but once again dedicated his highest level of performance in terms of performance."
"USA Today" also conveyed a similar point of view, "The grasp of rhythm has lost the level of Evan Bell before. It's so comprehensive that the whole plot is very draggy and hollow. It's a big miss. Even so, Evan Bell's charisma in acting takes the film up a notch, from **** to worth watching."
On the other hand, "Time" magazine believes that "this film only needs one sentence to evaluate: Come to the cinema!"
"Chicago Sun" believes that "this is a classic work from the script to the soundtrack, from the actors to the plot."
Rolling Stone magazine concluded. "This is an all-round demonstration of Evan Bell's ability, once again dedicated to the level of 'perfume' directing, writing and acting!"
In general, since "The Notebook" and "Mysterious Skin" started Evan Bell's career as a director, he has had a more successful career as a director than an actor, such as in Venice and Cannes. They all won the director's award first. So far, it has only won the best actor in Venice; for example, at the awards ceremony in the United States, "Little Miss Sunshine" won the Gotham Award for Best Picture of the Year, and last year's "Perfume" was even more popular throughout the awards season. The performance is exceptional, but in terms of actors, Evan Bell is only the best actor trophy for a comprehensive awards ceremony at the Golden Globe Awards.
This time is no exception, and the praise after "Perfume" has continued to "Wild Survival", giving full praise to Evan Bell's control and theme excavation.
Evan Bell once reflected on himself, is it because he has seen these movies in his last life, it is still beneficial to the director's position, on the other hand, his accumulated experience in two lifetimes has a better understanding of the director's position. It is very profound, so this makes his achievement in directing faster. But Evan Bell is just thinking about it, because he knows very well that no matter how much advantage you have, if you don't work hard and don't fight, then the advantage will not be able to be transformed into victory, waiting for the day when his advantage disappears. Then the waiting is to fall from the cloud to the bottom. Therefore, Evan Bell will never put all his hopes on the memory of his last life. He still has to rely on his own efforts to create a world.
Judging from the current results, Evan Bell's efforts are still very good.
After "Wild Survival" came out at this year's Toronto Film Festival, it has won a lot of love from the media and audiences, which is good news for the promotion of "Wild Survival" in North America. However, the Toronto Film Festival is not an awards ceremony venue, but more of a stage for display. Therefore, the film festival ended soon, and "Wild Survival" did not win any awards. This year's People's Choice Award It was won by David Cronenberg's new work "Murder of the Giant Tower", and Evan Bell's "Wild Survival" ranked in the 1696th chapter with the total votes. After the curtain came to an end, the eleventh issue took advantage of Toronto's good reputation and directly Introduced "wilderness survival" to the North American market. It can be seen from this move that in fact, Evan Bell did not deliberately adjust his release rhythm in line with the pace of the awards season, and the maverick of Eleven Studio was once again demonstrated.
Of course, on the other hand, "High School Musical 2" is still being released. Although it has not stayed in the top ten, Eleven Studio has released a brand new work, which can also be felt. Eleven The number of studio releases is also steadily increasing.
Last year, "Perfume" was released on October 13th, and it also returned from the Toronto Film Festival, and together with "The Departed", they staged a good show that started hand in hand at the beginning of the awards season and reached the end together to decide the final thin ice victory; This year, "Wild Survival" will be released a full three weeks earlier, and will start screening in the United States on September 21, so this time, "Wild Survival" will perform in awards season again - even if Evan Bell doesn't care but the media will inevitably pay attention to the focus.
Nominated for the acting award for five consecutive years, nominated for the best director for three consecutive years, and completed the screenwriting and soundtrack divisions for two consecutive years. There is no reason for the media to ignore Evan Bell's record in the awards season. And Evan Bell is also a model of box office, word of mouth and awards since the beginning of the 21st century, which is really a special place. This time, "Wild Survival" has won such high praise at the Toronto Film Festival again, and people naturally have more expectations.
Thomas Lansing finally set the release date of "Wild Survival" on September 21, which was actually well thought out. First of all, this work that only invested 10 million US dollars, and it is such a maverick subject, it is very difficult to perform at the box office; secondly, Evan Bell does not care about the awards season. It is also one of the key points, but this year, "Wild Survival" successfully signed up for the Gotham Awards. Last year's "Perfume" was rejected by the Gotham Awards because of its strong commercial atmosphere and too large investment. Evan Bell is still very good this year. I hope to reach the Gotham Awards again; finally, Toronto's good reputation is also good news for "Wild Survival". From September 1696, the title of Best Actor has been highly anticipated; and in twenty-five cinemas The "Austin Book Club" that is being broadcast is also a highly anticipated Oscar-related work.
So, even in the cold September, the competition is fierce. However, for "Wild Survival", which was only screened in four theaters, there was no pressure.
