it was not a touching romance story, and the way how Nicholas fall in love with Kristen was stupid and silly, the idea was the Same idea of "the giver" about emotionless community, so nothing new in the overall story, it was boring andit was not a touching romance story, and the way how Nicholas fall in love with Kristen was stupid and silly, the idea was the Same idea of "the giver" about emotionless community, so nothing new in the overall story, it was boring and predictable, save your time and skip it

Far-fetched ridiculous nonsense. Control emotions? Who needs it? This nonsense I've seen in some other no less stupid movie. The protagonist of the whole movie goes with his mouth open and all the time is eating or drinking something. A lotFar-fetched ridiculous nonsense. Control emotions? Who needs it?

A lot of big eyes. many mouths closeup. many scenes in the shower - that's the whole movie… Expand

I saw it for the hot Kristen Stewart but was even disappointed in the use of her. Very boring and shallow movie. The point of the movie clearly wasn't to make money but show off filming art. But this copied style of filmaking is best sceneI saw it for the hot Kristen Stewart but was even disappointed in the use of her. Very boring and shallow movie. The point of the movie clearly wasn't to make money but show off filming art. But this copied style of filmaking is best scene from the best versions of it. Minimalism doesn't make it profound. Unless it's The Rover which is A24's best movie.… Expand

Mélange de 1984 et de Gattaca, on dirait un film taillé entièrement sur mesure pour la molle Stewart dont le regard bovin suffit à provoquer l'endormissement ; son alter ego masculin (un cave récupéré ici à la va-vite) lui sert de réplique etMélange de 1984 et de Gattaca, on dirait un film taillé entièrement sur mesure pour la molle Stewart dont le regard bovin suffit à provoquer l'endormissement ; son alter ego masculin (un cave récupéré ici à la va-vite) lui sert de réplique et lui sert les répliques tout droit sorties d'un roman Harlequin.

C'est bête à manger des petites fleurs (des marguerites je crois) et la perspective de ce monde lisse, polissé et policé, ainsi que parfait idéal communiste (la Chine en rêve) ne fait pas long feu : il se craquèle de partout, passé le premier petit quart d'heure sous la guimauve qui envahit tout jusqu'à la fin.

La réalisation est aussi tarte que le reste et barbote dans sa mare, comme des canards sous Prozac.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The end was not definitive enough for me. I hate movies that leave an open-ended ending. It broke my heart to think about what it would mean if Silas could no longer feel no emotions, and how difficult it would be for Nia. And she was pregnant too, and bearing the feelings of fear and loneliness that Silas can no longer feel, completely alone in a sense. The movie does leave room for hope that Silas will overcome the effects of the cure and still feel emotion after all, but I just hated how the movie stressed me out with its open-ended finish.… Expand
