Paper Year (2018)

Did you people see the same film I saw?

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

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

The basis of the film is off of two protagonist a writer and an actor, female and male respectively. However to call the actor a protagonist may be an exaggeration as the narrative is driven heavily forward by the female/writer leaving the actor to some what like just a supportive medium. The begining is slow and the narrative is lackful yet purposefully or accidentally the viewer is still engaged with the melodramatics of the newly wed couple. The acting is not a masterclass but is complimentary to the film itself and provides an almost intermediate vibe about the film.The narrative and development is somewhat underwhelming with many key focus points simply being brushed over with lack of attention, scenes which seemed focused on do little to leave an impact as the next scene rushes in. Overall the film is nothing spectacular and could be described as nothing more than underwhelming, however the potential for it to be an innovation in the romance/drama genre is ever present. A greater focus on key scenes and further character development of everybody apart from the female lead would of likely benefited this film paramount.

I enjoyed this movie thoroughly. Although classified as a ROMCOM there is basically no comedy in this. It is a depressing look at how so many relationships end up. The acting was superb, the directing was above average and the lessons learned and note worthy.Over all I would say 7.5

Young newlyweds encounter a series of challenges during the first year of their marriage. I do admire the story that this film tries to send about the every day struggles of young couples and how easily they can be seduced unfortunately 'Paper Year' did not transfered that good on screen. The actors do an alright job with the script that was handed to them but they could have done better i'm sure of that plus fans of Andie MacDowell will definitely be disappointed since her screen time is limited in about 4 to 5 minutes which i found it to be very disappointing considering the fact of how good of an actress she is. Overall a really disappointing romance drama about love and cheating. (4/10)

Going in thought that it would be a typical rom-com with a dumb ending.But it explores the relationship of a young couple who dive into marriage impulsively without much thought put into it.The movie has light and dark moments and its entertaining as well with a apt ending.Both the leads give commendable performances and its an intelligent movie worth seeing
