Beautiful and challenging, Bokeh has a pristine look and chilling feel of its own that contributes enormously to the mood and tone of the whole film. Read full review

Only worthwhile storytellers could take an elevator pitch like this one (the last two people on Earth) and produce long-lasting curiosity about its inherent beauty and horror. Read full review

Toward the end, the filmmakers relent on all the grieving sightseeing and offers up a couple plot developments, plus colloquies on matters geo- and theological. None of this proves as arresting as Iceland’s cliffs and horses, or those first moments of a city depopulated. Read full review

The drama’s power may dwindle, yet its end-of-the-world scenario remains oddly recognizable. Read full review

The result is a “What if?” exercise that ultimately doesn’t take its starting premise to any place that’s terribly interesting. However, for at least as long as it appears to be heading somewhere, Bokeh holds attention with polish and resourcefulness on a limited budget. Read full review

There’s a seed of an interesting, Twilight Zone premise here — what would you do if you were the last two people on earth? But Bokeh doesn’t seem to know what to do with it besides have its photogenic Adam-and-Eve leads take long nature walks, play board games, and upgrade their living conditions. Read full review

Because of this lack of dramatic momentum, the elements of Bokeh that do work best — the occasionally enrapturing cinematography, the dreamlike score, and the interesting-but-overused experiential editing — all wear thin halfway through. Read full review

I've noticed in recent years, that Iceland seems to double up a lot as a faraway Sci-Fi location - it gives good planet. But here Iceland is just being Iceland, in all its desolate glory.

That works well, because it's a desolate sort of film. Not a lot of laughs in this one, especially the finale. So if you're looking for a fun Sci-Fi romp, this isn't the film for you. On the other hand, if you want a movie that's about the moment, the nitty-gritty of the characters and their situation, I'd recommend it. Lots of very nice cinematography, not a huge amount of dialogue. It's brief (90 mins), which is just as well, because toward the end I was sort of over Iceland's empty beauty, and I really just wanted something to happen. Then when something did happen, it wasn’t what I wanted. I guess there’s no pleasing some people (me).… Expand

Tries to be philosophical but it's so unconvincing that you will need true patience to finish it because the worst of all is not that the story fails because of its lack of attractiveness despite the interesting of its premise, the worst of all is that its characters are too insufferable andTries to be philosophical but it's so unconvincing that you will need true patience to finish it because the worst of all is not that the story fails because of its lack of attractiveness despite the interesting of its premise, the worst of all is that its characters are too insufferable and very uninteresting.… Expand

Doesn't have much going for it. Characters are uninteresting and have zero personality. The uses of filming locations in Iceland seems more like a checklist for tourist destinations (I could recreate every scene using the pictures I took on my phone). Acting was pretty spotty. Save time byDoesn't have much going for it. Characters are uninteresting and have zero personality. The uses of filming locations in Iceland seems more like a checklist for tourist destinations (I could recreate every scene using the pictures I took on my phone). Acting was pretty spotty. Save time by looking at pictures of the Icelandic landscape yourself.

And despite having nothing resembling a plot, it manages to stick in sexist undertones of men being resourceful, level-headed survivors and women being overly emotional. So Bokeh has got that going for it, congrats.… Expand

Easily the worst film i've seen this year in regards to plot (There isnt really one). It looks beautiful though, shots are great but it doesnt go anywhere. If you are expecting to find out anything at the end, then dont bother.
