Watch The Changeover For Free

Too much of everything

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

A 5 on a 1-10 scale of watching something while bored. It has some interesting parts, but it's certainly not something I'd be yearning to see. Like I said above....if I'm bored, and I have nothing to do and I want to watch a movie, then if all the movies I really want to see aren't options..... out of what might be left, I'd give this a 5. Maybe 4. But I'm giving it an overall of 3 which might be a little generous right now. It did have a few unexpected interesting & scary scenes though. Many things to say, but I don't want to want create any spoilers.

This was a great film, so imaginative just loved it. I could relate to the story line very well. I also really enjoyed that it was shot in Christchurch post earth quake, what a perfect back drop. This film has a beautiful cinematic presence, weaving the story with the images is great film making well done. The lead actress is just divine to watch, it's great to see strong woman in film this delivered.

If I had to pick one, and only one thing about the movie, it would have to be cinematography. That movie was carried, emotionally, by stunningly skillful cinematography. The interaction between narrative and camera work was very close and very clever. It is worth seeing for the cinematography alone, but cinematography is not alone in making it worth seeing. It is magical. Magical realism. Totally believable, sensitively portraying the craft, but above all, simply, magical.Acting: You will love newcomer Erana James, and the chemistry between her and Nick Galitzine. But here I just want to pick out Timothy Spall for the fact that he can make you think, 'oh, come on, Carmody Braque's not so bad...' when you know full well that he is, he is that bad. Oh, and Lucy Lawless for command of silence. A big one, of course, for lovers of the book, is the screenplay. Yes, yes, yes, it absolutely had to be updated. It is a story about the craft in the now, so now it must be. This, I think, drove a lot of the decision making for the movie...? Of course it had to be Christchurch, the city is a character in the story. No, it is not 'the book' and I never expected it to be, nor should it be. It was tight, focused and tells the right story in the right way. What you experience is the emotional journey - a female story - told in emotional understanding and powerful imagery. OK, I am not a director and I don't know how to be one, but, like books and editors, I know when there has been one (or more)! The performances from the younger actors were surely created by the direction at least as much as by those actors themselves. That much is plain to see. What other magic was worked, I do not know, but I do know it was there from the result. And afterwards? What happened? I re-entered the world in a daze of sensitivity. Everything was hyper-real, every sound, every light ray, every colour, every sensation. I was.. in touch. Of course, it gradually faded, but I have not felt that alive in quite a while. Thank you.

I took my 12 year old daughter along to the premiere of this wonderful movie and we both loved every minute. It was suspenseful, a bit romantic, empowering and a little creepy. So nice to see a powerful young woman (Erana James) discovering her true self and shining through. Loved Timothy Spall bringing the creep. Was emotional seeing my home town as the location but felt a sense of pride at the same time. I haven't read the book yet but will now. Would definitely watch this again and I don't say that lightly as I dislike watching movies several times.
