I just got back from seeing this and I really thought it was intense.. it gets 2 thumbs up from me
I think it would fall under Thriller/Sci-fi
Its about a woman who has a child that died of a plane crash.. and she has photograhs/videos of him that the husband seems to be erasing..until her husband tells her there was never a child. Then she starts to uncover things that she should have left alone...
I recommend this film.. but Im not sure if its everyones cup of tea, so tell me your opinions
This movie got me to appreciate it for all its got inside. Continuous hints by the camera of Joseph Ruben . In fact the story of Gerald Di Pego wouldn’t be as good without the Ruben’s direction. I commend his direction throughout the movie.
Telly Paretta (Julianne Moore) has lost her 9-year-old son in a plane crash 14 months ago. The grieving mother has been convinced to take up counselling from psychiatrist Dr. Munce (Gary Sinise) to help her ‘forget’ her son and get on with life. Her daily habits Munce intends to eliminate are spending time at Sam’s dresser, watching home videos of him playing, and glancing at the pictures taken as he slowly grew up. Telly however is part of a programme to forget her son completely.
Initial hints in the first 15-20 minutes make you think that she is indeed delusional, such as thinking that she parked her car in one place when instead she finds another car who's occupant, a friendly man (Giovanni Ribisi) who directs her to it opposite the road and the coffee cup mystery when she is sure she had a mug when she didnt have a mug at Munce's office.
The car crash was ****en' amazingly done;
I think its the first time they implemented such a shot in a shot at that angle. it made me say 'Watch out ! ' just before the impact
so are the contrasting scenes of present (Dull & Blue) to the scenes of the past (colourful, warm full of orange and red)
6.5/10
