Movie Reviews of The Return
Movie Review: Stark, beautiful but boring and I like foreign films.
Summary: 2 Stars
A father returns after a twelve-year absence to his wife and two boys. At his return, the boys go with him on a one-day fishing trip that turns into four days on more than a fishing trip, but what it was I do not know. The entire movie was a mystery to me. A beautifully delivered mystery but still vague in its message.
The entire film seemed stark, bare, and especially raw in appearance. Of course, the photography in the film was muted in gray, black, and white with the occasional green and blue. The visual aspects of the film lend its self well to the underlying loneliness and despair while capitalizing on the aggression between the children and their father.
Beautifully filmed in wonderful locations with talented actors, the movie had potential if only it had a plot with a message.
If you watch this film be prepared to wonder. There were so many directions this film could go but it didn't go anywhere. I walked away wondering what happened and why.
