The opening scene is fine and sets up a little history for later on. And for that we have to wait and wait and wait. Tons of long drawn out scenes that do nothing for the movie. Long drives, thunderstorms, walking in the woods and so on. For a film about death this is mostly expected but it's utterly aimless in direction.
The cover art has John and Evangeline on it which is weird as neither are the lead character in the film. And a gun, which no one uses in the film??? Evangeline might have 20 or 30 lines of dialogue and is a secondary character. The lead mumbles throughout and a strong french accent is difficult to discern.
By far the biggest problem with this film is that there is just not enough story to build on. Just some lines from John that are supposed to make us think about the end of life.
The ending it very poor, and doesn't do the rest of the build up justice. It just ends abruptly and it's very annoying after spending all this time and effort crafting wooden characters trying to get the feels to the audience.
3/10. Mumbling characters have a hard time making a dent in a serious movie. Jumping from location to location, scene to scene with barely a plan does not make for an enjoyable movie. Mostly just bits stitched together and hoping it works. It doesn't.
