I really don't know how to start to review this movie. It blown my mind. Wonderful story about life, courage and spirit to fight the pain. Hillary Swank was awesome colliding with the master in acting such as Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman which always fantastic from their experience. Marvelous script and cinematography bring up this movie to be semi-documentary style of movie that still respectable and enjoyable to watch more than once. They deserve all of their oscar appreciation, but even without all of that, they surely got high appreciation from all of the viewers around the world. Brilliant to highest level.
If you want to see the best performance from Mark Ruffalo and Laura Linney, this is the movie that you should watch. They are beautifully talented actor/actress and they really give us all the feeling that a brother and sister always has. Fantasticly directed by Kenneth Lonergan which make this beatifully story keeps its charm and aura in the movie. Lonergar made this movie sexy, warm, harsh, fragile and emotional which was actually fulfill what this movie about, a story about orphan brother and sister feeling and relationship. You must watch this one, I promise you'll love this.
This is the second best Denzel Washington movie after Training Day. The Story is marvelous and one of a kind. Great crime movie, terrifying and dramatic, Denzel and Dakota gave top knotch acting between them in this movie and you'll love the ending of this movie, one of the best ending you'll ever see. Highly recommended by my standard.
If you're looking for mature and emotional day-to-day human being acting of deep regret, loneliness and loss feeling caught on tape, this is the movie that you're looking for. By watching Tom Wilkinson and Sissy Spacek interact each other in the movie, you will feel the strong emotion and real life relationship of losing a son that being kill by somebody else because of something that they already aware of. These actor performed in this movie deserve their oscar nomination, however, the main point in this movie is weak, which is the story. So if you are interested to watch this movie, don't expect to much on the story, but pay attention on the acting of all the cast inside.
This is the most sexiest movie i've ever watched in my entire life till now, I believe no other movie can top this movie on the total package of emotion and sexyness. Great and beautifully performed oscar-worthy acting from all cast, inparticular Daniel Day-Lewis, Juliette Binoche and Lena Olin. Fantastic directing and cinematography by Phillip Kaufman supporting the beauty of this movie which has been very passionate, provocative, mind twisted and emotional from the first second. The plot will pull you up and down in each of every scene attributes by love, betrayal, survival and politics. All these pieces blend beautifully into one beautifully crafted piece of art. Incase you haven't see it, I highly recommend this movie to you
Bold, simple and real. It reminds me of City of God, however, this one is so much better since it is not only related to violence, but love to a child as well. Great acting from all cast and great directed by Gavin Hood. The feeling I got from watching this is that crime comes from poverty but surely cannot beat the love that already embedded in each individual. They deserve their oscar for the best foreign film even though it's a low budgeted movie. You need to watch this guys, low budget but great.
I really like this short movie, since I found it amusing on watching this one. I've watched before and After Darjeeling Limited. This short dialog movie was so intense, ridiculous and provocative at the same time while both Jason and Natalie exchange their line. Ending was so hilarious. Jason Schawrtzman was very funny and innocent while Natalie Portman are experience and mature in acting. Great combination.
