Fresh and Exciting
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Like the other person said, the film doesn't show just one side of the story. One of the best Lifetime movies of all time. The acting was good and we finally got to see Oscar's bad side.
This killing captured headlines all over the world and dominated news outlets for weeks during the trial. This movie made things clearer by dramatizing the events. Both Pistorius's point of view and what the prosecution think happened are shown. There is a lot of back and forth and maybe there could have been less. Quite an interesting portrait of the couple's relationship and a bit about personality of the hero of disabled sports. In the first part when it's his point of view I felt maybe it was as he said, then when the other perspectives were shown with the prosecution's reconstruction I felt that must have been the way things unfolded. Whatever really happened it made me want to check out more about the events.The cast is quite okay. It's good they chose South African actor and a European actress for the leads. Not being able to catch everything they said kept things believable.Worth watching.
