Reviews

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
fortionat1 Dark... sad. Reminds of start of Dickens 3rd chapter from Tale of Two Cities: A Wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other. A solemn consideration, when I enter a great city by night, that every one of those darkly clustered houses encloses its own secret; that every room in every one of them encloses its own secret; that every beating heart in the hundreds of thousands of breasts there, is, in some of its imaginings, a secret to the heart nearest it! Something of the awfulness, even of Death itself, is referable to this. No more can I turn the leaves of this dear book that I loved, and vainly hope in time to read it all. No more can I look into the depths of this unfathomable water, wherein, as momentary lights glanced into it, I have had glimpses of buried treasure and other things submerged. It was appointed that the book should shut with a a spring, for ever and for ever, when I had read but a page. It was appointed that the water should be locked in an eternal frost, when the light was playing on its surface, and I stood in ignorance on the shore. My friend is dead, my neighbour is dead, my love, the darling of my soul, is dead; it is the inexorable consolidation and perpetuation of the secret that was always in that individuality, and which I shall carry in mine to my life's end. In any of the burial-places of this city through which I pass, is there a sleeper more inscrutable than its busy inhabitants are, in their innermost personality, to me, or than I am to them?.

Family ruined and turned ugly, none of the parents wanted him and saw him as an obstacle, trying to get rid of him and how many problems he created in their lives. Nowhere to go, nobody in the world cared about him. Did he took his own life to set them all free?
Ivan Lalic Russian candidate for this year's foreign "oscar" is a typical European hard to watch and almost empty European kind of dramas, directed by the presently best director of the largest country in the world, Andrey Zvyagintsev. Naively praised in the West as a portrayalist of a stark and bleak life in Russia at the beginning of the 21st century, Andrey managed to film yet another universal movie story that everybody can relate to, painting the emptiness and absence of any kind of emotion for our youngest. Fanatically persistent in his empty shots, Zvyagintsev used two brilliant movie rookies and told a frightening script about selfishness and vanity that consequently lead to tragedy. If you are into real life stories and problems and have no problem with slow pace movie scripts, you should definitely watch "Loveless".
Andres-Camara It's a pity, when movies like that, they could be better and they stay in less. The movie is fine. The best, for me of the nominees in its category. But that beginning of several minutes without telling anything, landscapes and landscapes and not having taken more advantage of the child and a few moments, stops the film, make that being a movie that is good, do not get where you should have arrived.I've heard it many times and I'm sure that all that much also, that plane of the crying child is great. But it is also very well rolled. Not only has the child been crying, but also putting the mother in a part of the house to use to choreograph the child, following her with the camera. It is that it is very well thought out and realized. And seeing the boy with that face is brutal.It has a great picture. It can not be more frigid. Like the movie itself. It makes you cold. Sometimes it's too dark but great. It gets you not only in history, but also in that environment and civilization.The actors are great almost always. There is a moment that has disappointed me. When we see the father crying sitting and can not see his face, that scene, the actors fall, I do not know if the actor did not know how to do it or if the director has not been able to shoot it, but see an actor that is leaving the soul and record him without seeing him, it is a pity.There is too much sex in the movie. He does not paint anything and the sex scenes extend a lot. The director does not finish convincing me. I could have made a much better movie. He does not know how to always keep the rhythm of the movie. The movie is something distant. He does not know how to position the camera.Anyway, it's a movie to watch it
