Georgan G @RT98616417 Jun 24, 2023 As it neared the end I figured out what was happening. The acting & visuals were absolutely moving. Don't know why others didn't like this film.

See more andrea c @Charst Jul 21, 2021 Non si può certo dire che questo film sia poco originale; la trama è piena di elementi che uniti la rendono abbastanza unica nel suo genere. Certo è che la regia ha qualcosa dell'orrido; a partire dalla terribile scelta di colori che fa sembrare ogni conversazione provenire direttamente dal paradiso. Inoltre il montaggio è confusionario e poco coerente con lo sviluppo. I personaggi sono troppo poco sviluppati, specialmente la detective e la suocera sono del tutto esclusi da ogni tipo di attenzione che invece avrebbe potuto fornire molti più elementi alla storia.

There is a "big" twist in the end but I guess you figured that out a bit before they let you in on the "big twist". Apart from that, a good movie, with a good script. I liked the camera work when they switched to something upside down or to the place Louis was while in his coma. Very beautiful locations and a good cast. I was pleasantly surprised by Aiden Longworth who plays Louis Drax. I wasn't sure whether to love or to hate him, to be honest. I'm basically in love with both Jamie Dornan and Sarah Gadon so not much to complain about for me there. I must say that Sarah Gadon her acting stood out for me. She did really really well. Someone who also surprised me was Oliver Platt as Dr. Perez. I can't remember seeing him in any other movie before, but I think he is a pretty good actor. The casting for this movie altogether was very well done. Aaron Paul as Peter Drax was a brilliant choice (you'll get that once you watch the movie), his face just fits the character so well. Not my favorite movie but if you enjoy thrillers with kind of messed up people and twists, you should watch this for sure. See more Mar 14, 2019 The movie was slow, so goddamn slow. We are fooled into thinking there is some supernatural element, which there really isn't. The pointless love story that gets plopped in also feels unnecessary, without it the story would still work the same. See more Dec 28, 2018 The story follows accident prone Louis Drax who has one final accident when he falls off a cliff during a family picnic. This results in Louis being left comatose, his father missing being the chief suspect in Louis's "accident" and his distraught mother revealing secrets of their lives together to the concerned specialist who is looking after Louis in his comatose state. We here stories of what lead to this unfortunate accident from his mother, his psychiatrist and Louis who is trapped in some sort of fantasy dreamland limbo with a strange creature who is helping him navigate this new world. I really enjoyed this film, it was a decent mystery with a powerful and emotion-fuelled ending. Well worth seeing. I will perhaps have to read the book now (the wrong way around I know) as reading other reviews has revealed they changed the ending from the book. See more Read all reviews
