Light of My Life (I) (2019)
6/10
So much good but too much not so good.
10 May 2024
My ex and I disagreed on movies with endings that are open for interpretation; she just hated all of them with no exception while I think they're great when well done. This one though just ends abruptly, seemingly in the middle of a scene. It's not even bad, it's just... odd. The whole movie I was torn as to what rating I would give because the acting was great, and as a childless guy who always wanted a daughter the story really spoke to me. And great job on the pacing from (first time?) director Casey Affleck. There are however inconsistencies in the writing, and there isn't much originality either. And while I liked it, some may be turned off by most of the movie being dialogue. But really, the unnecessarily abrupt ending is what is pushing me to only give a 6/10.
