Excellent, Without a doubt!!
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
I loved almost every word of this script. With so much other great writing under his belt, I'm not sure how Victor Levin is able to remain in his skin. Even the ordinary words are placed like jewels in the sky. Most of the voice-over narrative read like a great literary novel, as it should. Certain other parts were also beyond well-done, for instance, the "good-bye" letter from Arielle. I wouldn't change a word.However, the casting did not reach to touch what the words were attempting to make flesh. The main character, Brian Bloom, was too young or too underwhelming or too lacking in passion to meet the expectations and hopes I had for his character; the love interets, Arielle Pierpont, was too predictable of a classic, standard-issue French lover to be believed as someone who would throw her entire life away, to give her heart to such a young man. Both needed something extra or different to create the needed chemistry for them to be sympathetic to the viewer--Brian to be more outwardly passionate and perhaps mature, Arielle to be covertly needier and quirkier than a collected dipomat's wife might be. I stayed with them in their affair, but more for what I had hoped for them than what they actually shared. For any romantic movie, the lovers must match. For this film, the lovers needed not just match, but create an epic type of passion that drags the viewer in an causes the viewer to be just as heartbroken, just as destroyed as the characters themselves. And, yes, the parting destroyed him and her both. Yes, time and a more mature view of life gave them both the ability to embrace the gift they had for that moment of time. But that gratitude could have been much greater if the on-screen passion of the actors and the desire of the characters themselves were also splashed across the screen with a little more of a Jackson Pollack type of abandon. 'If the casting and direction were a bit more senstive, this could have been another Dr. Zhivago but with less production costs.Would I watch it again? Sure! But only if it were a rainy day, I had plenty of popcorn, and I could share it with a woman I had a secret crush on.
It'd be a great movie if it's done by a rich kid from a film school with lots of money to hire these actors. A great example to show that putting nice faces and landscapes together won't make a good movie. The lines are too predictable, and the visual is just mediocre (tell me it's all shot with an iPhone). I asked why it's such a self indulging masturbation. And the answer is here (on iMDb). Directed by the writer. Too much ego. No one probably wanted to direct it or be kind to let him know it's a total crap.
Lately I watched 5 to 7 movie on Netflix. I was very tired and was looking for a movie to relax and enjoy dinner time before I go to sleep. And 5 to 7 played its role very well in that respect. It's a perfect movie for such need. As you can see in the trailer it is a story based on very unusual idea of relationship based on two hour meeting per day. Lot of questions comes into your mind while watching this movie making you deny this idea presented in the here but remember that this is just a story telling. And this movie has this consistent soothing and loving tone which keep suppressing those thoughts and make you enjoy the story. Anton & Bérénice played the leading characters amazingly. Anton played a role of young American writer fighting to understand and be part of this unusual relationship. He was expected to be a harmless person in love and trying to be as ethical as possible. Bérénice played a role of older married french women who is charming enough to make you forget about everything and just be in love with her. Their costumes were chosen very nicely to give this movie both french & American touch. Some scenes shows you the dreamy lights of love in a city. Last but not the least this movie also capture the joy of friendship through an unrealistic character. Overall it was a perfectly balanced movie to watch beside your loved ones and I really enjoyed it.
I gave this movie a ten for the simple fact if a movie I go into knowing nothing about and not having high expectations leaves me with a tear in my eye at the end then it deserves the rating. It was filmed beautifully, the characters were amazing the relationship between anton and Bérénice I found mesmerizing, the fact that she at the time of the films release was 35 and anton 25 a ten year age difference and on screen you could see she was slightly more of an older woman than him with his young boyish looks anyway but I think it made the film for me a 30 year old exciting. I mean who wouldn't want a beautiful woman like that loving you in such a way as was shown in this great movie. I loved the ending I loved the last 10 min build up to the ending. I love it was based around this boys dream of being a writer I loved the Concept shown near the end when he is reading the letter it shows you Bérénice noticing anton first in the steet really changes the way I saw the movie as the beginning you are led to believe that he spotted her first when that wasn't the case and I think this was shown in a brilliant way at the very right time in the movie, she had already seen him and was daydreaming about him just before he saw her and daydreamed about her before approaching and I just that a touching moment in this movie . The dad of anton played his part great as did the wife but he added something a tad more special to his role for me . It had touches of the movie before sunrise in their for me not the same movie but certain elements. Anyway if you like a different kind of basic love story and one with fantastic acting on both the main characters parts then this is an absolute must . Rip to the late anton yelchin.
