Les N Jul 6 Americans don't like foreign films. Too different from their tried and true formula that hasn't changed in 50+ years. See more Justen T Mar 8 Its a good movie. Mostly gets you off your feet. But as always thriller movies always hasthat part that needs to be solved. 8 for me. See more Matt P 10/22/2024 Audiences claim this hits a lot of different notes compared with others, yet it’s the realism that brings the audience engaged here. That’s what movies lack nowadays because there’s too great a need for CGI and luxurious viewings. And so, viewers were drawn to this, intrigued. Happy because although the movie doesn’t deliver edge of the seat stuff, it successfully lured you in. Just like the German man did… only this female lead character didn’t seem to care that there wasn’t any worthy build up, seemed like she was just feeling like getting undressed with a random guy. Now then issues with this movie, well firstly, the acting is weak in the first act (first part to them that don’t know) and the dialogue isn’t good. Also, this is meant to be Berlin right. So use what Berlin has to offer which is a lot more beautiful than what we got shown. Then am I meant to be seeing onscreen chemistry between the two and be seeing a charming man here? Because I didn’t see that. I saw dodgy acting such as basic flirty facial expressions like lip biting from the lead, awkwardness and dodgy accents. She doesn’t know German you say? Well she seems to do well she knows a lot of words. Unusually so for someone who doesn’t know the German culture. And why’s she always on the move with her back pack… there also wasn’t much in the way of a build up between the two leads, nothing he or she said seemed charming or anything, it was as if it was a bit of a rush to show off the romantic scene and hurry to the lunatic apartment. These types of films have been done before. Room for instance and sorry to say were done better. And so Shortland's film sits somewhere in the middle of that type of spectrum. See more Marcus B 07/16/2024 Kept me glued to the screen. It can be slow at times but the acting is good and there are some tense scenes. Worth a watch 7/10 See more @OSCGJoseph 05/18/2024 88% very tense the dialogue not the greatest but very tense makes you on edge through out andi is not developed as much that he should of been the score is amazing and how it’s filmed is really good that’s what makes it so intense See more Pasquale u 04/29/2024 Absolutely boring af and I love Teresa Palmer.
