Where Is Kyra?

Having such big actors, I was hoping for a decent film.

Instead, the plot moves at a snail's pace and nothing really happens.

They could quite easily chop off an hour and the film would be at least bearable.

Nor great, not good. Just dull. The only consolation is that the acting is good but this isn't enough to earn great reviews.

The plot is good, the actors are great, but the movie is so dark that you can't see what is happening...What a waste of talents to have a great cast and don't be able to see theirs emotions because the director decided to shoot it without light! The Pfeiffer's role is very interesting and I believe she could have been nominated for the Oscar if there were just more light on scenes. She have done in this movie much more than Glen Close and Olivia Colman this year and would deserve the Oscar.

Michelle Pfeiffer and Kiefer Sutherland are superb here, but this film is definitely not for everyone. The filmmakers make it a most difficult watch with many darkened scenes often shot from afar, very slow pacing, extremely irritating music at times, and a constant depressive tone.

However, if one can stay with this haunting drama the performances by the two leads are worth the price of admission, as I see it. At least it had an appropriate ending and not a totally convoluted one that are so in vogue these days.

"Where is Kyra?" - not just a film featuring one of the best performance from Michelle Pfeiffer, it's also one of the best movies she ever done in her entire career (At least the best since 2002's White Oleander).

Michelle Pfeiffer plays Kyra Johnson, a middle-aged, divorced woman who recently lost her mother and struggling to survive. The movie is stylishly directed by Andrew Dosunmu, It's the type of role we always want Michelle Pfeiffer to play-fragile, vulnerable, heartbreaking, yet also a life fighter, it has been ages since Michelle plays someone so real and solid like Kyra.

Despite the atmosphere of the film is overall depressive and chilling (the director treats it almost like a thriller in the second half of the movie), the love line between Kyra and Doug is extremely romantic.

"Where is Kyra?" is not something fun to watch, but it absolutely worth your time for an 1 hr and 38 mins character study of Kyra Johnson, with top class performance by Michelle Pfeiffer on screen every mins, and every mins of her on screen is a real treasure.

"Where Is Kyra?" Is one film that as you watch you feel like you see the whole picture yet are thrown for a little surprise. Anyway it's a picture of dread and searching for the want and need for hope. And the performance though not typical from Michelle Pfeiffer is dark and different from most of her other pretty and attractive roles. Michelle plays Kyra Johnson a divorced and single now living with her sick mother in a New York apartment who now finds herself struggling to get by. Kyra is having problems finding work at middle age and plus she's cash strapped while trying to get back on her feet. Her only spice and treat in life is the on again and off again casual sex she has with a neighbor(Kiefer Sutherland). Problems abound daily life has fallen apart a path of grim and grave results lie ahead. This picture proves a point with the message that one can sink to new lows and will try anything to survive. It's not typical Michelle still it's worth a watch for it's dark nature.
