BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

YouHeart I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

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

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

cheergal I would think the book probably better than the movie although I never read it. The movie lost its focus half-way through. This movie never made into the mainstream release. Over the top terrorist plot might have some bearings. The director possibly thought it reflected the current events. However, it became avoidable by the audience. I also think it could do without to make the storyline whole. There were a lot of borrowing ideas all over the places. It's like I was watching "Dark Places" again. Sometimes, you have to trim the branches to help the tree to grow. Some reviews did not like American actress playing the lead role. I would say the studio had it released in the US in mind and with the American taking on the lead role would draw the audience. It just never made that far. It cost a lot to make the explosive scenes. I felt it was totally a waste. If they just stuck on the love scenes, that might help to get into the main distribution.Adapting the events bigger than the screen could carry is not feasible. This one is an example of it.

aroundM21 Incredibly slow. Long periods when they didn't find dialogue so filled it with repetitive monotonous piano music. A plot with a good centre but too many twists or 'devices' to be believable. Because of the tenuous plot, characters are more difficult to relate to or care about. Too many themes / subjects.So I didn't like it much ! I thought the above was a succinct review but now IMDb is making me write 10 lines, which is ironically similar to how I feel about the film actually given all the long slow panoramic shots over music while the actors look sad or longingly or suchlike. So yes this paragraph is just for that end, sorry everyone, but this review is less time than the film, so it's of some value. Ha !

kenjha An adulterous British woman tries to cope with the loss of her husband and infant son to a terrorist bombing at a soccer match. This film is a complete disaster, failing on all levels. The main problem is a script that seems to have no rhyme or reason and becomes increasingly dreary. The woman suffers from delusions and has random relationships with a reporter and a colleague of her husband's, but none of it is the least bit interesting. Williams is certainly a talented young actress but this is arguably her worst performance. She sports a thick Cockney accent that may be authentic sounding, but is also annoying and nearly incomprehensible.

dgilbert9 This movie had great potential to present the aftermath of a terrorist attack on the common man (woman) if I could have understood anything Michelle Williams was saying. Her accent sounded authentic but was not understandable - had no problems with the men but missed most of of the narration and dialog involving her. The music either drowned her out or her voice was so soft I could not understand it.The ending was also vague - the child born could have been any one of the three mens' baby. While it was not that significant to the over all theme, it would have been kind to the viewer to clarify.Of course, in my fantasy it was Ewan MacGregor's and they lived happily ever after.
