Viviana G Never really got the hang of it. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Bob H It's not for everyone or every moment, but it potrays how love remains even when we lose everything else. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Jacopo T Long version: Unexpectedly beautiful piece of Cinema (with the capital C on purpose), very rich in meaning, compelling and moving. It explores the concept of appreciation for everyday things in life masterfully, and it really leaves the receptive viewer stumbled and with a prospective shift. I personally was even more stumbled, however, after I discovered how much this film is undervalued; by reading the reviews I felt most people banalized it and didn't really get the point to the story. It's true that it could have explored some plot leads further, but I feel like that was not the point of the film, nor it was "the importance of romantic love" in itself. It's not a film to watch just to be entertained for two hours, it's something else; and as much as the premise might sound weird, according to me this is much more of a story worth telling than many other, more succesful, ones. Lastly, both Ewan McGregor and Eva Green really did a good job in encapsulating the spirit of the story. Short version: Give it a chance if you like meaningfull stories! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review KB B This was such a compelling movie. It's such a different take on the epidemic genre. It's definitely worth the watch. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/24 Full Review Rana K This is a perfect movie. Watched in 2012 still watching it today as it continues to make perfect sense. So sorry this is not getting the recognised brilliant work it is. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/18/23 Full Review isla s I thought this was really quite a moving film. It felt fairly true to life, given we've only just (hopefully?!) starting to re-emerge to a form of normality following the coronavirus pandemic and one of the original/main symptoms, we were told, was a lack of taste or smell. In this film, people suffer from an unknown virus which makes them unable to taste or smell. You could say the film name is ironic - faulty sense may be more applicable. I found the characters interesting - I could certainly sympathise with both the man, Michael (played by Ewan McGregor) and the woman, Susan (played by Eva Green) and the scenes showing the streets and city days after this virus has impacted the local area is a bit haunting, certainly - it made me think fo the '28 days later'. There are scenes with no music or narration - scenes in which we're shown people and things in complete silence, which certainly adds an eeriness to it. This is what I'd regard a chilling romance/mystery film primarily, as the whereabouts of the virus isn't entirely known, so it has quite a mysterious feel to it, while people's perseverance is very much emphasised. I thought for what it is, its a pretty well made film. It may hit a bit close to home for some but it's certainly worth a watch, yes. Also, the narrator, when present, her voice is distinctly spooky in tone. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
