Rating:  - A training ground for DeNiro!?!?...Please the man is a natural
This movie is so crazy. Hi, Mom asks a great deal from the viewer, and offers little in return. It includes frequent tonal shifts, abrupt changes in generic gear. It begins as an urban farce, transforms into slightly meditative romantic comedy, then, by turns, social satire, and domestic comedy. A viewer could be forgiven for feeling slightly whip-lashed by the film's violent conclusion.
Robert De Niro stars (his third De Palma movie) as a Vietnam vet who becomes obsessed with 16mm filmmaking ... Read More
Rating: - Brian DePalma's artistry is incredible
WOW! I am a long time Deniro fan but had never heard of this film. My immediate reaction after watching this was "How did I miss this awesome film with my favorite actor?"
Deniro exudes confidence in this role and seems to really get into character. I expected his performance to not be quite as polished in these early stages of his career, but he nails it cold.
He stars as Jon, a kind of disillusioned ex-soldier trying to become an erotic filmmaker. He films his neighbors through the window ... Read More
Rating:  - [No 0 star rating] An Unbelievably Stupid Film
Reading the posted reviews here, is like revisting the ballessssss white liberals who are portrayed in this preschool-level, skewered portrayal of the 60's. White = BAD (you can finish the equation.)
For those considering Hi, Mom whether for purchase or rental, be sure to watch it with your (white) wife and then project her into DePalma's puerile depiction of a liberal couple, attending an all black drama (except for DeNiro who conveniently is portraying the viscious hunky cop). Then witness her ... Read More
Rating:  - Funny and Weird
The second bizarre hippy satire from a young Brian DePalma (the first being Greetings), and featuring a remarkably spontaneous Robert DeNiro as a young Viet Nam vet new in the city and looking for work. The film (while noticeably dated), is practically an act of radicalism in itself as DeNiro boyishly tries to seduce his neighbors while simultaneously filming the act from his apartment to turn it into a work of explosive pornography. DePalma is clever here; he manages to transform the neighboring windows into ... Read More
Rating: - Amusing Dark Comedy
In essence this film is a sequel to DePalma's earlier film, "Greetings" with Robert DeNiro's character returning from that film. The humor here is more macabre and at times it seems to be provocative for the sake of being provocative. There are also moments of outright brilliance. One is a sequence where a group of black radicals conduct a play where the audience, a group of white liberals, experience the feeling of being black in America. DePalma utilizes some interesting editing and cinematography techniques, ... Read More
