Personal Shopper Reviews

Since I kept hearing some interesting things about this movie, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, to be honest, I thought the damned thing was quite a mess. Basically, Olivier Assayas delivered a fairly realistic feature with some paranormal elements and while this mix was interesting, it was never completely convincing. Basically, Assayas had wrapped this movie into a cloud of mystery but even though it was effective, it was also fairly easy and, in my opinion, it made the whole thing equally intriguing and frustrating to behold. For example, even though you spent the whole duration with the main character, eventually, you don’t get to learn much about her after all. However, I won’t blame Kristen Stewart who gave here one hell of a one-woman-show though. Indeed, it’s such a shame that she will be always remembered for the ‘Twilight’ franchise because I always thought she had some potential. In this movie, she was quite spellbinding to behold and she probably gave her best performance so far. On top of that, there is no doubt that it was an interesting ghost story with a much more interesting approach than the one you usually get from your average Hollywood production like ‘The Sixth Sense’ or ‘Paranormal Activity’ for example. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, it was a decent watch and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
