Alain E @AlainE Jul 24 Interesting cinematography although I am not sure how one can appreciate the 3D effect. The story meanders and it’s not clear what the main point is supposed to be. Many people obviously hate James Franco writing that he is a terrible actor. I don’t think he bombs here, but the question is what is the meaning of this all. He accidentally hits a child driving. His mother is a devout Charlotte Gainsbourg. James Franco’s character goes through several relationships, but never with her. (They sleep together; just sleep). He is consumed by guilt. Eventually he is able to move forward. So, hopefully do we. See more ronald h @RT44372985 09/21/2022 This film is so slow moving that it's practically inert. James Franco, a one note actor, is perfect for his one note role as a self-absorbed, solipsistic novelist who accidentally runs over and kills a young child. There are a couple of bits that bring to mind Atom Egoyan's "The Sweet Hereafter", another movie about a tragedy that won't exactly brighten your day. At least that movie had mostly realistic dialogue. Some of the dialogue here is so awkward it made me wince. The best thing in the film is Charlotte Gainsbourg as the mother of the child whom Franco runs over. She's able to get some interesting nuance out of her limited role. Overall, though, this is barely worth sitting through. It is beautifully shot in 3D, but that's only a treat for the eyes and nothing else. See more 01/25/2018 This drama about a novelist who kills a little boy in a car accident while staying in contact with the mother over the years has a few really beautifully shot images. Still, similar to the protagonist, who is trying to end his life a few months later before going on a slow trip towards redemption, the emotions here are somewhat supressed and do not allow the audience to really feel with the characters. It doesn't help that some dialogs don't feel very life-like and the solution seems rather random. See more 02/02/2017 When James Franco, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Rachel McAdams altogether can't create any interest in a movie, something really bad must be behind it. For example the plot and the dialogues, or the director. Or the three things together.

James Franco has done a couple of unusual movies these past few years and none of them were good. See more 10/02/2016 It's a terrible film in so many ways - structurally, emotionally, credibly - that it's almost a perplexing marvel worth watching (and not least of which because it's beautifully shot and impeccably scored). It's a disjointed mess, putting Franco front and center in an all-too-familiar-of-late performance of purposefully flat affect, as he plays a cipher surrounded by horrible, horrible people who have less patience for his glacial journey of self-discovery than the average viewer.
