Really Surprised!

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Where to begin with this movie... Saying the plot drags is an almost unforgivable understatement. It was easy enough to mostly figure out what was going on early in the movie and then the plot just repeats itself multiple times, telling you things you already know with painfully long takes of mostly aesthetically boring scenes, or gratuitous scenes of Scarlett Johnasson getting naked. Near the end, the twist is a variation of a predictable trope that doesn't lead anywhere meaningful and then the movie dies with a whimper.There is little character development, and almost no dialog. Scarlett Johansson's character, really the only character in the movie, is incredibly flat. It's logical for the character she plays, but that character's story just isn't interesting enough to dedicate an hour an 48 minutes to.The beginning of the movie has enough mystery to keep it interesting for a little while, and there are a couple striking, visually interesting scenes which pull it off of an otherwise well deserved 1 star rating for me. I feel this movie would have been much better as a short film, and all important elements could have been fit into 30 minutes.

I'm not even sure what I just watched. Maybe a little to " artsy" for me to understand. It was just awful.

This movie should have been titled "Scarlett drives around town in a van". It did have some interesting points to it, but all in all this movie left me shaking my head and wondering why. The Scottish accents were so heavy I couldn't understand half the dialogue, and Scarlett's character seemed to be utterly confused throughout the entire thing. I found myself rewinding it over and over just to try and figure certain things out. I'll be watching it again just to see if I can put it together a little better. Beautifully shot and the premise was good, but it seemed to deviate from that strongly. You'll either love it or hate it. Me? I haven't quite figured that out yet.

And I waked out of this movie. The only other movie where I walked out of the theater was Son in Law with Pauline Shore, but I snuck into that one. This was easily one the top five worst movies I've ever seen. Slow doesn't begin to describe it. It took her a full minute to take a bite of cake, for God's sake, and that's not an exaggeration.
