Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The Movie Diorama Let's put this into perspective, it's not nearly as horrific as 'Taken' but still this presents a perfectly plausible scenario. A young Australian woman travels to Berlin where she encounters a German school teacher. The two have a night of passion which consequently leads her to become trapped in his apartment. I have to get this off my chest immediately, this guy is absolutely insane. Not the psychopathic type (although we see glimpses of psychotic behaviour), but a very creepy controlled man who's natural personality blends in with the general public. It's not a case of "oh, I can tell he looks like woman kidnapper who likes to take pictures of them naked and then store them in a secret photo album", it's his ability to camouflage that truly frightens. I mean the setup in his apartment that seemingly replicates a lavish prison cell is somewhat unnerving. Teresa Palmer gave an extremely delicate performance. Being locked inside an apartment for eternity will slowly have detrimental effects to the mind, and she conveys that wonderfully. Small little traits like randomly spinning around on a chair shows how her sanity is deteriorating. There is plenty of psychological analysis in this thriller, a splash of Stockholm Syndrome and paranoia keeps the viewers enthralled in a suspense driven narrative. Shortland's direction and the cinematography enhanced the artistic style, where snow falls in slow motion to represent her yearn for freedom. The backstories of the two characters are casually explored, tiny glimpses into their lives. I appreciate that the story consists of just this scenario, but a deeper look into these characters would've created a richer emotional connection. The conclusion (if you could call it that) was slightly underwhelming with a few too many plot conveniences. Considering I went into this knowing nothing about the story, I was captivated throughout its entire runtime. A small suspenseful psychological thriller that is definitely worth checking out.

jtindahouse 'Berlin Syndrome' was setting itself up to be something great, but it just couldn't quite deliver the knock-out punch. I love the idea for the story. It's creepy and a little too real (this kind of thing happens more than people realise). The characters were also well created. They were believable and charming in their own dark ways. Then there were two very fine acting performances by Teresa Palmer and Max Riemelt. So why didn't I enjoy this film as much as I should have?The problem lies in the story development. There really isn't any. The film sets itself up and then just drifts along for the next two hours. Some films can get away with that but not when they run 20-30 minutes longer than they needed to. There was a lot that could have been left on the cutting room floor in this one. Then the ending came around and it was about as "meh" as you could possibly get. Very disappointing. Not a bad film, but if you're looking for something great, look elsewhere.

jtncsmistad A German guy with serious mommy abandonment issues takes a fetching Aussie tourist home in the new movie "Berlin Syndrome". Only he has no plans for her vacation abroad to continue.It's about a half hour too long, there are baffling scenes that don't take us anywhere, others rife with heavy-handed foreshadowing and the ending is disappointing. But look at it this way.It's nowhere near as unsatisfying as the unpleasantness this poor lass endures as the permanent guest of an unhinged host.

arthousefilms-68-939717 This movie was well-made and super compelling. I would give it 8 out of ten stars if I were a fan of this genre. Its set up is fantastic and its execution is really strong. Both the acting and directing were first rate!My problem is, I don't know anyone would make a movie like this. The premise is sick: a woman is kidnapped, held prisoner and sexually abused… with plenty of detail at each point. But I felt it was disgusting to watch. It felt yucky to give my time to a movie that is all about the the dark and sick side of humanity. If you like that kind of thing, then this is a really solid and creepy movie that would be great. It's actually an excellent portrayal of a sick human. It's just not my cup of tea.It also felt like the theme and story was lazy story-telling. Basically, get a creep, have him sadistically dominate an unwilling female, and then…SPOILERS.——— SPOILERS——— have her turn the tables and get revenge. You could take any sadistic loser, have him kidnap anyone weaker, and have instant screen drama. That's why I say the storytelling is lazy. With some adequate directing and acting, this story could have been made by anybody.My big problem, apart from the sickness of the theme, was the implausibility of her captivity… as well as her inability to escape.There could have been a thousand times where should have hit him over the head with a frying pan or stabbed him in the heart, but it never happened and was never even considered by the victim character, Claire.Additionally, her attempts to escape were pathetically weak. The windows were "reinforced" but she could have easily dug out the wooden window frames that were holding the glass. She could have tried to break through walls. She could have lain in wait to kill the guy when he came home. And on and on. A truly desperate person would have been able to escape that place, especially when the captor is away at work the whole day, every day.Other than the implausibility, this movie would be engaging and dramatic to watch… if one is into that kind of thing.
