A "once in a life" must see.
The power of love of a father towards his son moves them in a story that calls for strength, survival, memories, hope and belief that in a dying world, humanity and innocence inside a child means so little and yet so much.
We are left to believe, that as humans we mean more than the body we carry. We are what we believe!
Left me feeling totally depressed - really, really great movie, great performances from both leads, the kid is just perfect, just as well as Viggo.
If I had seen this one three years ago I'd might feel a bit different, but after having a kid of my own it changes perspectives and makes you connect with things you wouldn't connect being on your own.
Despite half of it being a talking head documentary, which I'm not for, the combination of the powerful women telling their story with the images shot in the eighties of the race is absolutely stunning. You cheer them on because they're there to set the trademark for all women after them, opening a door for them for opportunities. These girls are saying now again that if you listen to what people tell you you can't do, human kind would not have been great at all. And that is a strong message that I will take to heart.
WTF did I just watch? How did this sad excuse of a thriller get such good actors on board?
The script was terrible.Very slow and very boring. Characters would adamantly refuse to do something, only to change their mind in their next breath with barely any prompting. And don't get me started on those spontaneous crying bouts. What even was that?
To make it all the worse, the score was completely out of place. Whoever composed the music for this was very clearly watching a totally different movie. Not only did it feel like the score was composed by three different people, or someone with multiple personality disorder perhaps, but at times I couldn't tell if I was watching a 90's superhero movie or a Tim Burton inspired weird christmas movie. That's how incongruous to this story the music was.
I love Ewan McGregor but this is a garbage movie.
Viggo Mortensen writes a love letter--well, a letter, anyway--to his family and I don't know why I had to be there, as it wasn't for me... in more ways than one.
If I wanted to hear senile old men insulting women, Asians, children, and homosexuals, I'd look up my distant relatives on Facebook because that way I could turn it off when I got fed up.
I respect Mortensen enormously as an artist and I recognize that this was a passion project for him but sadly, it wasn't one for me.
Another window into a culture I’ve only seen from a distance which makes this documentary of value In and of itself. The journey of Ruchie and her EMT woman is gutsy, dogged and faithful to their faith. It is people like this that expand our human potential and enlarged our world. It was a bit of a nail-biter in places. A great production, well delivered, and now my world is a little larger. I give this film a 9 (superb) out of 10. [Documentary]
[LasPalmasFF] The marriage of Elvira Lind and Oscar Isaac offers a story about human relationships that works well in the portrait of loneliness. Very well structured from the presentation of the characters to the development of a kind of emotional obsession through the private stories that are reflected in the letters of the prisoners. The story has suspicious similarities to the Turkish film "Passed by censor" (2019), which limits its interest.
