Audience Reviews

julie b Moving, tender, and heartbreaking, with lots of space and silence to sit in; it’s subdued (a little too much so for me) yet unravels quickly. Has that aftersun vibe of seeing your parents as real, complicated people, not just your parents. Someone please give sweet Joe a big hug!!! Great performances - especially Carrie as a woman unraveling, and Ed as our eyes and the poor son trying to hold it together; Jake is also good but not much air time. Also very strong for a first film by Paul Dano, surprised that it’s a debut and also to not have seen more since then!!“I feel like I need to wake up. But I don’t know what from. Or to” Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review David W While the pace is on the slow side for my preference, the superb acting from its leads and excellent cinematography more than made up for it. I would watch this again. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Ian W Paul Dano directs. Jake Gyllenhaal and Carrie Mulligan star. What could possibly go wrong. Well, it transpires lots. Dull, dull, dull. Slow moving. Glacial pace. Mulligan has an improbable liaison with a deeply unattractive second hand car dealer. Depressing stuff. I was glad when it was all over. Critics got this one badly wrong because they'd made their minds up it was 'great' before watching. It wasn't great. It was boring. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/01/23 Full Review peter S I love these actors but the movie is nothing short of terrible thanks to the director and the adaptation of the novel. Are these people supposed to be in their mid thirties or in their mid eighties? Because they have them sleep through life or pretend to be in their 80s, I was not sure. This movie has no energy. The characters don't seem to be alive. That being said there is not much action in the story either. Did the director think it could make a 15 minutes story into a 90 minutes movie by telling the actors to go super slow like a slow motion through life? Ridiculous. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review casnien Still can't get over the camera work in this movie on my second watch, incredible. Carey Mulligan is incredible in this movie, as well as Jake Gyllenhaal and Ed Oxenbould. The screenplay is so interesting, how someone can become someone so evil, just for the money and the regonition. I really dont know much else i can say about this movie, experience it for yourself and you will see what i mean by that. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Actor-turned-director Paul Dano's intimate indie is compelling of course but in a 100 minute runtime the film doesn't seem to have much of a third act or fitting resolution.
