Wonderful Movie
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Crappy film
The first must-see film of the year.
I just recently watched Revolt and it introduced me to Lee Pace. He is my new fav (previously Christian Bale). This movie surprised me, took me on a ride I wasn't expecting. Acting could not have been better, story is excellent- though I agree when someone said the wedding scene was very cheesy. Twist I had not seen coming. Excellent movie!
Can´t believe i watch the full movie. I admit i may be engaged for the fact that the ghost kid brought someone from the other side, but there was a few loose ends, like ¿Jacob crossed to the other side? ¿Who was the woman talking with Jacob (Elizabeth Mother?) ¿Elizabeth and Jacob will remain in the house or they just go to heaven after Jacob finally get his train? Anyway the wedding scene was beyond corny, not mention when Elizabeth dies. Just can´t bear the piano background music like a bad soap opera. The movie is tremendously sad, the romance scenes over the top and the plot failed so deep like the ocean. This was not good.
Don't be fooled by the marketing or the connection with Blumhouse. This movie is no horror or thriller. It is a story about love, family, grief and second chances. The plot is simple but the director does a good job in keeping it interesting. The cinematography is absolutely beautiful but the music doesn't fit the mood of the movie. Lee Pace and Carrie Coon are absolutely brilliant though the son is less than memorable. There is a twist towards the end which makes you rethink why the son has came back. Overall, the Keeping Hours is perfectly enjoyable if you have the right mindset. It makes you wonder why such a quality, award winning movie would be dumped to VOD.
10 years after the death of their son, a divorced couple is suddenly reunited by supernatural events that offer them a chance at forgiveness. The Keeping Hours completely wastes the potentials of Lee Pace (i mean the guy is a pretty good actor) and the film is neither horror or even at least a bit scary as a whole. It's romantice at times sure i'll give them that but it made no sense and it was all over the place to say the least to the point where nothing made sense anymore and the ending was probably even worse i guess. Do not see this movie ever. (0/10)
