Movie Reviews of Breaking and Entering
Movie Review: Interesting Performances by Binoche and Law, but Not a Great Film
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm a big fan of Anthony Minghella's work as a director, particularly "The Talented Mr. Ripley." However, with this film, he writes AND directs. Perhaps he should stick to directing and leave the writing to someone who knows a bit more about it.
In sum, the film looks vaguely at: The ways in which modern relationships teeter on the brink of meaninglessness, the manner in which people of different nationalities come into conflict in London, the extent to which deception is a factor in all human interactions, and the ways that people try to avoid anything dangerous and exciting in their lives so as to keep up the status quo.
Unfortunately, the film's various storylines just kind of meander and one never gets to know or care too awfully much for the characters. Having said that, I will add that the performances of Juliette Binoche and Jude Law are outstanding even though the two of them are working with a pretty dumb script. Still, they offer the hook that reels one into the film at times and gives some force to otherwise dreary movie-making.
Movie Review: bad movie
Summary: 2 Stars
My biggest problem with this movie involves the script, which has too many characters who appear and disappear, and is far too long.
Secondly, the characters do not relate to one another in any meaningful way.
Jude Law and his wife are not connected. Jude Law and the boy's mother are equally unconnected. Jude Law, who appears to be a successful architect, never works, never has emotions, and is as drab as his boring wardrobe.
Only the minor characters actually show some humanity and distinction but they are too few and far between in a dismal movie.
Movie Review: what there's a movie on... oh sorry.. zzzzzzzzz....
Summary: 2 Stars
I hate to be a reviewer who admits he couldn't make it through a movie... but i just couldn't put up with this movie which is supposed to be taken seriously.. I know what your thinking - what right do you have to review a movie when you did not even see the whole thing... you have a point.. but.. as i see it a movie should be interesting all the way through or what is the point of watching? I don't care if it ends well if i cannot make it that far the movie has failed its purpose.. You might enjoy 'breaking and entering' i found it to be a sleeper..Movie Review: Didn't do it for me
Summary: 2 Stars
It takes the first 45 minutes before some things starts to happen and then still it feels very stiffled. What came to mind watching this was the book "Unholy Hunger", as it displays very well the feeding happening in human relating on planet Earth. Everyone is feeding on somebody else; sometimes it is mutual feeding and at other times it is distinctly predatorial. Not a pretty sight.Movie Review: Unbelievable Coupling
Summary: 2 Stars
My husband and I just didn't buy Jude Law and Robin Wright-Penn as a couple. Nor the supposed attraction and sexual tension between Law and Binoche. Of the three I think Wright-Penn stands out the most, followed by the girl who plays her daughter Bea. The other interesting part was the antics of the young man playing the agile monkey boy. I wouldn't watch this film again.
