David W While the pace is on the slow side for my preference, the superb acting from its leads and excellent cinematography more than made up for it. I would watch this again. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Ian W Paul Dano directs. Jake Gyllenhaal and Carrie Mulligan star. What could possibly go wrong. Well, it transpires lots. Dull, dull, dull. Slow moving. Glacial pace. Mulligan has an improbable liaison with a deeply unattractive second hand car dealer. Depressing stuff. I was glad when it was all over. Critics got this one badly wrong because they'd made their minds up it was 'great' before watching. It wasn't great. It was boring. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/01/23 Full Review peter S I love these actors but the movie is nothing short of terrible thanks to the director and the adaptation of the novel. Are these people supposed to be in their mid thirties or in their mid eighties? Because they have them sleep through life or pretend to be in their 80s, I was not sure. This movie has no energy. The characters don't seem to be alive. That being said there is not much action in the story either. Did the director think it could make a 15 minutes story into a 90 minutes movie by telling the actors to go super slow like a slow motion through life? Ridiculous. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review casnien Still can't get over the camera work in this movie on my second watch, incredible. Carey Mulligan is incredible in this movie, as well as Jake Gyllenhaal and Ed Oxenbould. The screenplay is so interesting, how someone can become someone so evil, just for the money and the regonition. I really dont know much else i can say about this movie, experience it for yourself and you will see what i mean by that. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Actor-turned-director Paul Dano's intimate indie is compelling of course but in a 100 minute runtime the film doesn't seem to have much of a third act or fitting resolution. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review isla s This is a slow family based drama film set in the 1960s. Its very slow, plot wise but it seems clear early on that there are things going on which we're not necessarily fully aware of and so that kept me curious enough to keep watching - that and the 1960s setting, the fashions etc. Its very much a film about marriage, family life and trust; with the focus being on the son and his mother. If it was set in modern day and about an average family, I maybe wouldn't be quite so interested to keep watching but I found it a fairly light and easy watch regardless. I liked the sense that the viewer was about to uncover something fairly big at any moment. I wasn't surprised the son was concerned and doubtful about things relating to his father. I could tell quite early on that this was a book adaptation and indeed it is, its based on the book by Richard Ford. The slow plot development was the main clue, I'd say. This isn't a film that will appeal to everyone (few do that) but its not bad as a film about a family struggling to do well for themselves and to stay properly together. I won't say anymore so as not to provide any spoilers. I'm not sure I'd especially recommend this as such unless your already keen to see it, as it is quite slow and may bore some people but for what it is, its not too bad.
