StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Ploydsge just watch it!
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Nelson Strang Dull and more dull. I expected so much more from this team. About as interesting as watching other people's home movies of that self-catering weekend they spent on that deserted island.
Ian It's slow-paced although much of the content is interesting enough to keep you watching. A second hand on the tiller would have improved the script and direction - yes writer/director again, although he doesn't do a bad job and it is based on a book - but it's worth persevering with if you like a weepie drama.It's a fascinating look at moral choices and the decisions people make. In this case, the decisions are made by the various story members but you might want to ask yourself what you'd do in the same situation.The two leads a superb - Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander - and the scenery is wonderful and atmospheric.Not a movie I'd watch again and you have to like a particular type of movie to enjoy it but give it a whirl and see what you think.
speedcanary A touching story from the beginning, it had me connecting for quite a while. The tragedies suffered by the couple were sad and could be relatable to people trying to start families. The moral questions that this movie raises are controversial. Desperate times, desperate measures, and karma, forgiveness....all these are in there. I found the acting powerful from both Fassbender and Vikander...but I feel the slow pace of the film and the melodramatic second half caused the movie to suffer.
Andres-Camara Not that I expected much of this movie, but it has given me little. It is too long and as cold as your picture. In addition photography, when illuminated through the windows, sheds so much light that leaves the actors who look like ghosts.The actors are great, but I do not know why he does not get into the movie.It's one of the worst pictures I've ever seen in American cinema, it does not count, it does not transmit anything, it's ugly and it puts too much light on the windows.The direction is so bad, that often does not know or frame. The planes are ugly and often do not make sense.Of course, I did not expect the end that has, I was surprised in that aspect.
