Couldn't make it all the way through but I doubt the ending would've changed my rating. Just too slow, they didn't set up anything. If I didn't read the description before watching it I'd be totally lost.
I guess it's alright, I've seen much worse movies and this one at least has good acting in it, the problem is with the pace of the movie. It moves really, really slowly. It's one of those movies that if you read the description you think ohhh that could be a good story, but it just wasn't really there when you watch it. The movie only really gets interesting in the last few minutes, and then just like that it's over. It's like someone telling you "We're going out to dinner on Friday and it's going to be somewhere so good" all week long and then it ends up being Denny's. You'll eat it, it's fine, but you were just expecting more.
The movie basically stops, when the much more interesting drama would begin. Bad ending.
Noomi Rapace and Yvonne Strahovski star in the psychological thriller Angel of Mine (an American remake of the French film Mark of an Angel). The story follows a grieving mother who’s unable to come to terms with the death of her infant daughter and starts to stalk a little girl believing that she’s her daughter come back to her. Both Rapace and Strahovski give strong performances and each comes off as sympathetic in their own way. However, the script is rather weak and takes too long to explain how the daughter died and whether the mother believes the girl is her actual daughter or her reincarnation. Still, there are some dramatic and intense scenes as the mother’s obsession becomes dangerous and self-destructive. Angel of Mine has a compelling story to tell, but it has some trouble coming together.
I kinda expected the ending, but this was still a pretty good film none the less.
The stalking and the kid's (Annika Whiteley) acting really sell this. I get that Noomi Rapace is a phenomenal actor, but, correct me if I'm wrong, she's never been able to play a non-swedish character. Is she just unable to lose that accent? There's a backstory to explain it in this at least.
I enjoyed how the editing slowly convinced us of the premise, but I kind of felt that this film might've been better off with the opposite ending.
