In Resurrection, drama and trauma come first. That's evident in the character portrayed by Rebecca Hall. It's clear there's something that keeps her so alert.

Then we're let in on what's going on and so the twists begin, especially the **** up one that in my opinion doesn't quite come together because it's a horrific event, but the film doesn't exploit it in that way. It's like it was afraid of being so messed up. And that's the turning point of this story, whether you buy it or not. I didn't and that detracts points and a lot of strength from this movie.

Horror film and thrillers expect a lot of disbelief from the audience, but sometimes that can backfire quite a bit. I don't deny that both Hall and Tim Roth manage to keep it from feeling downright ridiculous, but the way they teeter between that line is a very risky gamble for this tale.

If its climax and ending are merely the assumption of a metaphor, I might be more sympathetic to what this plot proposes, alas Resurrection didn't have the subtlety to deal with the subject matter in that way.

It's okay for a film not to give away all its answers and for the audience to accept that not everything should be definitive, but neither should the experience become frustrating just because it is, and that's where Resurrection fails.… Expand

I adore Rebecca Hall and think she is underrated and we should see more of her, Tim Roth is always amazing, and Grace Kaufman was a fresh face who didn't get enough screen time in my opinion, but the plot dragged for me. It was intriguingI adore Rebecca Hall and think she is underrated and we should see more of her, Tim Roth is always amazing, and Grace Kaufman was a fresh face who didn't get enough screen time in my opinion, but the plot dragged for me. It was intriguing enough, but we never really got to see behind the curtain. Maybe one scene of the abuse she survived would have framed her psychotic reaction better. I also get that you weren't supposed to be able to tell psychosis from reality, that was the point (to put the viewer in her position), but it was a bit ham-handed. They made David too real. I like a "up to the audience" ending too, but this one was abrupt and didn't give me enough. Maybe that's me, but the failures of this movie outshined great performances. The plot needed some umpf!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Meh....
I can't stand movies with open endings.
Otherwise an interesting concept. I tend to read the baby living in him as akin to Greek mythology, but, due to the open ending could just be psychosis. Lame. Took it from an 8 to a 6 with that ending.… Expand

Hard to connect with but Rebbeca Hall gives an outstanding performance and it's ideas were somewhat interesting.
