Le Tuteur

To be honest when I saw the films poster, I thought it starred Elijah Wood? Which made me give it a try, but of course I was mistaken.

As others have noted, the first half hour promises an intriguing film ahead. But then it takes a trajectory from the sublime to the ridiculous, its up to you where you choose to get off. Me?, I stuck it to the end, as the production values were good, and I was hoping it might get back on track as a good psycho drama/thriller.

The main actor gave a mostly convincing performance, the rest not so much. As others have commented, I got the impression that this may have been written on the hoof, as seemingly random elements and events were added at intervals throughout, some might call them plot twists, Im not so sure?

So there was a good film in there along the lines of a psych drama, but they decided to choose a psycho thriller route instead. Bit like choosing a strawberry over a banana?

Well I definitely know why they labeled this movie as a Mystery, but it's not to do with the genre. It's a Mystery because the first 30 minutes its got that creepy plot twist feeling but than you see the credits and are like how did we get here .. it's a mystery.

Almost like a couple people got together and made a trailer. Got it sold but we're like. "Crap, all our good ideas were in the trailer" let's just throw another plot twist in and jump the timeline no one will notice because after 30 minutes they are probably lost anyhow so just roll the credits. Now I am just writing anything to get the minimum characters to post this.

I sat down to watch this one and enjoyed it for the first half hour. I'd not heard of this movie so had high hopes for a fulfilling viewing experience given what I'd seen up to that point had been pretty solid... aside from a seriously questionable decision from the production hair stylist for our leading character.

Things then got so bizarre with an incredulous plot twist, that a black hole appeared and swallowed up the all common sense, sound reasoning, and logical progression that normal film making enjoys.

I called it a day after 45 minutes for fear of disappearing into the abyss of infinite absurdity.

3/10 for the first 30 minutes 0/10 for everything after.

The good: the start of this movie was quite promising. There was a certain intrigue hanging in the air, that was kinda fascinating. BUT...

The bad: after half an hour there is 1 particular plot turn that didnt make sense AT ALL. However mysterious this movie was at the start, the entire mystery collapsed because of this ridiculous plot turn.

MORE ridiculous plot turns were about to follow though. And the ending I simply could not take seriously any longer.

This is another movie that I got suckered into thinking it would be a thrilling mystery, only realisin half way through it was ANOTHER BADLY WRITTEN SCRIPT.

It's odd and seem like it's going to be good but the whole storyline is terrible. How can you have no communication with anyone and not tell anyone what's going on. If you see a bunch of teenagers messing with you why indulge? I understand the other reviews when they said the writer was halfway drunk when he wrote this. Then for the girl friend to not support him any type of why. How can you not understand facts that's right in your face. Then why not go to the police from the start, why try to investigate on your own. The actions in this movie makes 100 percent no sense. And for a friend to no support you says a lot.
