Bardlerx Strictly average movie

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

LeonLouisRicci Incest is one of those Unspoken, Utterly Repulsive Sexual Deviances that seems more Horrific when it Occurs with the Middle Class.Upper Crust, Rich and Bored Millionaires and Billionaires are Curiously Discussed, Written about and Shown in Books and Movies for Exploitation and Rubbernecking. The Hillbilly Variety is the Stuff of "You know you're a redneck when..." and Laughed at with only a Happy Cringe.Here We have one of those Idle Rich Stories (Based on a real-life family, but the more salacious sexual inclusions have been strongly contested by people who were there.). The Ultimate Tragic Homicides, and Criminally Insane Court Findings are Fact. It's the Sexual Stuff that is Disputed.Julianne Moore and Eddie Redmayne (two Oscar winners) Lead this Artsy Film that has a European Feel, and it is done with Extravagant Wardrobes and Set Pieces. The Script is Matter of Fact and Lacks a Certain Urgency and Feels Flat at times.The Dialog is Cutting and Aloof at the same time with Bursts of Profanity but the Movie Languishes and is Laconic to a Fault. It's all Meant to seem Real but Rarely does and just seems Ineffective.Overall, it's a Peek at the Rich and Infamous that can Disturb but Rarely does it Draw Empathy or is Fully Engaging. Worth a Watch for those that can take the Offbeat Sexual Stuff, but is Average All Around for this Type of Thing.

five_roads I honestly to god don't understand why the lousy ratings! This movie was brilliant! It's savage, it says there in the title! Don't expect your interior to stay relaxed as you digest this movie! The decor and the costumes are impeccable, Julianne Moore's acting is flawless and the twist is visceral! I wanna slap the people that rated this movie a 5 out of 10! It's a 10/10! If you like psychological thrillers, mystery and sci fi movies (my personal favorites), watch this one, it's quality fuckedupness!

Bene Cumb The plot is largely based on real events and persons - for me, it is a plus and additional value. Nevertheless, many scenes are peculiar, shocking - but still neither unrealistic nor artificial. Of course, one cannot expect dealing with topics like incest, mental illness, or vanity in a smooth and concealing manner. Such a rigorous stuff requires and expects strong and open actors - and the director and producers have managed to invite so great and versatile performers like Julianne Moore and Eddie Redmayne; they are very convincing and had certainly tough choices to make. The third leading actor, Stephen Dillane, and other supporting actors did not impress me so much, but still the movie is highly recommended to all them fond of profound dramas with a different touch - with "nasty" scenes expressed in a tasteful manner...

duerden60 Others have written some excellent reviews with which I agree so I don't feel the need to go on at length. When I started watching the movie, I was a little bored with it's meandering, talky style, but gradually got sucked into the story. Partly due to some excellent acting, (and may I mention young Barney Clark as the 12 year old Tony, perhaps slightly overshadowed by Eddie Redmayne, but who I thought brought a lot to the role.) As the tale unfolded, I enjoyed the scenery, the gentle pace and it struck me how unique it was and so refreshing after all the special effects, noise and mayhem of much from America. There was a lot missing from the plot, much left to one's imagination but despite that, I am glad I had the chance to see a flawed but enjoyable movie.
