SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
hshivers Like a newspaper article, "some stuff happened." If you like complete stories, not for you.
jwoodsvf14 Agyness Deyn is the mother Hannah. Not sure why it is not noted. Her role is fairly substantial. Just started watching but just the cast alone makes it worth your time.
holroydsa A very intelligently thought out and directed film. Beautifully shot in a stunning landscape. The film is emotional, eerie, thought provoking, disturbing (in an interesting way) and a refreshing change to the day to day films released. If you want to watch a 'change from the norm' film I would highly recommend people to watch.
Christophe Taddei I love dystopian films and therefore I really enjoy this film, yes as some critics mentioned there are a few set pieces / stories that aren't fully explained (The robot or cave scene for example) but the viewer needs to take this as a part of the overall world the film is set in. Why is the state depraving his citizen of wealth or technology? what happen to people that rebel, how to survive? what is freedom? all these questions are viewed from the young main protagonist that is delivering a really good performance. A film that makes you think is always a good thing, a film that doesn't have an happy ending is also always better...
