Fantastic acting and writing. Delivers powerful and emotional performances. I agree that it was slow paced and the director could have shaved some time off in the middle, but the ending is worth it. I would love to see what the cast and crew do next.

HoneymoonThe scrutiny begins way too early (which is always good if the feature hits hard and fast) and is chewed off through the whole course of it (which is short and works on its favor) until few minutes before the drapes drop that results into coming off as a bit of a hoax for everything nullifies to zero in the end. The screenplay writer-director Leigh Janiak seems like a promising director with enough potential to hold the audience on their edge of the seat. Rose Leslie is decent on performance level along with Harry Treadaway who too is okayish on keeping the objective clear. Honeymoon is a jaw dropping thriller that completely relies upon writing and if it would have had better editing and smarter approach to the concept, the feature would have easily joined the major league.

Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerFirst off, the story is great. It starts off a little slow but it builds up the mysterious tension and unnerving suspense. The ending is the best part of the film.The acting is okay. Rose Leslie and Harry Treadaway do a good job but some of the dialogue lines are weak and some scenes just feel scripted.The pacing in the beginning is very slow. The film ends on a high note. The ending left me stunned and motionless. Pros: Interesting story, amazing ending, no explanation to any of the events, and okay actingCons: Very slow pacing, some dodgy dialogue, some scenes that felt scripted, to many sex scenes and just okay actingOverall Rating: 6.6

Agreeing to spend his honeymoon at an isolated cabin in the woods, a newlywed man becomes worried by his wife's increasingly bizarre and unusual behaviour in this intriguing mystery thriller starring Harry Treadaway and Rose Leslie. The film has copped a lot of criticism for its ambiguous ending that leaves several questions unanswered, but this is a metaphorical movie first and foremost with the filmmakers successfully tapping into the anxieties that come with any relationship (how well do you really know the other person?). In fact, the lack of any overt explanation is one of the film's strengths with all thrills and chills coming from the wife's perplexing behaviour as opposed to loud noises, dark shadows or ostentatious special effects. The isolated woodlands setting works in the film's favour too as it challenges our generic expectations; the couple are not vulnerable because they are alone in the woods but rather because they are stuck with each other when they might not know one another as well as they think. Of course, the ending could have been a little clearer here, but with Leslie in particularly good form as the wife whose personality evolves throughout, this is a pretty compelling ride.
