Really Surprised!
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
because it's a pure stinker that nobody wants to watch ! OK i didn't have the subtitles so i couldn't grasp the conversations but here the summary of what i have understood: a group of friends are in vacations in a cottage near a lake : they prepare a meal, they eat it, they have a coffee break while Jenny speaks about a baby; then, they become obsessed by the yacht anchored in the lake : one guy swims to it and gets hurt ! Jenni reaches it by taking a boat and that's it ! So during 70 minutes, it's a plain, it's a drag ! Nothing happens, there is no tension, no talent behind the camera ! Like all the talkative movies, they fail to be interesting because instead of shooting the stories, they shoot the teller ! So maybe someone will find it a masterpiece but for me it's among the worst movies Jenny ever did !
...helps one to fall asleep. I've no idea what this film is about, except that it is several whiny 20-30 somethings together... including the obligatory minority who is one of three decent actors in the piece (though you wouldn't know it watching this)... and something to do with a screenplay. The dialogue (delivered as if reading from the script) is mostly about how misery loves company, 'gosh i feel really sorry about myself', and lets make the audience feel the same unless they're already put to sleep by the soft lulling of acoustic guitar...There's a ship floating in the water, one guy tries to swim to it and he hurts his foot... oh oops that 's the end... That pretty much sums up the whole thing.
So mannered and "actor-y" you want to scream, this film is notable only for the participation of the always-wonderful Dan Futterman. This is the nadir of Jennifer Connelly's self-conscious, "aren't-I-a-fine-actress?" film turns (at least she's not relying on her breasts as usual). Not worth the time.
I saw the movie... Oh my God... parts of it, because half of the time I was fighting against sleeping...The only thing that I take out of that crap is the great performer Jennifer Connelly....I would like to ask her agent why he (or her) scheduled a film like FAR HARBOR ....It`s a another pill like MELATONINE.....Thank you.
