The Premise of this movie is an interesting one, but like a lot of these quirky or clever premises they fail to really develop or expand the idea. This movie makes me appreciate Charlie Kauffman/Spike Jonze even more because those individuals wether it be through Writing or Directing are able to fully communicate their ideas and progress to a climax thats rewarding or profound.
Maybe I was missing some of the themes here, maybe this movie was meant to be…
Exceptional performances from Jenifer Lawrence and John Hawkes.
One thing I really admire about this film is it's sense of place, the screenplay and direction also does a really good job of absorbing you in this world, there's lots of images and sounds as opposed to heaps of dialogue.
As far as the screenplay is concerned however, I do think there could be more of a resolution here, I'm not saying we must find out who was responsible but I think particularly for John Hawkes character I'm interested where he will go from here.
8.5/10
Something about this movie really drew me in, I cant really describe it eloquently but the tone is right on the money.
8.6/10
Haven't seen a good movie in a while, so seeing something on the big screen that was genuinely captivating and thoughtful was really cool.
I think this movie will create great discussions about Identity, Romance and Ethics in casting for films. The later of which I didn't think the film would delve into, and I thought it added a nice layer to the narrative.
The 3 performances are really good, in particular Sebastian Stan, whom is really having a moment…
