Wreckers

Just saw this on Artificial Eye DVD. Well acted and tightly written, this movie is strangely simple and plain - and captivating. It had some unnecessary character-standing-and-staring- sequences, but overall the rhythm was good. It seemed realistic and there was some real suspense too. It's also contemporary story in which young professional couple moves to the country side for a hope of a simpler lifestyle.

Claire Foy is amazingly sweet in this, very fragile and very beautiful. Benedict Cumberbatch is a believable troubled teacher and Shaun Evans sympathetic as the little brother. Liked the overall cast.

Good indie movie.

A quiet, peaceful, slow paced yet interesting drama which portrayed the bittersweetness of life beautifully and made me cry, disgusted and relaxed throughout. At first It appears pretty normal but it is way darker than you may expect simply because its somehow about human nature, untold stories and lies! The rustic and Christian vibe of the film mixed with great soundtracks and outstanding performances were very impressive. I am a Cumberbatch fan and I think he's done a perfect job doing the justice to the character. All the positive aspects aside, wreckers is a very calming film which you might want to fall sleep to

All is not as it appears. Quite a dark movie with character clues that need a bit of studying. Overall a film that held my attention, though the volume of the dialogue was way too low at times. Would be almost impossible for any not familiar with Brit accents.

A dialogue dependent movie, but unfortunately the producers were too cheap to provide subtitles for non-Brits around the world who have different English dialects; or those with little or no English; or those hard of hearing viewers. To make matters worse the audio levels as well as enunciation by the actors were inconsistent and uneven.

The acting was minimally acceptable given there wasn't a whole lot going on throughout a film that has the camera obsessed with looking at walls inside the house or out the window. The camera continued the preoccupation with focusing on non-essential scenes for prolonged periods e.g. chickens in a coup; figurines on a shelf; tree leaves blowing in the wind; pond lily pads; spider crawling up a window; the inside of a church both with/without singing.

Outside of that there is a sleepwalking visiting brother; two brief sex with someone else's partner scenes and a party.

Maybe this is a day-in-the-life storyline?

There is something missing from this movie. It has potential but just misses the mark with so many unanswered questions.
