Memorable, crazy movie

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Contains a plot spoiler or two.Justin (Stephen Campbell Moore) and Kate (Clémence Poésy) are expecting their first child after 10 years of marriage. Kate is distant from her mother (Deborah Findlay) and looks at a picture of her brother of which we know nothing about. Meanwhile, what appears to be the perfect couple moves in downstairs. Theresa (Laura Birn) is from Germany and her husband Jon (David Morrissey) is an international banker. He doesn't appear to be as nice. She is also expecting.PLOT SPOILER PART: Circumstances cause Theresa to lose her child and a rift occurs between couples. However, they make nice, Theresa babysits and goes Rebecca De Mornay all over the film. Now at this point the film could turn out two or three ways and they chose the lazy ending.The actors really put themselves into the script which failed to create the real thriller and suspense film this could have been.Guide: F-word. Sex. Blurred preggo nudity. Close up breast feeding. Rebecca De Mornay was better.

When you have a movie that is almost an open book to read (and that's without having seen any trailer), you do wonder how will they pull it off. The invitation was or rather is an example, that even if you have seen the trailer, it does hold on to the excitement and the tension. Something this movie can not do over the entire time.Still it's not a bad example of a thriller. It does have the acting talent at hand and even almost achieves to get away with the usual "come on, you should know better" we may utter at the expense of the characters on screen. So depending on your patience and what you think of certain character motivated decisions, the ending will have an impact - or not. And that will clearly be visible in your rating of this movie ...

I expected so much more from this movie because I generally really like British movies. But...Unfortunately, I figured out the plot (albeit not all of the minor twists) in the first 5 minutes. I give the writer/director credit for vivid character development without beating the viewer over the head. And the acting was stellar. But other than that the movie was like a predictable roller coaster ride (only because the acting was great, not because I wondered where the ride was going). But the ending left me absolutely wishing I'd gone for groceries. It was one of the least satisfying, predictable conclusions imaginable... It was fairly clear what had happened but there was no realistic ending.What a disappointment!

I think my biggest praise for this movie — definitely more of a psychological thriller than a horror — is how damn uncomfortable you feel during THE ENTIRE THING. From the first couple scenes, including ones where soon-to-be parents Kate (Clémence Poésy) and Justin (Stephen Campbell Moore) are excited about their new baby, you just KNOW something is afoot. The director, David Farr, did a great job of using very subtle hints here and there without making it too overpowering. It's eerie and unsettling throughout.Their new downstairs neighbors move in and while everything seems picture perfect at first, you very soon start to see some very disturbing cracks in their too-good-to- be-true facade. It goes from simply awkward to downright terrifying pretty quickly, but so many lines are blurred in this movie that you really have a hard time being sure of anything: are Theresa (Laura Birn) and Jon (the excellent David Morrissey) as truly ruthless as we think, or is Kate just suffering from paranoid, sleep-deprived delusions? As we watch her sink deeper into her conviction that something is seriously wrong, you feel both compassion and cringing, which is impressive.Each character in this movie has their own distinct and brilliantly acted personality. Theresa is a bit over eager but ultimately very vulnerable and earnest. Jon is brusque and conservative. Kate is attempting to pull together a confident demeanor while feeling around in the darkness that is new motherhood, and she's instantly likable. And Justin is just trying to keep things together between work and Kate's increasing paranoia and erratic behavior — you can feel how thinly he is stretched by it all.The ending is heart-wrenching to say the least… so well done that I sat with my hands clasped over my mouth as I gasped. Just awesome from top to bottom.
