I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Too much of everything
Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
When I saw the trailer of the movie i was kind of confused about it and wasn't sure if i should watch it or not.Being in love with Matt Smith for so long, i wanted to see him act out of his Doctor Who character and decided to take the risk. At first I had my doubts about it, but after half an hour they were completely disappeared!Eva's acting was absolutely touching and Matt was perfect for his roll! It was a very beautiful movie after all and really emotional, but not too much!And the ending, oh the ending, was amazing and heartbreaking at the same time!Found myself crying with a broken smile drawn in my face! Totally recommend it! Absolutely worth its time!
A masterpiece. One of the most challenging, beautiful, quiet, amazing films I've ever seen. I regret not seeing this incredibly beautiful film on the big screen. Simply long, gorgeous shots of cold and intriguing beach scenes, no music to intrude on the subtle sounds of the places and people or to make the mind set up an emotion - connecting you more with the characters and the somewhat ethereal photography. There is not a lot of dialog delivered, the story told mostly with visual feelings and mood, close ups mixed with grand panoramic views draw you into the tale deliciously, with an overall appealing test of your morals. Eva Green is at her sensually crazy best, her eyes telling volumes of the ambivalence she has for her situation. Most will have predicted what must eventually happen but one is shocked by the outcome anyway. This film is not for everyone, yet even if it disturbs you, it will have moved you to think about one of the strangest and sincerest love stories ever depicted. For those with an open mind, you just might be able to condone the main character's controversial decision.
The theme of the film is haunting, provocative, controversial and irresistible. I had to see it as soon as I read the synopsis. It started hauntigly enough, with a pregnant woman and a beautiful beach. I am not going to go into details as far as the plot is concerned but this was supposed to be a love story. A woman clones and gives birth to a man who she is supposed to be in love with but not out of love, out of guilt, she felt guilty he died. I hate it when you know the director meant for the viewer to feel a certain emotion at a certain time and I felt none of that. I didn't feel the connection between the characters. In the beginning they were friends, than something more but not lovers, than a mother and child and in the end...well, see for yourself if you want to feel as if you have just wasted a couple of hours of your life. Great idea, really poorly executed.
This is a sparse and beautifully filmed sci-fi drama, very much along the lines of Never Let Me Go.The subject matter makes this an uncomfortable film to watch and it is almost unrelentingly bleak. The dark tone of the film is augmented by the stunning cinematography which were the highlight of the film for me.The performances are only so so. I am not a fan of Matt Smith who is merely adequate. Eva Green does a better job as the mother/girlfriend. The rest of the cast are good but are given very limited screen time.The film doesn't really go anywhere but for me it never got boring. It does raise some interesting questions about cloning without ramming them down your throat.It was a much better film than I thought it would be and if you don't mind slow moving drama is well worth a watch.
