Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
hyped garbage
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
I found this movie incredibly depressing although I can not say I did not like it and I'm reluctant to criticize Marion Cotillard... Living in San Diego, CA my kids and I practically lived at SeaWorld... we loved it but most of all the trainers loved it. They were so happy and full of joy... this is where Marion completely lacked. While performing at the marine park she showed no joy, no laughter and barely smiled. She seemed defeated even before her accident which would have been fine if she didn't seem so heartbroken when she didn't think she'd be able to train again. I don't know... I came away scratching my head a little.
Greetings from Lithuania."Rust and Bone" (2012) is a terrific movie. The story itself isn't a simple as it might see because what this movie shows is a real life - it is down to earth reality. This is raw drama which doesn't shy away from anything, but at the same time it is inspiring one. Performances were superb by all involved. Marion Cotillard was amazing as Stéphanie who life turns upside down after a freak accident, but soon she starts a relationship which is this movies core. This is romance movie like i haven't seen in many moons. If you are looking some typical romantic drama, "Rust and Bone" has even shock you in its down to earth approach. Directing as well as writing were simply brilliant by Jacques Audiard. At running time 2 hours i was completely absorbed into this story, i cared for the characters which here aren't caricatures - this is as real as it gets.Overall, "Rust and Bone" is a powerhouse cinema. If you like completely down to earth drama with some romance, "Rust and Bone" is a must see.
Strong performances from the cast and the plot is actually unpredictable enough to keep me watching till the end. I also found it a bit depressing to watch as a movie. The infidelity of the French portrayed in this movie, well is, I would say a pretty accurate portrayal of how they are in real life. It's also quite horrible to watch in a way. I mean the movie glosses over it, like it's an accepted fact so both parties are happy with this. But all I see is that the female character takes so much pain and so much crap from the guy. The relationship is very one sided in that the girl seems to put in more than the guy does... but yes it's also a reminder that if a couple has chemistry and the right opportunities presented by circumstance, then the relationship might work even if the guy is a bit of a jerk. Still the movie's plot is quite unrealistic I think, and lots of sex scenes, which were not terrible but just a note you might want to make sure young children aren't around when you're watching this :)
I just cannot get this film out of my head. It touched me so deeply and I'm still trying to figure out why. It seems to me that it's a film which is almost impossible to define. I feel unable to do it any justice because it is so much more than the sum of its parts( but don't misunderstand me, its parts are v good) It is so subtle and complex that individual viewers will take very different things from it. Whatever else it may be though, it was in my view, one of the most convincing and touching love stories I've ever seen on screen. Top notch performances. Not an easy watch by any means, but so rewarding. What I admire most is the absolute refusal to resort to sentimentality. We feel what we feel, without manipulation. The minute it finished I wanted to watch it all over again and having done so I feel I am only just getting to grips with the many levels the film works on and its message/s. Even after several viewings certain aspects of it still puzzle me, but in a good way. Highly intelligent film making.
