Nonureva Really Surprised!

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

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

filmchasing One tragic event leads a man into a downward spiral.My two main issues: the script is missing a lot. Without character development, the character motivations are unclear & the characters themselves aren't likable.Second, Joe's dialogue is weak and makes no logical sense unless he's lost the ability to argue/speak for himself. Great actors aside, strong performances still can't salvage a film with an incomplete storyline (run time: 100min), although it has the potentials of a decent thriller.Even if the production values are good & the visuals are nice, this film's not good enough.

jamesgill-1 The opening scene of this film alone makes it worth watching - a stunningly photographed piece that sets the tone of domestic horror that will give the film its dramatic impetus. Like the serenely drifting balloon that belies the tragedy to come, the cinematography drives the film calmly yet compellingly towards its brutal climax.This is a film that has the courage of its conviction in terms of narrative pacing - there are some stiflingly slow scenes that never feel the need to speed up, instead taking pleasure in winding our nerves ever tighter round the characters' distressing situations.Daniel Craig arguably has more presence in this film with only a pair of spectacles than he would ever come to have whilst hidden behind bulging muscles and snappy cars as James Bond. Rhys Ifans works best in roles where he has the opportunity to have more of a tongue-in-cheek attitude to the character he is playing. Watching him in this film without any sense of his cutting irony, therefore, is unfortunately a slightly bland experience. At some moments, however, he does manage to display the kind of pitiable yet violent behaviour required for the role.This film's star turn is down to the people behind the character. Unfortunately, the best moments of the film are in the first five minutes - the film always struggles to live up to these chillingly enchanting opening moments.James Gill (Twitter @jg8608)

Jay Harris Enduring Love was directed by Robert Michell, Joe Penhall wrote the screenplay,adapting Ian McEwan's novel.Daniel Craig,Rhys Ifans & Samantha Morton star in this rather strange drama. It starts off with a tragic accident, & one death. This part is very interesting, exciting & well done. This is the first 10 minutes of the film, then the remaining 90 minutes is all talking,(low key), It does get more dramatic towards the end. The script at times seems confusing, even though its mostly 2 or 3 people talking.The talk is interesting (its about love & life). The acting is the main reason to see this film. Daniel Craig made this 2 years before he became James Bond. Here he is not as pumped up as he was in Casino Royale. He is an excellent actor & definitely handles this role very well, so does Samantha Morton & as his girl friend. Miss Morton is very talented.The third character is Rhys Ifans, one of the newer actors & He will be a top draw performer very soon, (Think of a younger Christopher Walkin). Bill Nighy gives another delightful performance as he usually does.This is a hard film to review for me: as much as I liked the acting, sets, locations etc. I found the story on the dull side.. my 3 star rating (below) is at the bottom of the 3 star range.Its easy to see why this did not play in many theatres.(maximum of 50 in USA late 2004) Its R rating is mainly for the F word used throughout, BUT this is not a film for teens & younger.Ratings: *** (out of4) 80 points (out of 100) IMDb 8 (out of 10)

rob-carthy The opening balloon sequence is irrelevant. This is a 'noughties' middle class stalker movie. It works because the characters are very believable and the shocks are real world shocks as opposed to movie world over the top shocks. A slow burner that fizzles out rather than explodes made for me a very absorbing couple of hours. Despite its irrelevance - don't miss the balloon sequence! Apparently one needs to submit 10 lines of text. Personally I prefer short punchy reviews. Let's all stand up for short punchy reviews.Yes short punchy reviews and not these long winded affairs that everyone has to trawl about half way through until scrolling on to the next one in the hope that it is short and punchy. IMDb seems to think that most movies need a great dissertation where as in fact a short sharp punchy paragraph is all that is needed to sum the thing up.
