It is a serious psychological drama about relationship, love, unfaithfulness, and many other things.
A talented war photographer dies in a crash, and family members try to cope with their loss.

Movie goes back and force in time, reality mixed up with dreams, allowing us to see same events from different perspectives.
Great casting and performance of leading actors. The ending is a bit too optimistic and it contrasts with the body of the movie. The less cheerful end would be more suitable, in my opinion.
Overall, the movie is masterfully made with a lot of attention to nuances and half-tones.… Expand

I live in a town where we don't get a lot of "art house" cinema (St Pete FL). It's all cineplexes showing the same ten movies.

It's all cineplexes showing the same ten movies. One theater downtown does occasionally (although less and less more recently) let a smaller more adult film slip thru in their "gallery" wing. Recently, because of this "gallery" I saw Son of Saul, Everybody wants some, Miles Ahead and Louder than bombs. People who have art house theaters in their towns..like NYC. LA. Chicago, some college towns..are probably a little jaded. But where I live, Louder than bombs...and films of that level..are a rare treat. If I could see things like Francofonia, High Rise, Sunset Song effortlessly like people in NYC etc then probably Louder than bombs woudn't be such a big deal. THAT BEING SAID, where I live and the small amount of good cinema that slips in, I loved Louder than bombs. I'd take that anyday over the cineplex slop. So thanks to people like Joachim Trier who managed to make something good and yet "commercial" enough to hit St. Pete.… Expand

An interesting story of how a father, his college age son, and his teenage son all react, and cope, with their mother's auto accident death.

This is a film about vulnerability, fragility, grief and loss.

Its a little abstractThis is a film about vulnerability, fragility, grief and loss. It puts a strong emphasis on visuals, with photography being a key theme and its also very much an arty film, in that it features symbolism and the like. Its a little abstract perhaps. I thought Gabriel Byrne and Devin Druid gave particularly good performances as the estranged father and son, though Jesse Eisenberg isn't bad either, infact I often think he's well suited to play socially awkward types (that's not meant as a diss at all). Its sad to see his dad struggle to connect with his sons. It would be hard to watch this film and not feel some compassion for the family featured. I suppose its quite contemporary in that it depicts one son's escapism into virtual reality via video games, as he tries to distance himself from his situation and loss. Its a film that features softly spoken dialogue, so if you struggle to hear well, then this may be an issue for you, so I thought I'd mention that. This is a rather thoughtful though also subtle film, one I'm not sure I fully understood all the intricacies of but I certainly enjoyed it nevertheless and so its a film I'd recommend, yes.… Expand
