That was an excellent one.
Powerful
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
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.
I don't know how this movie got such high rated reviews, maybe we watched different films, but in ny opinion it failed in several different ways. The writing is cheesy and the acting is awful. The only person whose acting was believable was the Neil character, everyone else around him was just reading a script. Even her pretending to be a doctor was cringeworthy to watch.
This is the first review I write for a movie just to warn you so do not waste your time/money.My wife and I just came out from the movie. We chose this movie because it was in a nearby theater, its story line seemed intriguing and it had high IMDb score. However, it was a total bust. We both find the movie dull and acting was so horrible.There is no way that you believe any part of the so called romance that the movie supposed to have. We rather have chosen the movie for its potential mystical story line. However, even the "OK" suspense you feel during the movie is not good enough to watch this movie. I believe its IMDb rating will decrease very soon.
Lily is a young girl who survives a car accident and wakes up confused, married for a man she doesn't love and having a son she can't remember. Although her husband is not completely unknown to her, according to her memories, she has a boyfriend Neil, who is a doctor, and her current husband was actually his rival. But what complicates the situation is that even her parents are saying that her memories are not real, and a consequence of trauma after the car accident. Everyone around are trying to convince her, that Neil is a product of her imagination. The movie was an exciting ride, a clever and unpredictable romance with some elements of thriller, where it was hard to know the truth until the end. The acting was spot on, the story believable and I got very emotional at the end. I give this movie a strong 9!!
With Pali Road, Jonathan Lim delivers a love mystery that leaves you walking away still thinking of the film and the story. Pali Road stars Michelle Chen, Jackson Rathbone, Sung Kang, and Henry Ian Cusick with breathtaking scenery of Hawaii taking you on an emotional-charged journey of the heart and mind. Originally scheduled for two showings at the 2015 Hawaii International Film Festival (HIFF), Pali Road and HIFF opened a third showing by popular response from the Honolulu community. Pali Road should be a sure thing in its nominations for the Halekulani Golden Orchid Award for Best Narrative as well as for its cinematography and performances. It's a definite must-see when it becomes available in theaters and online.
