Watch Wicker Park For Free

It is a performances centric movie

Good concept, poorly executed.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This film is a very good adaption of the French film L Appartement. Actually the Hollywood version is an improvement of the original. In Wicker Park the main characters as played by Josh Hartnett, Diane Krueger, Rose Byrne and Matthew Lillard are likable despite their double life or shortcomings which they might be harbouring. One actually cares about the characters and the intriguing story which is told partially in flashback, unlike the French film where the characters all seemed to be Jerks. The way the film progresses, reflects the disjointed mind of the main protagonists as some sort of misfortune seems to keep the two main lovers apart whilst a second romance continuously fails to materialize. This film and the original French one apparently are a loose adaption of the Shakespeare comedy a Midsummer's Night dream. The French film is certainly not a comedy but this one is imbued with a certain lightheartedness despite the proceedings, that makes it very palpable. A recommended watch, characters continue to live on after the film ends

Twisty, flashback(and forth) "romantic" (well, sort of) melodrama has Rose Byrne stealing the film as a lovestruck theatre actress doing everything she can to keep performance artist Diane Kruger and ad exec Josh Hartnett apart. Responsible for the distance that kept Hartnett and Kruger from living together and continuing their romance, Byrne wants Hartnett for herself, seemingly living in a fantasy where she might have him if her efforts pay off. It gets complicated when Byrne enters a relationship with Matthew Lillard, Hartnett's pal! It seems Byrne will do whatever it takes--including using the best friend, leading him on to believe there's a possibility of love and romance--to secure Hartnett, but will she be able to continue the deception? The film is challenging, taking us backwards and forwards to show us how Hartnett wound up with the sister of a colleague he works for at his firm, why he is so determined to find Krueger, how he first saw Krueger and fell in love immediately, how Byrne found Hartnett and fell in love with him immediately, the steps Byrne took (like erasing messages on an answering machine, holding onto a letter, using phone calls to draw Krueger away where she can't be seen by Hartnett, sleeping in Krueger's place and taking her name to keep Hartnett from knowing she had returned from Paris, etc) to try and maintain the separation Hartnett and Krueger have, how Lillard is kept in the dark regarding Byrne's attraction to Hartnett and why she is so elusive towards him emotionally (Hartnett doesn't realize Byrne and Lillard are dating, either!), and how Byrne became associated with Krueger (adjacent apartments).All four performers put forth all the effort their talents could afford, with Byrne positing all the anguish and heart-felt desire her lovelorn character goes through. The obsessive quest of Hartnett to find his beloved (before and after he gains her love) can be borderline creepy at times (in her apartment, for instance or watching her while she trains at a gym), but when Coldplay starts up at the end, you kind of can't help but celebrate their coming together. But Byrne's aching is palpable…she does some horrible things (as she attests to at the end) but it is because she adores Hartnett so much (even if it would never be returned in kind). Lillard, unfortunately, is stuck as the odd man out who was being led around for no purpose other than to be dumped when the time was apt. The difficult labyrinthine nature for which the plot is told could frustrate some, but I found the direction rather compelling in how Byrne, in particular, unfolds before us as a bone of contention against Hartnett and Krueger. The Chicago/Montreal location work and the affluent side of the city (cities) gives the plot extra pizazz. Unconventional storytelling that toys with missed opportunities and serendipity gone awry. Although it is extremely difficult to make her unglamorous, Byrne is presented early on as less than desirable (she's rather drab, with unsophisticated eyeliner), but after some time it is quite clear there's a lovely woman underneath the humble looks.

"When your mind becomes obsessed with anything, you filter everything else out and find that thing everywhere." © Pi (1998)The film is perfect! This is the most exciting film about love. I am ashamed that I had looked so late. I love detective stories. And when they are still developing on the basis of relations - is priceless. The entire film keeps you on your toes. Much credit for this soundtrack. Not often the music in the film bounces in memory, but here is stored everything from introductory Stereophonics - Maybe Tomorrow and ending Coldplay - The Scientist. It is very interesting how the film was shot. We see the fragments of memories, first one character, then another, and all this combined with no less interesting picture of the present. I recommended to fans for original romantic stories.Today it is my favorite movie about love. Writing about it is difficult, even more so that I may be a little naive, but I think it perfect.In the first place - because of the swirling extraordinary story, which was interesting to watch, interesting to guess the riddle that.Second - because of the divinely beautiful and talented Josh Hartnett and Diane Kruger, who, in my opinion, constituted one of the most harmonious couple in movie history.Third - because of the wonderful game Rose Byrne, who, despite all the twists and turns of the plot, too, makes us to some extent empathize and sympathize her.Fourth - because of the unique atmosphere, woven from the soundtrack, great camera work and the overall style of the film.Well, in the fifth - because of the extraordinary passionate love story.This is film you want to watch again and again. First, to clarify for all the details of what is happening, to place on the scene, which are scattered throughout the film. And then - just to enjoy the atmosphere, the beauty of the people, music, staff .. I'm doing punctually last 2 years.Josh Hartnett as always great! These movies just for him. The love story twisted abruptly than Shakespeare. At first there was nothing clear and even a little boring. However, lethargy soon gave way to a thirst to know what will happen next. And then to open all new and new details, fueling interest. And most importantly, to me personally, this film shows is absolutely not predictable. I usually guess how the story will turn on, but not in this case.What could be more dangerous love triangle? It destroys lives and fate of three people and rarely leads even to something good. Basically a love triangle - it tears and grief, and rarely get a happy ending ... But it turns out, there is a love square...And it is in this square get Matthew, Lisa, Alex and Luke. And to help the main characters out of the situation can only be sincere and deep love, which is good, is present in their hearts, and helps to overcome all the trials which, I must say, oh how is not easy! I immerse yourself in such a tremendous atmosphere of love and loss, happiness and suffering.Wicker Park - it is an obsession - a movie about intrigue. Alex begins to intrigue right from the start. She has done everything so clearly and correctly that the viewer who saw the situation in the first part of the film through the eyes of Matthew understands that he simply does not have a chance of a happy ending, but Matt does not give up, that does him honor. The viewer thinks that this obsession of love will not to anything good, it will all end very sad, perhaps he would go mad from the senses, but no! It due to his quest Matt and Lisa are reunited, and two hearts, get all what so long dreamed of.I'm not really a professional to judge the acting and the work of the director. I just like the film. For ingenious plot and casting! The film with mysteries and unexpected responses in its atmosphere. But Wicker Park, for me, definitely deserves a higher valuation! A great movie. Wonderful acting. The plot makes frantically to think what will happen in the end. After watching the aftertaste remains, the thoughts that do not come out of your head. This is the most remarkable. Thank all for this masterpiece!I watched the movie several times, and each of my view ends in tears. These are tears of happiness and charm. Great movie, good acting and strong plot - nothing disappointed. I can confidently say that he is one of my favorite movies.
