Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

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

Jeffrey Dougal Somehow this movie escaped my attention for a few years. I love it when I find a sleeper that is really good - Spartan with Val Kilmer comes to mind.This movie runs the whole gamut of emotions, from the pleasantness of being in the beautiful English countryside, to the evil side of mankind. The story, acting, cinematography, everything was just great!

Christian Hernandez This movie is the next in line on my personal favorites. I haven't seen a movie this excellent since Francis Lawrence's I Am Legend! The acting in this movie was absolutely astonishing and graphically spectacular. Now I've heard that this movie is based off a book. Never before have I wanted to read a the book of a movie I've seen except for this time. Yep, that's how great this movie is. Now, the incest in this movie kind of threw me off but, it sure was a good choice for the story (I guess I don't mind it as much as others do). Now, this review may be just a tad but biased because I was just downright attracted to the main protagonist of the movie, her style and looks. Also, I'm a sucker for apocalyptic movies. Other than that, that's my honest review of this movie. I definitely recommend it to anyone who's a fan of movies like the ones I love.

NateWatchesCoolMovies How I Live Now is a frank, depressing but beautiful to look at vision of the start of a global disaster and how it affects people. Saoirse Ronan, an actress who impresses me more and more every time I see her in increasingly interesting projects, is perfect in the lead role. She's Daisy, a timid, oddball American girl with some form of OCD, who travels to the remote English countryside to stay with her aunt, cousins and friends in a cottage. She's somewhat of a dysfunctional girl, and initially is antisocial and confrontational towards her cousins, until the quiet, adventurous Eddie (George Mckay) sort of breaks her out of her shell. The romance that eventually blossoms between them is organically acted and lovely to watch. But trouble is on the horizon, in the form of some sort of nuclear crisis, involving ruthless foreign invaders, mass water contamination and uprooting of British citizens from their homes. We don't get any idea of what exactly the matter is, just hushed whispers from overheard phone calls her aunt is making to government reps that she works for. When she leaves them, they are mired in the country with no clue what to do or where to turn. When invaders drive them on a cross country journey to escape persecution and strife, the film flips over from its naive, picturesque opening and thrums with a very real feeling of danger and incredibly realistic depictions of atrocities that children/teenagers of that age shouldn't have to witness. It almost mirrors the loss of innocence we all experience, sometimes at all too young an age. They eventually get separated and must find each other, and a way out of the danger, back to their home. The filmmakers respect the gravity of the situation they are telling a story about, and don't sugarcoat anything. This results in some really horrible stuff that our heroes run into along the way, with scenes that don't shy away from the R rated stuff, despite there being kids involved. This is a brave move, and makes us more invested in what's going on because of this stark unwillingness to censor anything. This ain't no Hunger Games, folks. The flipside to that though, is the gorgeous cinematography and uplifting, ethereal soundtrack. Despite being about human suffering, it's an all out work of art in the sights and sounds department, the stunning countryside and warm, cozy house juxtaposed with the barren, unfamiliar compounds, grey forests and bereft towns that come later on. It's always awesome to see life at it's worst and best, both done well in and film. Bravo. There's young love too, of course. Marred by this maelstrom they are thrust into, but strong enough and well written enough to be yet another realistic, believable facet of the piece.

Dr Moo Incest and terrorism are both horrible. This is a movie that explores both.An Anerican teenager and her English cousin embark on a sexual relationship against the backdrop of WW3 but get separated and she must go on a journey to be reunited after a terror attack in London separates them.Phoned in performances meet flat direction in a movie that doesn't know whether it's trying to be thought provoking, romance or thriller and ends up falling short on all three instead of succeeding at any of them.Pure garbage. AVOID!
