A Cure for Wellness (2017)

Redundant and unnecessary.

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

The acting in this movie is really good.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

There are elements of Batman Returns,Shutter Island and B-horror films here. overall, the originality is appreciated as is the body and breasts of the nubile girl. What is not so appreciated is the major dilemma of how all of this could happen with no authority or patient objecting. Nonetheless, i say 'watch it.'

The cinematography was stunning! Beautiful locations and amazingly creative shots awed me multiple times throughout the film. While the story itself reminded me of other films it kept me watching until the very end. I was a bit confused with the overall premise but definitely thought the film was worth watching! Maybe even a second time to connect the dots.

I love horror and suspense, and I am in love with beautiful camera work. This film delivers a competent standard horror/thriller product, but there were so many times when I wanted more. The sanitarium in the mountains, with an evil leader who bears strange resemblance to the pieces of history that we pick up along the way, is stuffed with twists and turns that you can anticipate.The young tender girl who accompanies him to the town, for instance -- did anyone not know from the start what her character was all about?Pembroke is a broken and empty human being. What good could he do if he returned to the company in New York? He is a lost cause from the start. This is not logical.There are a dozen cliche-driven characters in this film, and I got tired of the scenes trying to create suspense by purposely dragging out the "scary" moments. Even the beautiful camera work got on my nerves after a while. Sure, center things and move the camera slowly forward -- do tons of reaction shots of our hero looking baffled -- return to the object, in the center of the screen again, and inch forward -- another reaction shot -- this could take up my whole life.I'm giving it six out of ten because is it competent, moderately intelligent, and the scenery and sets are beautiful. But I kind of knew from the start where the story was taking us, and I am tired of this.

The heading say´s it all. The movie is slow to get going and never really picks up the pace. Now for the story line, one, who thought up "this one" and two, who on earth thought it was a good enough story to make a movie. I have to say I would question the sanity of the people who funded this venture. We did watch it right through but it was borderline, take our advice and leave this one on the shelf. Not retained for future viewing.
