Best movie ever!

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Jim Broadbent stars in this British potboiler where a retiree who runs a camera shop receives a letter alerting him of the death of someone from his past which sends him on a reverie of remembrance & regret. A great little movie (hey there are no explosions folks!) which keeps you on the edge of your seat...okay couch, waiting to see how all the loose ends tie together at the end. W/the great British acting icon Charlotte Rampling, Michele Dockery (from Netflix's Godless) & Emily Mortimer. Worth your time.

What a complete and utter waste of time watching this miserable , boring old person talking about his miserable misled life , he really was a miserable person when he was young and didn't improve with age , his life story was probably one of the most boring its been my unfortunate fate to hear .There was no sense in the dialogue , do people really interact like that ?If so i'm glad i'm not acquaintances of them as i'd need to find a plastic bag and some cable ties for myself as i nearly did half way through the movie .Such a pretentious load of rubbish , who are making films like this and why are they wasting millions of pounds on this tripe ? And then other pretentious prigs pat them on the back and give them awards for drivel !Don't watch !

There is a fine line between enigmatic and tedious and this film is right on the line. Stunning cast but too much swapping between the present and the past, too many white, middle class, unpleasant characters. The 'change' in the main character felt tacked on and implausible. Why were the lesbians a joke? Is this the new way to deal with lesbians on film, to include them but make them a bit of a joke? I disliked the feeling that young Veronica was 'cold' because she did not put out. If I was meant to be struggling as I left the cinema and indeed for much of the night then the film succeeds but I did not like it.

Here is everything for a good movie experience, a strong drama with some of the best in terms of actors, director, script, etc. But nevertheless, the movie is never really good. I just don't get it. The film alternates between the present and the past. It works fine. But the story is made more complicated than it actually is, and it is said too constrained and complicated. During the film I was waiting for clarifications, that come to late. Another problem with this movie is that it's too slow and long- lasting. It could certainly have been the cut, without it having been at the expense of the story. I also had problems getting to understand the main character, and to sympathize with him. He is too bland and it takes too long for the audience to understand what he wants and his reactions when the story is told. The best thing about the movie is a strong message and the good actors. Having said that, I still notice that Charlotte Rampling's character does not quite come true, and she becomes a figure I did not really understand and get to know. Maybe that's the meaning? Far from the best British drama.
