A good movie

Posted : 7 years, 10 months ago on 25 May 2016 09:18

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since I always had a weak spot for Lasse Hallstrom’s work, I was quite eager to check it out. On top of that, there was a top cast involved (Kevin Spacey, Julianne Moore, Judi Dench, Cate Blanchett, Pete Postlethwaite, Scott Glenn, Rhys Ifans) so it really sounded promising. This movie followed up ‘Chocolat’ which was a critical success but, to be honest, I always had a hard time to care for this movie and I actually preferred this flick which didn’t get much love when it was released. I mean, I have to admit it, the story was either too far-fetched or too dull to become really amazing but, this tale  was not bad at all and, in contrary to ‘Chocolat’, the tone was much more consistent in my opinion. Furthermore, it was shot on location in Newfoundland, it looked pretty neat and, even though the story was not really strong, the characters were still interesting thanks to the fine actors involved.  To conclude, in spite of its flaws and even though it was nothing really amazing, I thought it was still a decent watch and I think it is worth a look, especially if you are interested in Lasse Hallstroms work.
