Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
The Couchpotatoes Although I like the mystery genre this time I wasn't completely satisfied. There was just too much going on, back and forth from the present to the past, too many characters, that results in a too confused story to follow. The acting was good though, certainly nothing bad to say about that. The filming was good too. Just too bad it was all that confusing and a also bit slow at times. Why they put this movie in the western genre is also a mystery to me. It's not because it's in Texas and that people wear cowboy hats that it's a western. But the movie is worth a watch, you won't get bored. I won't watch it a second time though, once is enough.
kellybailey-23521 Nothing to invest in, didn't care about anything or anyone I was watching. SO BORING.I gave it 2 stars because it's a nice looking film.
rndpaull After watching this garbage twice(once with subtitles) I am still in the dark as to "who dun it". What a convoluted bewildering story made all the more so by time shifting and similar looking suspects. 0 stars!! Waste of time.
sarahmmagill Scent of Rain and Lightning (an adaptation of the novel by Nancy Pickard) upends expectations at every twisted turn. Anchored by a strong script from RUDDERLESS writers Casey Twenter and Jeff Robison, the film refuses to comply with the usual genre rules. Styled as a Western, flirting at the edges of a who-don-it, the film ultimately questions if we can truly know the truths of our personal histories...let alone understand them. Director Blake Robbins's extreme close-ups create a feeling of confusion and claustrophobia while a stellar cast hints at unseen histories. Watch for Maggie Grace's enigmatic portrayal of the headstrong, paradoxical Laurie.
