22h Diary of a Rebellious Angst Lustful Woman Filmed In Avantgarde 35mm Style. The opening studio stingers and the final scenes were my favorite. See more 3d Excellent directorial debut for KStew. See more David R @JoeRussell 16h I truly went into this film with zero expectations. I had not read the book and I did not watch a trailer before buying a ticket. I know enough about movies and the varied human experience to ever simply say this was a good film and expect others to read my words and then have it be a good film for them. Some people hate The Princess Bride, ya know? I think my review will be simply a statement of how The Chronology of Water made me think and feel while watching it. I noticed a lot of anger in me for the first 30 mins. Hatred for anyone with physical strength and perceived social strength taking advantage of anyone else. I did not even have time to be thankful that I did not go through that kind of abuse... because I was so angry at the world for allowing it. As the film went on, I was reminded that everyone on earth is doing the best they can with the brain chemistry and the situation they were put in. I left the theater with more compassion for my fellow humans. Glad I went. See more KL B @Klbjcb 1d I'm shocked no critic mentioned this is about the devastation of incest. Acting was great but this poor character is so damaged... uhhhh... why am I paying to see this again?! I gave up after an hour. I've dated damaged women like this girl. One of the few films I've ever walked out on. I hope that poor character/girl gets some therapy🙏 See more Ido K @BrandStrategyGuru 2d I knew absolutely nothing about this film aside from the fact it was the directorial debut of Kristen Stewart and that it got nominated for a couple of "first film" awards. When a film starts with voiceover whispers and artistic visuals I get worried. But the film surprised me. It was clearly based on a novel, but the way the cinematic narrative unfolded was cool and interesting. Imogen Poots gives a very strong performance as the lead. As the first film of a writer-director, this was excellent. Kristen Stewart is clearly a talented individual. Brava. See more Joe C @JoeinAtl 3d An ambitious film, artfully shot and wonderfully played, that is perhaps more than a first time director should have tried for. Imogen Poots is a rare talent who totally lives her character, but the source material seems to be sketches rather than narrative, and depressing. See more Read all reviews
