Alicia I love this movie so much
Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
alon-dar1 it's an OK movie, old story, tiny twist in it, but same all same all. terrible acting by Kiersey Clemons, just terrible. OK acting from the others, and, i can't believe that i am writing this, very good acting by Pierce Brosnan. No way? way. Jeff Bridges is the same, no one can expect from him to act as a human. there is a feeling that the producers/director tried to create a strong and dramatic almost noir movie, they did not succeed, what you do get is a decent not too boring 90 minutes. the score is very suitable.
burnwajd i thought i was watching a movie with what i saw was a great cast before i turned up;, but i saw a great cast, great scrip, and good enough directing. u wanna have a bet on who will not cry first before the end of a movie? it s this movie or el mar a fondo. emotions only come to the second half but they hit u like a brick, and you feel them no matter how tough you are. what does keep you going in the first half is knowing the narator is forgetting a part of the story. sorry i took so long to see the movie, i thought it would be something else. the only negative critic i can make is that: u sold it it for something it wasn't (trailer is bad). u will love it no matter how dumb, smart, romantic, cold, funny, or sarcastic you are. if you don't like it, u may say it s corny sometimes, but life is corny all the time and they do well to depict it. i thought the accents were all great eccept brosman who had a problem when we all know he can do American (director s fault i think). but the directore killed it on editing and we saw a lot of emotional scenes, so what else do we need?
whernstadt I can't understand why so many people rated it so low. The graduate was great when I saw it 50 years ago, and this is fascinating in today's world. As one character says people are different now. But they are not! Overactive desire in the young man and anger that he can not find an outlet and does not know what to do with his life is classic. People are human with the same passions and desires over the ages, and neurosis and alcoholism is nothing new. I was born in NYC and love to see the city and its vibrancy. 3 of my wives were from New York and I understand relationships, so I feasted upon how the story develops. Yes too slow for some and not enough nakedness for others, but real humanity is there. Acting good and New York far more interesting than Philadelphia. Film reviewers be damned. Bill in Singapore
Felix Yaroshevsky It develops like contemporary production of Greek tragedy - takes off with gentle suspension, which culminates for a viewer in empathetic co- experiencing and ends as a fairy tale. Solid, seemingly a "small film", but almost all human relational realities encompassed in this pretzel of passion, confusion and fog of existential searching for the meaning of Life - only to find it in simple humanity right at home.
