• Remembering why I love Brit Marling's movies

  alfredormzr2015-10-21

  I decided to watch this film immediately I saw that Brit Marling acts in it, and certainly, I wasn't disappointed. In this movie the breathtaking beauty of this actress can be tested again, as it was in "Another Earth" or in "The East". And it's not only her gorgeous face what captivated my sight, also her performance took me into the deepest emotional side of my mind, not for crying, of course, but honestly, in every time I've seen her acting, I felt in love of her character. This film lets the viewer not only to have a nice romantic moment, such as anyone can get in any classical movie from Hollywood. Instead, its value is due to the topics that are treated on it; to be with someone that loves you is not enough, he or she has to be your biggest fan. To have someone to be with is amazing, but also its desirable if that person makes you explore your most creative parts of yourself. What would anyone prefer, happiness or greatness? If the most recognized artists' lives are read, you can find out that they weren't happy.

• Great movie. Watch it

  I loved this movie. I think that it is very under rated. I loved the characters. Jack Houston as Liam and Brit Marling as McKenzie were complex and great together. I loved Jack Houston as a leading man. I found that i wanted to watch it again as soon as it was over. It is a simple romantic story, but not predictable. It is not the most original story. A tortured artist. A reporter personally involved in the story. But it didn't feel old. It felt new. I liked the pace at which this story was told. It allowed me to fall in love with both characters. I loved the music in this movie. It matched the feeling and the vibe perfectly. I have not seen either of these actors before, but i will be looking for them both now. Overall, i just thought it was very well done.

• as expected from Brit Marling

  It a shame that there is very few reviews about this fantastic movie. I am becoming a fan of Brit Marling as watching her works. There is always some sort of mystery behind stories that i have so far seen played by Brit Marling. This movie is not a difference. While it seems as an ordinary comedy movie. But it is not. There is some mystery behind it. The movie makes you think. It combines different senses, those senses that you may not realize their existing. It is not a pure love story neither a Drama. The other thing the i realize is its similarities with the titanic movie. Not the story itself, but some feelings that you get with titanic. I hope you see this too. It is also worth noting that while the movie seems predictable, it has some lovely surprises. Good work.

• deepest emotions represented with the lightest touch... beautiful

  The Pandora express.. very soothing style of storytelling, the story is simple (kind of) but I felt it to be beautifully told.. A misunderstanding starts the story through which the protagonist starts to receive what he thought he always wanted.. by the end of the story he got what he never knew he was missing.. I felt the film explores the idea of ambitions and desires, how these contradict but either doesn't necessarily be a bad thing and how they amends with time and become something different.. The music is beautiful. The acting is ordinary. It has a happy ending. A certain secondary character felt neglected by the film. Ignoring that and considering it's just 93mins it is most definitely worth a watch. I recommend it for people of all age groups. Thumbs Up,

• Lame...

  panta-42015-09-17

  This romantic drama written and directed by Lulu Wang was something I will forget quickly, except few sentences from the end... "the most convincing lies are the lies we tell ourselves"... If I say to myself that this was a good movie because I always liked the acting of Brit Marling, I would lie to myself - she was simply terrible in this artsy philosophical journey towards the oblivion! I really enjoyed the cinematography, though, and I will search for more movies where Stefan Ciupek was the guy in charge for it... amazing! The story was pretty lame, and it's about an artist who was reported dead by mistake, and his work suddenly becomes very popular... he decides to continue the charade posing as his own brother to a reporter who wants to write a story... Get it on DVD... 93 minutes are much easier handled with occasional usage of pause button.
