Let's be realistic.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Dull and more dull. I expected so much more from this team. About as interesting as watching other people's home movies of that self-catering weekend they spent on that deserted island.
Another movie that could have been very good if there was just one uplifting second. Morose and too moving to be moving, you find yourself shouting at the screen for the story to just hurry up. It's not a complicated story and could have been told in half an hour. Too many short scenes that should have been a lot longer and far, far too many long scene that could have been told in minutes. I haven't read the book so I don't know if any sub plots were taken out to facilitate this piece of hard work. I rarely get an hour into a film and give up watching and I didn't for this one. I wish I had.
I thoroughly enjoyed this film and cried like a baby at the end. Ending confused me but I don't think anyone can slate this. Truest heart warming
Not that I expected much of this movie, but it has given me little. It is too long and as cold as your picture. In addition photography, when illuminated through the windows, sheds so much light that leaves the actors who look like ghosts.The actors are great, but I do not know why he does not get into the movie.It's one of the worst pictures I've ever seen in American cinema, it does not count, it does not transmit anything, it's ugly and it puts too much light on the windows.The direction is so bad, that often does not know or frame. The planes are ugly and often do not make sense.Of course, I did not expect the end that has, I was surprised in that aspect.
