The movie "Anesthesia" when it premiered have mixed reviews, though most of its feedback are leaning towards the negative. It is one well-made independent film, complete with a representation of how each and everyone is interconnected, but lacks in some aspects to make it a total package.
The independent movie stars Hollywood big stars like Kristen Stewart and Glenn Close who did a stellar performance in the film. However, some reviews say that the characters, in general, don't seem to connect. It is interesting that a year later, the movie "Anesthesia" did not make much impact.
The movie "Anesthesia" can be compared to others that used interconnectivity to present its interesting twists and turns but this may not have fared well. What's good is that there are also movie critics who have good things to say about the movie. They may not be raving entirely, but at least encouraging enough to convince moviegoers to watch.
From Rotten Tomatoes data, the movie only scored 29 percent with 38 reviews counted. The number of reviews is expected to grow more when more moviegoers and critics get the opportunity to watch. Hopefully by then, the average may have been pulled up. However, the given data is indicative that movie may stay in the lower range of the ranking.
Speaking of characters generally not connected, Molly Eichel of Philadelphia Encounter and top critic focused on that. The critic said that the movie Anesthesia's irony is that while it uses interconnectivity as a storytelling mechanism, the characters don't really connect.
John Hartl of Seattle Times and top critic has good praise to actress Kristen Stewart. He believes that she is the reason for the movie to be at least engaging to watch. The critic said Stewart stands out because her one big scene seems so passionate and genuine that it's the only moment that "Anesthesia" is working.
As added by IMDb, the movie also stars Sam Waterston as Walter Zarrow, Ivan Goris as Ignacio, Rob Morgan as Parnell, Corey Stoll as Sam, Mickey Sumner as Nicole, and many more. When 2016 opened, moviegoers were treated to a good performance from Kristen Stewart from this movie. Now that it's 2017, moviegoers are expecting to see more of her in films.
