ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Inmechon The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Asma Alkaabi This movie has left me mesmerized that I had to watch twice more. It absolutely shocked me after I knew that Wentworth Miller wrote it. The directing and filming of the movie were both unique and aesthetically pleasing. What I liked most about it was the unpredictable plot. India Stoker is a girl with a strong hearing gift. Her uncle Charlie who she never knew about came to live at their house after the death of her father. I wouldn't recommend watching it with someone or with a group just because it's a movie that requires your focus and concentration or you're gonna miss it big time. It's somewhat funny that the whole movie was like a plot twist. Definitely a must-watch!

Parker Lewis Chan-wook Park's English language debut has three Australians in the cast: Nicole Kidman, Mia Wasikowska, and Jackie Weaver. Jackie experienced a major career resurgence (and two Oscar nominations) after starring in Animal Kingdom.British actor Matthew Gould also features in this movie, so quite a multicultural cast on hand for this moody and atmospheric movie.If you're into fast and furious cars or mixed martial "arts", then Stoker isn't for you. Please give up your cinema seat for someone else who will appreciate the many layers of Stoker. There's no happy ending as such, so be prepared for the worst in people.

Rebecca Legnaro As soon as you watch Stoker, your opinion about family bonds will not be the same anymore.Since from the opening shot your eyes are pleasantly amazed by the stunning cinematography of this movie. Everything is surrounded by a dream-like atmosphere and once you discover more and more about the mysterious quiet India and her family you will understand why.Matthew Goode and Nicole Kidman, who respectively play uncle Charlie and Eveline, are both excellent at portraying their characters and the camera movements keep the audience's concentration high all the time. What many might dislike, though, is the script, which sometimes appears to be too predictable.I do not want to repeat myself, but the cinematography is wonderful, how the director manipulate the viewer through mirrors and light is a good lesson to learn for anybody interested in filmmaking.I encourage everyone that likes thrillers to watch this movie. You will not be disappointed.

k-hosni Stoker is Park Chan-wook first English-language film, which I found to be more on the tamer side of his usual work. Stoker is a psychological thriller, and the best kind you can ask for. The limited amount of characters and slow pacing of the movie gives the audience time to reflect and peer into the minds of the Stoker family.The story revolves around an 18-year-old girl India Stoker (Mia Wasikowska), whose father dies in a bizarre car wreck. Her Uncle Charlie (Matthew Goode), who she never knew existed, comes to live with her and her unstable mother (Nicole Kidman). She begins to suspect this mysterious, charming man has concealed motives and becomes increasingly infatuated with him. The story isn't really that subtle or original but the film is stylishly made with Hitchcockian elements throughout the film. It was quite obvious 10 minutes into the film that the girl and her uncle are psychopaths. Thrillers usually build tension slowly throughout a plot until it gets to a point where everything unravels into a complete different direction. Instead of jump scares or whatever tricks that typical thrillers use, the film rather tests the anxiety of the audience and haunts the imagination. Mia Wasikowska really gives the film a beating heart, as she emerges from her innocence into her latent self. Matthew Goode had a quality about him that reminded me of Norman Bates in Psycho. I was quite surprised to find that the story was written by Wentworth Miller (Prison Break). This is he's first written and produced film on the big screen. I look forward to seeing more of his theatrical work including a prequel story to Stoker about the life of Uncle Charlie.
