A good movie

Even though 'One Hour Photo' is pretty much forgotten, I really enjoyed this movie and it is a real shame that he took Mark Romanek 8 years to finally come up with another feature. As a result, I was really to eager to watch this flick. First of all, I was quite impressed by the directing. Indeed, it was really different than his previous movie but it was still quite impressive. Above all, the eerie atmosphere was very well done and I really liked the idea of a SF story set in the past somehow. Furthermore, there was a really good cast (Carey Mulligan, Andrew Garfield, Keira Knightley, Charlotte Rampling, Sally Hawkins) and they all delivered some solid performances, especially Mulligan who honestly never really impressed me until I saw this flick. The plot was really intriguing and reminded me of 'The Island', the best and most underrated movie directed by Michael Bay, except that Romanek’s movie didn’t have all those unnecessary action scenes. Still, there were a few things that bothered me. First of all, the back and forth by Andrew Garfield between the two girls didn't really convince me. After 10 years, in a very touching scene, Knightley confesses her sins and, suddenly, he gets back with Mulligan. Couldn't he discover earlier, by himself, that he actually loved Mulligan all along? Furthermore, after spending 10 years in the 'real' world, shouldn't they have figured out that the rumors such as the deferrals were fake? Mulligan's character seemed especially way too bright for this. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, it was still a very original and fascinating SF feature and it is definitely worth a look.
