Movie Reviews of The Return
Movie Review: All the "Whys" did not matter in this film
Summary: 5 Stars
What mattered was the absolute verite of emotions....all the "whys" did not matter...the plot was totally cerebral. This was an emotional journey for me so it really didn't matter what was in the box, why the father had been gone, who he was talking to on the phone...All that mattered were peoples interactions and coming to terms with their feelings.
And yes it is shot in stark beautiful locations.
I totally loved this film...I saw it twice in a row..and it would be one of the few films i want to own.
Movie Review: A work of art from Russia
Summary: 5 Stars
Do not expect to see a typical American movie with the happy
ending.
This picture depicts the father who returns after 12 years
to visit his 2 sons.The emotional aspects among this trio
is nail biting.
The scenery in this remote place of Russia should be seen.
The Academy Awards for best picture needs a major overhaul.
While The Barbarian Invasions is somewhat above average movie,
it falls far short of The Return and a few other movies.
Movie Review: Uncompromising Realism
Summary: 5 Stars
A naturalistic (meaning grimly realistic) portrayal of the dysfunctional relationship between a stern father and his two young sons. An excellent exploration of the psychology and thought processes of the characters. Many unanswered questions remain at the end which provoke later reflection and observations. Outstanding performances all around, and a quality script, but be advised, this is no light fare, but a rather serious and profound movie, though not depressing. Recommended!Movie Review: strange and haunting
Summary: 5 Stars
A excellent movie- in many ways it doesn't exhibit typical "national character" of Russia, and the whole movie has an odd sureal feel to it. The lighting and the angles are always a bit off from nature. This might have been a disaster but ends up making the movie beautiful and haunting. Like a dream, if feels as though it's a metaphore you can't quite grasp. Again, this could have been annoying and distracting, but here it works in a terrific way. I highly recommend it.Movie Review: Too deep for Americans
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a truly great movie that is wasted on American audiences that are accustomed to the shallow themes, a truly beautiful movie for those who are deep and sensitive. I did not find it slow for it has great depth and almost hypnotic quality. It held my attention throughout and this is very hard to do. I got lost in the movie but of course those who like cheap thrills and are shallow could never appreciate it.
