Sorry, this movie sucks

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

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

This is not the sort of film I like. I started watching it, realised my mistake but kept watching to the end.There was way too much misery in this film for me. Being brought to tears is not my idea of entertainment. I wasn't, but that did seem to be the aim of this film. There were happy moments, of course, but these were outweighed by misery and anger.

why is it a must see? because this movie is heart breaking, tear jerking, mind blowing sad. The truth is the story is ordinary just like any other Drama that you might or might not shed a tear or two over, however, the power of this movie lies in the incredible performance of Carey Mulligan, Susan Sarandon and most importantly Pierce Brosnan. Personally, I have always found Brosnan awkward in his roles and I never found any of his previous performances gripping until I watched The Greatest that is. Some people might say that the screenplay was exaggerated, therefore killing the beauty of the performance. However I have to disagree with this because if anything, the performance of the above mentioned stars brought an element of realism to the story which made it hard for the audience not to relate to at least some part of it. In addition to the incredible performance, I think the camera techniques worked especially well. The Director adopted a 'cold' atmosphere that can almost be called 'raw' but that would be a deceptive term in this context. I highly recommend this movie, unfortunately it's very underrated despite the exceptional performance by fantastic stars

I kind of cried a lot of times during the movie... (* embarrassed*) Really touched me how the small moments and the acting came through. The huge emotional hardships... The hurting... The missing moments that was missing by mistakes of someone... The problems we arise ourselves with our human small-mindedness... This movie makes you realize how f*ed up we are, and still, we can do so much more... and when we LOVE! ... if we LOVE and we give a chance to each other within our really screwed up world, we can fix everything, and give hope to each other for a better future and for each other to make things right...Every little seconds passed in this movie, was visible on their (actor's) face that counts a lot for me in this move.Will watch it again thats for sure!

The subject matter seems simple. Boy gets girl pregnant and dies in road traffic accident, and his passing opens all kinds of wounds within his grieving family. But this story is far from a simple one about grief, as it explores jealousy, morbidity, self destruction, and so much more, as Rose, the pregnant girlfriend, pieces together the picture of Bennett the boy she has secretly loved for four years but really only known for just a few hours.Beautifully acted with powerful performances all round, this film is a carefully guided tour about emotional healing processes which is never over sentimental. There are several memorable moments in this film where relationships are threaded together or torn apart by virtue of the wonderful script. The film is exceedingly well edited.You will see more entertaining films but if you are looking for depth of character and well crafted story telling then this takes some beating.
