Open

This is not a golf movie. Rather, golf is merely the canvas for a story about redemption, self-forgiveness, and finding love when you aren't looking. All packed into a tight little 71 minute film. I was looking for something to pass the time until bed, and I stumbled into this wonderful experience. Deeply touching and remarkably well-conceived and directed. I highly recommend this film for an hour of introspection and resurrection of the soul.

Great cast, wonderful script and beautifully shot - 10/10.

This movie probably isn't a 10 but is definitely better than a six and I think more people would watch it if I help to boost it's rating, but in the end I decided to go with a true 8.

I am an occasional golfer but I don't think you need to play the game. I know nothing about the creators of this film but I wish Hollywood did as good a job telling a story with people I can like. I don't know the actors or actress in this film but I plan to look them up and see if they are in anything else. I don't have much else to add but for some reason they want an unusually large amount of characters for me to post this review.

So many movies fall short on content and to compensate stack on the gizmos: effects, violence, you know the standard fare..

That this movies takes place on the quiet of an empty golf course in the quiet of the day between two characters (and a third close by) and remains utterly captivating speaks to the beauty of its presentation and depth. Its real life, albiet real life at its very best: one of those magical rare moments of honesty and connection. The acting is spot on, the dialogue charming and well measured, the visual and setting as much a character as the actors themselves.

So many movies go full "Hollywood", that overblown over the top if one scoop of sugar or explosion is good then more must be better. If those are cheap fast food full of cheap ingredients, the "Open" is an organic salad. Its a beautiful story where technique dissolves and the viewer is allowed without distraction to step into the story itself. Like that salad, one is left feeling all the better for it.

I really enjoyed watching it as the story was very touching and well played.

Definitely, recommend watching!
