Did you people see the same film I saw?
Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
View MoreA terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
View MoreThis film is for you only if you'd enjoy watching the cast hike for it's entirety. There's one scene that could be classified as Thriller but it's not as powerful as the critics would lead you to believe. Calling it a Drama is almost even reaching as it's more of a found footage movie without shaky cameras and a scary plot twist ending. Yes, a walk in the woods with three wonderful actors is what The Loneliest Planet is. Now that I've wasted my evening, it's time for bed.
View MoreI get what it wants to talk about: the fear of finding out the person you love most is not the person you thought he or she was. The fear of finding out you are by yourself after all. It is a worthy subject to make a movie about, so if you are interested in exploring this idea, there is a great movie called Tourist that you can watch instead of this movie.I'm very forgiving of artsy movies because I assume the directors must know more about the art than I do, and I'm a snob so I suck up to everything artsy. But there is a limit to being indulgent. What unfolds in this movie is hardly emphasizable. Since there is a much better movie that talks about the mangled idea of The Loneliest Planet much better, I recommend others to avoid being sucked by misleading accolade and seek worthier entertainment.
View MoreThis is a minimalist movie. It is a movie made up of little moments, little facial expressions, simple dialogues. And, of course, "the" event which is pivotal for the movie.Having watched "Force Majeure" before this, I knew what to expect and what to look for in "The Loneliest Planet". I was expecting a movie about the dynamics in a couple, and how this dynamics is easily and severely disrupted by one single event. I knew I had to look for the small details, for the things unsaid, in order to understand and to appreciate the movie.The physical majesty of the mountains, which are always visible in the background, creates a dramatic atmosphere. In this naturally dramatic set, powerful emotions are lived by the two main characters, and eventually by their Georgian guide as well. However, these emotions are mostly lived inside each character: there are no arguments, no fights, no physical expression of emotions; only looks and (some) words.Overall, I enjoyed the movie. Just be prepared, this is not your usual movie. Don't expect elaborate plot twists (aside from that one event...). Expect it to unfold at its own pace. If you approach it with an open mind, you will enjoy it.
View MoreThe first 20 minutes, we gave this movie a chance, then I started fast forwarding.. By 50 minutes, it was clear we didn't miss anything... continue fast forwarding. Throughout the film there are maybe 3 5 minute scenes which basically ARE the movie. The rest is just people walking, eating, talking about nothing, sleeping, making out, etc. The two hour film could have been condensed into a nice 25 minute movie, but as it is, I found it incomprehensible and senseless. Also the girl is not very attractive. It's hard to write 10 lines of text about this movie. I will just say that the scenery is nice, but gets repetitive, and basically is at times little different from just looking at still photos. I also found the film quite predictable, in terms of what might happen and even how it's filmed. Basically its rather shallow and unsatisfying, kind of like chewing gum rather than eating something real.
