One of the worst movies I've ever seen

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

I found this film alright like Im not gonna say its the best because it was weird and uncomfortable at the same time. Henry Hopper's character Enoch Brae likes to crash into peoples funerals who he rarely knows and it seems like he is an antisocial person. It was rude of him to back away from Mia Wasikowska's character Annabelle, she is just so like a friend that anyone could have! Then when the pair of them became a couple (finally!), they had arguments that I didn't understand the reasons why they happened to fall out but they did.It was sad to find out that Annabelle had a few months to live because of cancer and Enoch will be soon losing her. Although, in the end, I felt they didn't make a big deal of Annabelles death. No one was even crying or wearing black clothes which was really odd and disappointing. It just doesn't make any sense! I would suggest anyone watching this movie to be prepared for disappointment and weirdness!

Enoch Brae (Henry Hopper) is a morbid teenager that enjoys attending funerals. He meets the teenager Annabel Cotton (Mia Wasikowska) in a memorial service and they start to see each other. Enoch has lost his parents in a car accident and lives with his aunt Mabel (Jane Adams). His best and only friend is the ghost of the Japanese kamikaze pilot Hiroshi Takahashi (Ryo Kase) and Enoch neither goes to school nor has a car. Annabel is terminal with brain tumor and lives with her sister Elizabeth (Schuyler Fisk) and her mother Rachel (Lusia Strus). She loves to read about birds, especially the water birds. Soon the unlikely couple falls in love with each other improving their lives."Restless" is a beautiful, romantic and sad movie about love, life and death. Enoch Brae recalls Harold, from "Harold and Maude", a teenager with a trauma attracted by memorial services. Mia Wasikowska is wonderful in the role of the sweet Annabel, a teenager terminally ill that loves life. The story is sensitive and their romance is heartbreaking. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "Inquietos" ("Restless")

I'm sorry, I wanted to like this film. I really did. But try as I might, it was just too boring, depressing and ridiculous. Young Annabelle is delightful, courageous and amazing in the face of her impending demise. Her plight is sad but you cannot help but be uplifted by her optimism and bravery. Her sister Elizabeth is so attractive as to almost be distracting. Elizabeth is however, a most remarkable and wonderful sister to our protagonist. Her querying of Enoch on their first meeting, obviously looking out for her little sister's best interest was endearing, as was her delightful banter with Anabelle at the table with the Halloween candy. Our main male character on the other hand is the story's Achilles heel. Enoch is just too screwed up to care for or about. The acting, directing and script make this character out to be nothing more than an extremely unlikeable, rude, obscene, obnoxious, amoral, psychopathic jerk. How can these traits solicit any care or interest? Writing the character this way ruined a potentially heartrendingly beautiful story.

Gus Van Sant probably understands the minds of youngsters better than any director around and he proves it again in this rhapsodic film about loss and love and loss again. His cast is so well selected that they seem to be an ensemble from a stage company, so well integrated are their relationships in this beautiful film written by Jason Lew.Enoch Brae (Henry Hopper, son of Dennis Hopper, and a very fine actor) survived a car accident in which his parents were killed: he remained in a coma and missed their funeral and the chance to in some way say goodbye. Living with his Aunt Mabel (Jane Adams), he now spends his days not attending school but instead going to strangers' funerals. One funeral organizer (Christopher D. Harder) notices his repeated appearances and tries to have him arrested for trespassing but he is saved by a strange girl named Annabel (Mia Wasikowska in a brilliant performance). Annabel also attends funerals: she tells Enoch that she works with children with cancer at a hospital. Enoch is wary of making friends - his only ally being a Japanese kamikaze pilot ghost Hiroshi Takahashi (Ryo Kase) with whom he talks about everything. But gradually Enoch and Annabel bond and Annabel reveals to Enoch that she doesn't work with 'cancer kids', she is one - she has brain cancer and is on short-term time. Annabel's sister Elizabeth (Schyler Fisk) and mother Rachel (Luisa Strus) accept Enoch's growing supportive love for Annabel. As Enoch grows form his experience with Annabel he no longer needs the presence of his ghost or his need for attending funerals and instead spends his time giving Annabel the best three months (remaining) of her life. How the story draws to an end is so enchanting that to share it would deprive the viewer of the magic of this film.This is one of those perfect little films that glow in the heart. Mia Wasikowska and Henry Hopper create such memorable characters that once seen they will never be forgotten. Highly Recommended. Grady Harp
