Of Girls and Horses (2014)

No chemistry--no nothing--except pretty pictures

[1/10 · 19 August 2015]

I gave this 1 star but I can't actually say I hated it. I hated that I felt tricked into sitting all the way through it waiting for something to happen. The photography was pleasant to look at and the characters were interesting to look at but nothing ever happened between any of them. At one point in the film one character communicates the word "chemistry" to another. Why? To let me know that the movie was devoid of any? The love scene between the two older women was contrived and soporific. The whole part with the two older women made no sense to the plot whatsoever. I kept waiting and waiting and waiting for something to happen in this movie. Nothing ever did--except some nice shots of the sky and clouds and fields and horses. I felt taken in the end. What a waste of time.
