SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
aethomson This is another take on "Romeo and Juliet". Prokofiev did it as ballet. Bernstein did it as musical. Zeffirelli and Luhrmann did it as movies. Tim van Dammen has filmed it as New Zealand rock opera.Gypsy curse, very Shakespeare. Sharp combinations of alternating poignant tenderness and cynical exploitation, very Globe Theatre. Pixie-faced Lizzie Brochere with the huge eyes, very Juliet. So where are the warring families, the Montagues and Capulets? They are America and France, different ways of seeing life. They are the English language and the French language, different ways of expressing life. And they don't need to be anywhere out there, because they are inside us. From the moment of our conception, from the moment of our birth, we start accumulating individuality and baggage, individuality and baggage that are going to make love impossible - or at the very least, difficult. We are all star-cross'd lovers.The problem with living more than four hundred years after Romeo first delivered the line: "If I profane with my unworthiest hand..." is how to make a doomed love credible, how to make us the audience care about the lovers and what they feel and what happens to them, and how to make it all look original, how to make it look archetypal but at the same time new. This film succeeds.
williams65 This is the film that made me write my first review of a film. It made me smile and almost cry in equal amounts. I found it neither predictable nor boring. I love the leading actress, beautiful to watch. The story has so many stories entwined within it, it was like unwrapping presents. Although a love story, it also explores the relationships that the lead characters, especially Sophie, have with other characters. It's not a happy ending but I'm not a happy ever after fan of American films. It's a Juliet and Romeo type of ending that leaves you slightly reeling. However, for all its quirkiness, the whole film had a really natural feel, even when dealing with unusual elements. I knew nothing of the director before watching this film and chose it solely on a brief synopsis on netflix. In my book, an excellent choice.
taprap9 i like Eric,hes really funny...but if i had to choose,Fall would b my choice of the two. i love his Showtime series and hope its back this year.this movie would have been better w/out so much sex stuff,but that seems to b his thing....i think he can act,he just needs different story lines.overall,i liked it OK,but think he can do a lot better!id like to see him in a romantic comedy.Eric is obviously very smart.If he is writing these,i wish he would try what i mentioned.hopefully he will come back with a movie that will shock us with quality.but his Showtime show i wouldn't miss.all in all ,i will still watch whatever hes in.i get a kick out of him.and i like his bf too.another smart guy.
shanna-282-519920 After Fall, Winter isn't a perfect movie, but the levels it goes to examine relationships at their most delicate hits home with anyone. Schaeffer has an amazing ability to create three dimensional characters who's flaws and problems feel real. To me that is the best of After Fall, Winter - the characters and world created. We don't have heroes with "first world problems," we have people we have seen in our everyday lives, right up there on the screen. The cast did an amazing job at accomplishing this task. A very impressive character study, I would recommend this film to anyone sick of watching rich people fall in love in NYC and live happily ever after (which I hope is the majority of film lovers).
