6 Years

This film tells the story of two young lovers, who have been in a dedicated relationship for six years. They are still very in love, needing each other constantly, until cracks start to appear in their relationship.

The film is about this couple having been in relationship for six years, not about the entire six years. The plot is simple and easy to understand, yet what I don't understand is how they managed the previous six years. It appears that one of them is not mature enough to deal with a relationship, and gets abusive and violent when something doesn't go as planned. I would have walked straight out the relationship of that happened to me! Overall, I think "6 Years" is quite an honest and believable portrayal of a relationship. It doesn't sugar coat the relationship.

I enjoyed the acting and I saw a little piece of me and my relationship minus the aggressive fighting and aggressive physical side. I think it speaks to a lot of us who have been in a long term relationship with someone from high school that's goes onto college. It's not easy being in a relationship and transitioning to adulthood. I would say that the ending sucked. It felt so abrupt.

....cause seing her running them 10 times a minute robbed me of all the attention to their acting which aside from this was great and gave credibility to a very realistic portrayal of a teen-gone-adult relation and it's challenges!

I can see why many people disliked this movie. It's a representation of life without filters, without a happy ending, just life. If you've been in a long-term relationship, you'll like this film. I've always loved Taissa's acting, and this is no disappointment. I think she does a great job with real-life characters, she's believable. Overall this movie seemed so realistic to me, not just for the plot: their reactions, the way they carried themselves, the people around them. It's the representation of real life drama, without exaggeration or fantasy. It kind of reminded me of Boyhood in the sense that it follows a story very close to reality. I enjoyed it.

This is just a very slow movie, with an ending that you can predict right from the start. The actors are not very convincing and nothing really interesting happens. All the characters do is drink and party, but even that is not fun to watch. The hipster friends/colleagues are just downright annoying to watch, but I guess that makes them realistic.

The only positive I can think of is that you could turn this into a drinking game, for every time somebody says "what the f?!". That seems to be the only line, and pretty much every character says it all the time. Probably true to life, but a bit boring to watch.
