Excellent, Without a doubt!!
To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
I may like love stories, but some of the ones I've seen are pretty cliché. But this one is different. Instead of a man seeing a woman walking down a street or working at a store, it's a man working as a janitor at a looney place and safe a woman's life from a creep and the woman followed him but never been on the outside world. When I watched it for the first time, I couldn't stop laughing and loving this brilliant movie. I love how when they continue their journey on the road they ended up falling in love with each other and called themselves a couple. If you want a different love story, this might be the one for you to watch and love.
Exceptional performances from both Evan Rachel Wood, playing a young woman with almost no social knowledge or skills, and Scott Speedman, as a shiftless young man no one will have an easy time liking. Together they pull of an almost perfect modern day fairy tale.I honestly can't say enough good things about Wood and Speedman's performances. They both conveyed so much emotion through simple facial expressions that their performances were just breathtaking.This is a movie you should add to your library, because you'll come back to it time and again. I just finished it and I'm already looking forward to seeing it again.I almost forgot about the rest of the movie. The story is simple but engaging, the supporting actors do their jobs with skill, and the director deserves a pat on the back for a job very well done. I laughed out loud and I'll admit to wiping away more than a few tears. The movie is just that good.Don't miss this one!
The movie starts off simple (no beating around the bush and stretching the story; it is straight to the point) with Jay (Scott Speedman) who is a janitor in a psychiatric hospital. Jay owes a lot of people money and is actually on probation for the janitor job. He likes to spend some of his time with some of the patients. But the psychiatrist does not approve of this as Jay usually provides them with porn materials and booze. Anyway, one night, he saves Daisy (Evan Rachel Wood), a newly admitted patient in the psychiatric hospital, from getting raped. From that point, Daisy follows Jay as she does not want to stay at the hospital. As the story unfolds, we learn that Daisy has never stepped out of her house her entire life when her mother was alive. She is different and her sense of communication is different as well. Daisy is naive and we even see her lack of awareness of social rules but her character is nevertheless charming and will warm your heart as she is innocent and genuine in her own way. Jay takes Daisy home for his brother's wedding. Things soon get messy as Jay's parents find out about the real identity of Daisy. This movie was heart warming and different. Evan Rachel Wood portrayed the character of Daisy so well. The way she acted confused in pure innocence and the way she responded to the environment around her was amazing. She played her role really well. Loved it!
Some original works of art should be better left alone but if one were so inclined to try a reboot, it should more than this what tasteless feeble attempt can offer.I saw the original German Barfuss which is a classic from star to finish. The original plot is coherent with great acting from the entire cast especially the leading actress (she's phenomenal) and the lead actor is great too. This remake has been made out to be a Hollywood rom-com version without any regard for plot and the lead actors are terrible.It's pointless to compare the two but I will highlight just one thing. For a movie titled Barefoot, the original movie starts with the leading actress walking to corridors of a mental hospital while the Hollywood remake starts in the promiscuous leading actor's bedroom. You can be the judge.
