The film's intentionally awkward and disjointed style takes quite a while to settle into, as the clumsy dialogue and impenetrable story juxtapose with beautiful images and music. But once you get your head round everything, it is quite an enjoyable watch, the main attraction here being the impressive cast - particularly Shailene Woodley's sensitive character, Eva Green's wonderfully cartoonish performance and the breath of fresh air from the comical Gabourey Sidibe and Mark Indelicato.Overall, I would recommend the film; but if you miss it, I wouldn't fret too much.
... View MoreKat, an ordinary girl living with her parents, receives an unexpected blow when her mother suddenly disappears. She was acting somehow strangely in the last couple of days but nobody had seen that coming. They continue to live their lives without her, but for Kat, it all seems a bit too unexpected. Although struggling to keep her life together, regularly seeing a psychiatrist, she keeps having some strange dreams about her mother which don't seem to leave her at peace. Sooner or later, she's bound to find out the truth but it's going to be some really shocking news.It's a life story which does a great job in maintaining a mystery throughout its entirety. It mostly focuses on different things just to suddenly remember the main controversy over and over again. It is unpredictable and has a shocking finale (at least for me it was) but it isn't special in any other way. It depicts ordinary and dull things which sometimes induce a state of boredom, thus leading to less pleasant feeling. Besides that, it's a good mystery movie which keeps your subconscious puzzled while delivering big punch with its finale.
... View MoreSEX.I'll try to make this as short as possible.Despite the fact that the story is set in the late 80s/ early 90s, the movie has no 80s/ 90s feel to it. At all.The main character is a one dimensional emotionless nympho. The actress was not the best choice for this movie setting: There's only two things about her that I can praise at this point. And she shows them a few times. You get what I mean. And aside from the somewhat OK soundtrack, that's pretty much everything this movie has to offer.Basically, the movie is a waste of time, pretty much a failed attempt to combine Twilight with the 80s/ 90s theme and add some lame thriller/ drama elements. My personal guess is that this was just a chance for the main actress to experiment with nude scenes.2/10 Boring.
... View MoreI usually don't like movies like this where you're not completely sure what's going on, and it's sort of slow and flashbacky. But I have to say I liked this film. A lot more than even anticipated. I'm an Eva Green fan, so that's why I wanted to watch it. I didn't know what to think as far as what happened to Eve. There was a lot of sex and I can't say I hated it. I liked Phil and Kat's relationship but it was really hot when she slept with the detective because he was sexy for an older man. As soon as they started taking newspapers off the freezer I suspected that's where Eve would be. And the dream that Kat had definitely confirmed it. But oh my gosh. The ending. I did NOT see that coming!!!! When Eve opens the door, I figured maybe the dad and Mae would be doing it, but HOLY COW IT'S THE DAD AND PHIL!!!! WTF!!!! I was yelling, telling my cat that I did NOT see that one coming! So that made the movie more enjoyable yet. It was slow, but in a good way. It kept me watching and wanting more.
