Far Harbor (1996)

Such a frustrating disappointment

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

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

because it's a pure stinker that nobody wants to watch ! OK i didn't have the subtitles so i couldn't grasp the conversations but here the summary of what i have understood: a group of friends are in vacations in a cottage near a lake : they prepare a meal, they eat it, they have a coffee break while Jenny speaks about a baby; then, they become obsessed by the yacht anchored in the lake : one guy swims to it and gets hurt ! Jenni reaches it by taking a boat and that's it ! So during 70 minutes, it's a plain, it's a drag ! Nothing happens, there is no tension, no talent behind the camera ! Like all the talkative movies, they fail to be interesting because instead of shooting the stories, they shoot the teller ! So maybe someone will find it a masterpiece but for me it's among the worst movies Jenny ever did !

...helps one to fall asleep. I've no idea what this film is about, except that it is several whiny 20-30 somethings together... including the obligatory minority who is one of three decent actors in the piece (though you wouldn't know it watching this)... and something to do with a screenplay. The dialogue (delivered as if reading from the script) is mostly about how misery loves company, 'gosh i feel really sorry about myself', and lets make the audience feel the same unless they're already put to sleep by the soft lulling of acoustic guitar...There's a ship floating in the water, one guy tries to swim to it and he hurts his foot... oh oops that 's the end... That pretty much sums up the whole thing.

I saw the movie... Oh my God... parts of it, because half of the time I was fighting against sleeping...The only thing that I take out of that crap is the great performer Jennifer Connelly....I would like to ask her agent why he (or her) scheduled a film like FAR HARBOR ....It`s a another pill like MELATONINE.....Thank you.

Without going into to many details of the movie, I will say it's one of those movies which was a nice surprise. I think it's one movie for Jennifer Connelly, where it shows that she's a really great actress. It's also not like a lot of her movies, where she's just the beautiful women. She's warm, lovable, and she draws you into her character. The rest of the cast is really good also, but I think this is Jennifer's movie. I watched this movie, over & over a number of times, and I have to say I love it more each time I see it! It's just about friends getting together, in a house with a special person on a boat docked, close to them. They all have issues to deal with, and this get together brings it all to a head. Just take my word, you will love this movie. For me it's the kind of movie I felt was a special gift that was given to me. Rent, or buy it. It's well worth it!
