Derek E. Dec 10 Good pacing, plot twist was revealed early (and predictable)I thought but otherwise I enjoyed the movie See more HMF B Feb 25 Good actors but the story does not know in which direction to go. Only at the end do you find out and by then it's too late to enjoy it. See more Sal D @JustTheLaw 12/12/2024 This is an unusual film but in a surprisingly good way. The performances were all commendable (not spectacular) but what makes this movie pop is the hard twist that I did not expect or catch on to until a few after that fact - the first act lulled me in pace and plot that when it pivoted, it took me a second to see the real arc of the story.

As with many movies of this ilk, the set-up isn't half bad and has potential, but the execution doesn't live up to its possibilities. What saves it from being a total waste of time is the surprisingly strong cast of actors - although it's debatable whether they signed on because of the material itself or because they needed some outdoor furniture for their villa in France. I would like to single out Robinson in particular. I've only seen him in two projects - this and LOVE, SIMON. But the roles and performances are so varied that I'm intrigued what this young actor has in store for the future. Ryan and Greg Kinnear are predictable choices for their roles and give predictable performances. In the end, it's a rather blah experience - nothing to run away from but certainly nothing to look forward to. And by the end, your limitations of believability may be pushed to their limits.

Sie bleibt nicht an der Oberfläche, sondern geht in die Tiefe. Die Musik ist auch stark, sie unterstützt die Dramaturgie, sie steigert die Spannung. Alles passt, die Regie, Ausstattung, die Kostüme …. Die zwei Hauptdarsteller in der Rolle der Mutter Charlene (Amy Ryan) und ihres Sohnes Philip (Nick Robinson). Sie geben den Film „Leben". Amy Ryan die unerschrockene Mutter, Nick Robinson, der behinderte, nach der Wahrheit suchende Sohn, spielen ihre Rollen famos. See more Read all reviews
