Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

wwiiboomer I enjoyed this screen version of the award winning novel by Julian Barnes, "The Sense of an Ending." The show was intriguing, yet, baffling for not reading the book. I was looking forward to my just rewards that you find revealed in the last act of most mysteries. However, no cigar. Reluctantly I had to do some fact finding to come to some sense of closure. The labor was well worth the effort because the story was compelling for all the right reasons. Veteran actors, quality cinematography and screenplay adaption. These qualities were subtle yet clever adding to the complexity of the story. In my opinion, this subtleness culminated to a stunning end ... but wait, what just happened? Huh?Piquing curiosity led my interest to the two poets who's poems were introduced. I was hopeful they would shed some light into making sense so I could bring this to closure. I looked them up, put them into context (my version in short form) as such ...The affirmation of life, excerpts from the poet Phillip Larkin, "Audabe" ... I work all day, and get half-drunk at night. Waking at four to soundless dark, I stare. In time the curtain-edges grow light. The sky is white as clay, with no sun--work has to be done.The celebration of life, excerpts from the poet Dylan Thomas, "Do not go gentle into that good night" ... Do not go gentle into that good night, old age should burn and rave at close of day; rage, rage against the dying of light.My intent is not to baffle, rather, challenge your wits for this is one show you'll have to watch for yourself and hopefully its mystery will reveal itself to you. Perhaps then you can tell me something I don't know ... (SMILE)

vishnu-dileep08 Summary (no spoilers)This movie is about a man who gets haunted by his past and is presented with a legacy which makes him rethink his whole current situation in life.My Review (no spoilers)The plot of this movie was above average with a slow start and a good ending. But a bit confusing it could have been explained in a much easier way. The genres suggest that this movie was a drama and mystery there was nothing much mystery about this movie but a good drama with a really good message shown to the viewers. What I learned from watching this movie was that even when you're really angry think before you react because the consequences can be unchangeable and really painful to us. The acting shown in this movie was really good by each of them.YES I would recommend people to watch this movie.My Rating 7/10

godfreygordon Slow,depressing and based on a thin storyline. Don't let all the luvvie comments fool you. Story lines like this are shown every week on soaps in the U.K. The movie is about a group of uninteresting clinically depressed people who make up the guilt complex of a sad old man. The film drones on for an hour and 38 minutes which feel like five hours. It is all in the ending, but I can tell you that there is nothing intriguing or even noteworthy about the ending. Watch an old movie instead.

phd_travel Don't bother with this movie - it's a jigsaw puzzle that shifts back and forth in time too often and just isn't worth the effort. The bad story that doesn't explain lots of things like why the guy really killed himself.Basically a man gets left some papers from an ex girlfriend's mother. The ex had left him for his best friend. This friend killed himself. What's the point of the story? The daughter Veronica was kind of faithless and the mother was a five letter word starting with w for sleeping with her daughter's boyfriend. Watched this movie for Michelle Dockery - but her role is pretty minor. This is one of those overrated British novels that was unnecessarily adapted into a movie.
