Reviews
Alicia I love this movie so much
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Louise A Smalldon As a massive Norman Reedus fan I was stoked to watch this film. Have to say that I really enjoyed the story line and it made me sympathize with the main characters. I thought it would be hard to split Daryl and Diego however Norman Reedus made the viewer believe Diego's story line. Of course at the end i did blubber like a baby. But all in all the film was enjoyable; however I don't think I will watch this again, it was too heart rendering at the end. I would recommend this to others.
climbyourarms Daryl fans everywhere, be prepared to hate me. We can officially say, Norman Reedus has lost his identity and has personified Daryl Dixon. DD has taken over, they are now inseparable. I will give this film credit for its artistic quality and beautiful setting, but the plot was boring and characters were way too cliché and predictable. First and most importantly, Daryl... I mean Diego, is a scruffy d-bag loner who lives in the high desert, never seems to shower and uses a gun, only he's not a good shot. He might have just walked off the TWD set, hopped on a plane and shot this movie, he even kept his greasy emo hair and used the same wardrobe. His character is DD the whole way. I was surprised that his brother in this movie wasn't named Mel, or something close. The plot "gave away the farm" too soon. Romi found out that her husband wasn't dead 1/3 of the way into the film, right when I was beginning to really feel the terror and bleakness of life on the run. Daryl/Diego could have still swooped in and they could have had their little fling all while hiding out, would have done wonders for the plot and would have affected little else. Afterward, I lost all sympathy for her, nor did I think her character empowered women to be free, rather the opposite. She was just bumbling around trying to find a bad boy to nail her. Mission accomplished.The medicine woman... a sweet old native American lady that names Romi "Sky" and tells her that she is going to produce baby Dixon, despite losing several babies in the past. She was so stereotypical, it almost seemed like a slap in the face to Native Americans everywhere. At least they didn't make her a drunk. The only compelling, unique acting was that of Lena Dunham. And I can't believe I'm saying it, because I can't stand her. She played the role of trailer trash so well, you would think they pulled some lady out of lot 7 in the same park and told her to play this role, it was that good. Anyway, whatever. I had to leave a review because this movie was so ridiculous, when The BIG ending happened, (I won't spoil it, even though I know you won't care) I was laughing, not crying like intended.Either way, Daryl fans, enjoy some more Daryl, I mean Diego!
roxdog Not seeing any trailer or knowing much of the plot I wasn't sure want to expect. I see others are upset about inaccuracies in the film but overlooking those aspects I was intrigued. It was a bit slow going, but just the kind of movie I enjoy. I loved the film 'Dark Harbor' many years ago (the only film i had seen Reedus in before The Walking Dead) and was expecting quite the same from this film. I would have liked a female character with more ambition and self respect but in the end i think she proved herself. Just waiting to see where the story would take me kept me invested until the end. I hope to see many more reviews in the future to see what others think of this film.
David Ferguson Greetings again from the darkness. {Minor Spoiler} Remember that time you bashed your lover in the head with a lamp, left them bleeding on the floor, and then drove around for 3 days before turning yourself in to the police, confessing to what you assumed was a murder? And then remember how emotionally free you felt when it was discovered that not only was he/she alive, but they didn't even blame you for the head injuries? Well that's exactly what Diane Kruger's character, Romy, goes through during the first part of the film.Romy and her husband Richard (Gilles Lellouche) have traveled to the southwestern United States from their home in Paris. It's pretty clear that their hope is that this vacation will reignite the passion they once had and break them out of their marital slump. A few too many drinks at the bar leads to some unwanted amorous advances, and in the heat of the moment, Romy starts whacking Richard in the head with the lamp.Once she realizes that he survived and she's not going to spend her life in prison for murder, she also decides that she's not going to spend the rest of her life in a dead end marriage – a different kind of prison. Instead, she sets off on a journey of self-discovery. She even mentions how free she is, and can choose her own path.Her self-discover phase takes her to Las Vegas – courtesy of a truck driver played by Lou Diamond Phillips. Within a short period of time, she has befriended a lady (Laurene Landon) who wears a bunny suit in order to pose for pics with tourists. Romy borrows the bunny suit and meets a mysterious cowboy (Norman Reedus) named Diego. It's the relationship between Romy and Diego that dominates the final 2/3 of the film, and though they both create interesting characters, it's a bit of a letdown after the story's set up with the French husband.Lena Dunham has an odd turn as Diego's sister-in-law, and there is a dose of spirituality from Native Americans, but mostly this is Diane Kruger's movie. She seems to be enjoying the wide range of emotions while showing off her talents, and she keeps us interested enough to keep watching … even when the pace slows to a crawl.
