Best movie of this year hands down!

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

What I mean by simple is that the story is easily understood, doesn't take too many turns that we might miss and be lost in the middle of the story. It is pretty straightforward and even heartwarming sometimes.The acting is magnificent and Rachel Wood steals the limelight from the very first moment she appears on-screen. The whole movie depicts love and life in a way that we don't usually see being portrayed by Hollywood but one that is much more sincere and natural than the usual passion route most movies take. It is quite easy to enjoy this movie and having watched this by chance on TV, I'm glad I came across it.

I enjoyed the premise of this movie, but it felt like there were pieces missing from the storyline. There wasn't enough backstory on either of the leads, the mother seemed to jump from meeting a stranger to all of a sudden becoming besotted with her, and the films synopsis focused on an arc that was over by the middle of the movie. There is so much that should have been added to the storyline that would made it a bit more likable. The characters were enjoyable, especially Daisy and her naiveté although these characters would have been better received (once again) if the story was fleshed out a bit more. Not a waste of time, but also not a story I'd return to.

This is an interesting story and we didn't want it to end, but the telling of it has several holes and several parts that aren't believable enough to make the telling of the story flow well and to make it great. Would love to see it reworked a bit.They do a great job with the low budget. The cinematography is great. Almost all of the acting is great. The vocab is less than great though. There is an unhealthy helping of "ew" vocab which is just uncool. It would have been fun to hear non-barnyard words in its place.Despite the holes in the story and the vocab, it's definitely worth watching. Scott Speedman and J.K. Simmons are almost always worth watching.

After watching this 2014's title for a couple of minutes, I recognized the German original Barfuss (eng. Barefoot) movie from 2005. And, yep, like I always do... I gave it a chance... But that's just a totally awful movie! Period.Til Schweiger's Barfuss is brilliant. And I'm sorry for the story writer, Stephen Zotnowski, for falling that low with this one. Why would you do that anyway?!?!?!?!American remakes tend to be way worse than the originals.This one is has a screaming sign on it, saying: stop remaking, be original, or popularize European (Japanese, ...) filmmakers instead.
