Reviews

I'm sorry, I hardly ever write a negative review because as an aspiring filmmaker I know how much time, effort and money people put into independent productions, but it has to be said this a great opportunity missed.

I feel sorry for the two leads as I've seen them before and know how natural and talented they are at acting, but it goes to prove you can't outact a badly written script.

The dialogue is cheap and corny and as a person who came from this background I can tell you this is not authentic in the slightest. I don't know for sure but I can only assume the director and writer did not come from this background and tried to make a project about a subject that they knew nothing about.

It's full of cliches and grinding repetitive cutaways in a desperate attempt to create artistic symbolism. You will know what I mean when you watch it.

The movie has huge pacing issues too and jumps back and forth between past and present for reasons best know to no-one except the writer. An experienced script supervisor would have been money well spent on this production and more money spent in the sound design as overall it the lack of it makes everything seem bland and boring.

Overall it comes down to bad direction from a badly written script. Hopefully they can learn from their mistakes for their next production. But then again they got it on Netflix, so what do I know 😊

In our current world of mass media and fast food this film shows another side to humanity that is not about the cut throat, rat race of success.

Nicholas Cage is excellent in this, as he is in most of his films. In my opinion he is probably the most underrated actor of all time.

I'm getting quite sick of negative reviews from people on this platform. Quite obviously people who have always wanted to make film but never knew how, or worse never tried to. Let's see your film. It's easier to sit back and criticise than it is to take a risk and create something.

Have your phone handy when she starts eating the pie. Or if you've been working on a novel, now may be the time to finish it, rewrite it and proof read it. You'll thank me later.

I was really looking forward to seeing this movie but I found it incredibly cheesy and annoying at times. The writing is awful which is very ironic seems as it's a true story. How do you take a best selling book on a true story and make a bad job if it.

The direction is awful, the tone is all over the place and the acting is awful and dialogue was completely unbelievable. It's like they took a gritty and raw true story and tried to turn it into a feel good Christmas movie.

I'm not sure if it was just me but I found it really annoying when the main character kept talking to the cat out loud in every single scene.

This is a superb film, it's a masterclass in acting, as there is little or no dialogue. Would definitely recommend.

This years polski x-factor is really boring. Since they've replaced Simon Cowell it's just gone down hill really.
