Review of Sky

Sky (2015)
2/10
A good, if slow moving, love story with a melancholy surprise, shocking bomb shell and unanswered ending
6 December 2017
Warning: Spoilers
The only reason I first watched the movie was because it stars Norman Reedus, and I love him on The Walking Dead and in The Boondock Saints movies, but soon grew to enjoy it. "Sky" moves a little too slow, but there is no denying the attraction between Reedus and Kruger. The bug bombshell is when when Diego (Reedus) finally tells Romy (Diane Kruger) that he's dying from cancer caused by exposure to depleted uranium (apparently during his time inthe military, a subject mentioned once and then never again) and after making love (or trying to), Romy has her own secret to admit: She's pregnant with his child. They fight, but make things work, and several months later, Diego is sicker and Romy in the middle months of her pregnancy. He finally admits he loves her and tells her to tell their son that he was always wanted by his father. Diego appears to sleep and the next morning, Romy leaves the bedroom and walks into the living room, then outside to join a 10 year old boy, Diego, Jr. The end sequence is of mother and son playing in their yard, then walking across the desert. That's where you're left with questions. Did Diego, Sr. die the night he made his request to Romy or did he live long enough to see his son enter the world?
