Open

Now I don't know a whole lot about golf, a little after playing it in "Grand Theft Auto: V" where I usually win! I watched this movie, because I wanted to find something before I went to sleep--and could not quite sleep yet.

I also have heard of Jack Eve, being a fan of Trevor(somewhat recently-last two months about) I know he loves golf, and slowly I am beginning to understand people's love of golf. My username on insta is @eveholics

Anyway, I decided to watch this movie and the writing and directing were absolutely brilliant! The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and the characters were well written!

Also, I am a fan of Jack Eve even more now--can't wait for anything more from him and to see how, he will grow as an actor and filmmaker!

There was a beautiful atmosphere to this film, and the theme tune is fantastic very relaxing . The story was well told too. Well done to everyone involved.

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.

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

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.
