Sorry, this movie sucks

Highly Overrated But Still Good

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

In this drama, Gillen gives personality to a parent who goes trough the painful process of losing an adolescent son. This comments may be contains spoiler. This process as such is lived with nostalgia, reproach of his ex wife and escapism linked with alcohol.Still, a disturbed child attracts the attentions of Tom Carver (Gillen), who sympathizes and tried to help, creating a friendship between them that brings a little hope in the life of Carver.Simultaneously a street episode, related to a gang of teenagers, is becoming a nightmare, affecting all his relationship. Tom lost in concern, finds support in his particular friend, together resolved to make a decision that changes unpredictably the course of things...One aspect to note is the impeccable direction of Simon Blake, in this drama you have the feeling of being part of it, given the excellent acting performance.The director/screenwriter and protagonist respect the characters and narrative never fall into facilities of dialogue, although it's undeniable that in some situations the images speak for themselves and silence is an essential part of the story. Feelings sway in static scenes , memories that trigger and that are aesthetically portrayed.Music and photography express an accompaniment and visual aesthetics that enhance the message of the work and its singular focus.In conclusion, intense drama, excellent acting work, with the additive of a growing psychological thriller.

I don't know if the filmmaker intentionally wanted the audience not to be able to hear a word of this movie, or if everybody just whispers to each other in England, but I have never seen the movie were it was harder to hear the dialogue. Everybody in this film quietly mumbles or whispers to each other most of the time. I'm three quarters of the way through it, and I can honestly say I don't think I've understood a complete sentence of anything I've seen yet. Considering its very slow pacing, it adds up to a gigantic snoozefest occasionally punctuated by unexplained violence. it's very gritty, it seems almost like it might be an OK movie, if any of the dialogue was intelligible.

I admit, I tuned in to see Petyr "littlefinger" Baelish in another role. I really like his acting in GoT and also this.And that is about all I liked.A pet peeve of mine is when audio in a movie is too soft and/or muddled and you miss half of what is going on. This started that way and 1/2 the time I was like WTF are they saying?? Does no one watch the final cut before it's released to make sure everything is understandable? UghSo the deal is this guy gets bothered by this gang of teens. I wouldn't use the word horrifying like others. For example, they rape his GF but you don't see it, she just tells him what happened. This movie won't shock you in any way.He ends up capturing the leader of this gang and ends up killing him but not before this kid tells him that (Aiden's) deceased son was actually a thug himself and up to no good.Bored yet! Yeah. Me too. Hence my 3 star rating.Don't bother with this movie, you can definitely find better ones. Side note: I know other reviews say this a gritty movie and it's a roller coaster ride, blah blah blah. I mean, did they actually watch this movie cuz it sorta sucks. Just sayin'.

In 97 minutes, 'Still' manages to touch emotions I never thought possible. From the incredibly talented directing, producing and acting, Still quickly became etched in my mind.The storyline and how we as an audience receive that can only be described as a thrilling adventure. From the moment Still begins to the credits rolling, my eyes were glued to the screen, including a few tears of sadness and laughter. I'll admit that I was skeptical having heard about the story and read reviews as to how I, as a 19 year old with little experience and knowledge about life would feel about the film that had cemented itself in the memories of every viewer I talked to.I can tell you now that I do and would recommend Still to everyone I meet. After my first time watching Still, I was touched by what I felt and how the story developed,how it provoked emotions in me I believed were not possible. I felt the pain of Carver, of Rachel and even Carl. I am neither a mother, a father or a son yet I felt their pain and sadness as if it were my own. I felt anger like a father, I cried like a mother and I felt pressure as a teenager.Still is above all, a lesson, a roller-coaster of emotions and a film that is firmly etched in my heart. Simon Blake is without a doubt, a writer that is talented and passionate about telling a story of raw emotions that others are simply too afraid to do.
