For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
An ex-con tries to get back custody of her son with the help of an idealistic young public defender and at the same time falls into a romantic fling with a traumatized former US soldier. Despite the familiar faces and the good perfomances from the cast 'Who We Are Now' goes into familiar dramatic territory that is neither sad or moving it's actually quite boring and it wastes the actors completely since none of the characters are actually developed well and unfortunately they just did not work that well on the script it seems. (5/10)
It's like half the cast was on Law and Order at one time or the other. The movie was good. Just loved the performances by all evolved. It just naturally flowed so perfectly, it was impressive. A true staple of what happens when good actors connect to tell a sto
Spoilers. spoilers. If you enjoy a film where people keep doing stupid things and expect the end result to be positive then this is for you. an example would be when a woman is at a hearing to gain custody of her son, after mouthing off, her lawyer tells her to be quiet. and explains the situation to her. she doesn't listen of course and the end result is not good. she tells people her lawyer screwed up her case. it's like that. is was nice to see jimmy smits though.
It's a real look of how hard life can be and the choices we have to make everyday. Do we want to be right or happy? I thought the acting was fabulous and the story was original. Two thumbs up
