3/16/17. I wanted to watch this because I like Anton Yelchin. The fact he died so young from a tragic accident made me want to catch everything he did. Sadly, Yelchin came off as being somewhat awkward in this somewhat implausible romance. Perhaps people living in such circles act this way, but just seemed a bit unrealistic.
An unconventional take on a conventional theme. I enjoyed the French and the intriguing characters, but I found the many final, but not quite final ending-lines tiresome and thought they weakened an otherwise good film. NB: this movie is in English (well, 99% of the time)
I gave this movie a ten for the simple fact if a movie I go into knowing nothing about and not having high expectations leaves me with a tear in my eye at the end then it deserves the rating. It was filmed beautifully, the characters were amazing the relationship between anton and Bérénice I found mesmerizing, the fact that she at the time of the films release was 35 and anton 25 a ten year age difference and on screen you could see she was slightly more of an older woman than him with his young boyish looks anyway but I think it made the film for me a 30 year old exciting. I mean who wouldn't want a beautiful woman like that loving you in such a way as was shown in this great movie. I loved the ending I loved the last 10 min build up to the ending. I love it was based around this boys dream of being a writer I loved the Concept shown near the end when he is reading the letter it shows you Bérénice noticing anton first in the steet really changes the way I saw the movie as the beginning you are led to believe that he spotted her first when that wasn't the case and I think this was shown in a brilliant way at the very right time in the movie, she had already seen him and was daydreaming about him just before he saw her and daydreamed about her before approaching and I just that a touching moment in this movie . The dad of anton played his part great as did the wife but he added something a tad more special to his role for me . It had touches of the movie before sunrise in their for me not the same movie but certain elements. Anyway if you like a different kind of basic love story and one with fantastic acting on both the main characters parts then this is an absolute must . Rip to the late anton yelchin.
A 5 to 7 rating .... I do not judge movies for others or know what you might enjoy. I was so happy when this movie ended because there was no more time left to make any more mistakes.... however there were some few very enjoyable moments for me. So I gave it a 6...but I also agree with those who rated it lower. Beyond those moments I give it a 4 or 5 rating.... I ENJOYED HIS PARENTS...not the two lovers... The characters or script did not develop anything to show love and then all of a sudden they're willing to jump off forever and ever ....or not. A slap and a $250k check...right! I know the writer and the filmmaker wanted great love to be in the story but it was not anything I could see in this film. It could be a book report without images. They were telling a story but not showing it. They were reporting with little feeling. I found the movie story very unrealistic in my small world. Part of what an actor is TO ME are the roles they played before in other films. From a Star Trek bridge to romantic lead was a galactic stretch. If it were rewritten and redone as a light comedy, with a comedy minded director, it might be an OK cast . From my filmmaker's mind the cinematographic images were acceptable - safe. Mostly overcast soft lighting. Boring art wise. Often the lenses and full shots of her...were awkward looking. The story, and perhaps the way it was played were missing many things except boredom If I find myself doing other things while a movie is playing I know it is weak for me. I would not pay to own or rent this movie but on Netflix it's an OK watch. It is easy to be critical of what we do not enjoy fully. Easily rated 5 to 7
