Steve D 02/06/2024 Ryder gives her all but there is nothing else here. See more 09/24/2016 I can't believe what I just saw, almost fell asleep at the first half, I guess the acting was ok, but the direction felt extremely amateur. Boring and pretentious. See more 02/14/2016 Oh my what a shoddy presentation it was that bad. If I was Winona Ryder or James Franco I would remove this of my resume immediately it was awful. The only letter worth mentioning regarding this movie is one to the director to never direct ever again! See more don s 01/19/2016 This is a movie about nothing. A playwright "thinks" someone "may be" causing her to have a mental breakdown. Why? She is unimportant to anyone but her boyfriend, yet she is more interested in another actor she just hired. What would be the purpose? Why make this movie? The ending - where it is explained what happened (if you make it that far), is another head scratcher... again, why? Garbage despite Ryder, Franco and the lovely Waterston. See more 10/08/2015 The Letter is noir drama with an amateur feel (done intentionally?) and Lynchian vibe. Many people have disliked this movie; I can see why, but I go the other way. It is partly a matter of taste, as to whether or not you like films that have in them subtexts and hidden meanings; it is also partly a matter of execution. I think the Letter works well enough on both counts (not great but quite good). On a first viewing, I was expecting something more trippy and less cerebral, so I did not get much until the reveal at the end. The second time around I picked up much more. I think if one goes into the film treating it like a mystery or detective show, where you want to be reading people and guessing about them from the get-go, then the Letter will make for a much better view. Recommended to those who have a taste for the psychological. See more 09/28/2015 I understand what the maker tries to do. But unfortunately she fails miserably. Please leave films like this to people who really know what they're doing, like Lars von Trier. See more Read all reviews
