6 Years (2015)

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

No sense movie, don't watch it. They are 6 years in relationship and they act like that... omg

Written and directed by Hannah Fidell, 6 Years is about a young couple on the verge of college graduation. Hence the title, they have been together for six years. Things start out all right, however, a mix of new opportunities, bad decisions, and violence put their relationship, and their plans for the future to the test.While some teens and possibly some twenty year old may find a way to connect with the movie and with its storyline about broken relationships and complicated love, the overall product of the movie just feels very mediocre. The plot is plain. Not much seem to happen throughout. The movie is centered around an abusive relationship, and not the kind you are used to hearing about. Over the course of the movie, the fighting gets worse, which brings you to a very predictable ending. There isn't much to the story behind the characters, which doesn't make them all that interesting. They are your average "high school sweetheart" couple that's been together forever. They are just having fun and are trying to make it through college by doing the things that any college student around the country would do; get drunk, go to parties, and figure out what it is they want to do with their lives. The acting throughout the film is just like anything you would expect from this sort of movie. One of the main characters, Melanie Clark, is played by Taissa Farmiga, who is known for her role in the FX television series American Horror Story. Farmiga captures the role of a young woman very well. Whether its because of her experience on American Horror Story, or simply because she is one, she knows what she's doing. Farmiga's co-star, Ben Rosenfield, who plays Melanie's longtime boyfriend, Dan Mercer, delivers his character in a pretty average way. As for the supporting cast, they aren't anything special. Mel's friends consist of people attending college parties and drinking, so no real talent need there. As for Dan, he has his record label friends. None of which deliver a "wow" performance. Farmiga's delivery was seemingly convincing throughout the movie. She really embodies the actions and emotions that her character is feeling reacts in a way anyone would given her character's situation.Although this movie has some aspects that are done poorly, there are others that are done well. Young people of the world have raved about this movie, the love they have for it, and how much they are able to connect with it.

After waiting a year to see this film, and being excited for it, the wait totally paid off. I'm a huge fan of Taissa, and follow all of her work, I have fan accounts on social media dedicated to her, and the fanbase for her was really looking forward to this film, and enjoyed it very much so. It has great performances by Taissa, Ben, Lindsay, Joshua, and much more of the cast. The film has somewhat negative reviews, but clearly this is one of my favorite films, and I really enjoy Hannah's work. The soundtrack to the film is amazing, it includes songs such as ''Drive'' by LolaWolf, Lindsay Burdge and Ben Rosenfield sing ''Indian Summer'', which was a great cover in my opinion. I really throughly enjoyed the film, and would recommend it to a friend or family member. Check it out if your bored on Netflix or searching for a film to watch on VOD.

I thought the acting in this film was incredible. All of the actors really engaged you and it was as though you were almost there. The authenticity of the film was really good and it was so realistic- a couple that both clearly want their relationship to work but just seem to be headed in different directions. Considering the actors on this film are fairly new, the acting was amazing and I would definitely, 100% watch it again. I would recommend this film to anyone as it was just so believable to watch and you really felt as though Taissa and Ben were actually upset, angry and guilt-ridden. Their emotions said it all and I would definitely watch it again.
