This is a review made by StoneDraim... and that means that if you want to read a probably different kind of review, keep reading....
This is my personal experience, my personal point of view/perspective and my personal opinion... and my opinion is just one of like 7 billions in this world.
A moment in time out of perspective of a family in pain. The writer have written a screenplay that goes into the natural things and causes that happens in life. How life can twist around and make people do things in a different kind of way.... if there is a "different kind".
Jesse Eisenberg shows that he can act in a more subtle and emotionally way than before. In this one he grasps the difficult role of an and brother in between family matters well. Gabriel Byrne struggles in a fashionable way to stretch out and give the role of a father, a husband and a mourning human being. He sets the tone well with a distance to all the events in the characters life.
This is a very well made movie in all aspects and highlights the genre drama in a great way. Emotions, thoughts and events blend together and forces the story forward. It is boring in a fascinating way... or just fascinating in a boring way.
In the end of the movie the story takes off in a way that gives the almost dull experience a push forward and things is developing a little faster. Maybe the movie had to roll out all the time before things got interesting, for the part to be experienced interesting. There are moments within this motion picture that almost feel like a dream... surreal.
Joachim Trier has done a good job making a solid production and a piece of art that will stay in my memory.
Last thing: only watch this movie if you are in a good mood and are up for a heavy and sad drama.
Over to the movie as a product: - The production : Great blend of reality, surreal moments and a delicate use of music. - The actors : Carrying the story. Solid acting... more or less. - The story : Kind of typical family situation that twists with the producers vision of art. Nice. - Entertainment : Sadly... too long and often too irrelevant things for the production to hit off. - Age : Hard. Will the youth be able to grasp this?
6,4 out of 10. (The final rate is based most on my own entertainment of the movie. 7 Well made movie. Proper entertainment. 6 Nice production. Good movie.)
