Authentically shabby looking Amy Adams in a simple one-off psychopathic thriller. Nothing particularly new, but it’s expensively shot, and the personal drama adds at least some empathy. Overall, not Joe Wright level. He can do better. 6.5 out of 10
The intrigue is present, it holds attention in places, but the film does not work as we would like. Yes, the ending is unexpected, there are a lot of twists and turns, but somehow everything turned out to be strained, not impressive. The cast is stellar, but only Adams has something to play. In general, zilch that has not realized its potential.
I don’t recognize Wright in this, except in certain moments. It seems that the film was pulled in different directions by a swan, cancer and pike (screenwriter? director? producer?), as a result, a chaotic Nothing turned out. Amy Adams is a hard worker, works honestly, but the film falls apart through no fault of hers.
Now I understand why the film was postponed so often. And no, not because of the pandemic.
I was waiting for this movie so much, so many transfers, but it turned out to be nothing at all. Boring, drawn out and empty
Popular lately, unnaturally decorated picture (suitable for fairy tales) and a couple of stars for a couple of minutes (4 minutes each for Oldman and Moore). The production failed, and the tertiary, quite predictable plot, unfortunately, does not immerse the viewer in what is happening. The final is a failure.
What am I looking at right now? The trailer promised intrigue and a thriller with a good cast. At the exit, they swing you for a long time and still draw you into this game of "who is who", but this is done somehow so ridiculously that there is no excitement. I even laughed at the end. Not ale
The film’s creative team was awesome. Hitchcock reference – gave hope. But the film is a commonplace of correspondence with the genre. Lifeless and tortured cinema.
Yes, a very weak story, the film was disappointing. How many Amy Adams outplayed "women on the verge of a nervous breakdown", one might say, she ate a dog), but then she just stalled … Although it’s not her fault, kanesh, but the authors, and that’s all for the second time, there were already such films.
Watchable, but nothing more. I remember that even "Paranoia" with LaBeouf on this topic was more energetic.
Neither the great cinematographer Delbonnel nor the fine work of production designer Thompson can fix the fact that Wright filmed a tabloid story with a serious face for some reason.
Good acting by great actors. But a thriller without a serious script does not look good.
There was such our film "The Window Opposite" in 1991 based on the story of 1942: a detective, forced to stay at home, watches his neighbors through the window out of boredom and seems to notice the crime … Replace the detective with a female psychologist, season with cockroaches in your head and get a "new" modern story . At times
You have to stop watching films without knowing his rating at the cinemarium … for some reason it seemed to me from the poster and the names in the cast that the film should be interesting. From a technical point of view, everything is OK, but the plot is boring and secondary, which, in my opinion, is a failure for a thriller
The case when it is better not to release a movie at all … Such a flat and primitive film, combining all the possible templates of a modern thriller, that even interesting actors, who abound here, cannot save it. It was better not to remake it, but to let it rest in the Bose.
Still, I’ll put 7 for trying to shoot a real paranoid thriller, admiring how they did it before. When the main character balances on a shaky line between reality and madness, doubting which side he is. The ending is too simplified, it would be better if everyone conspired against the heroine, but Alas
A very beautifully filmed movie with good actors, but absolutely nothing.
It’s a pity, it’s a pity, comrade Joe Wright, an absolutely dull movie, the ending will do
