Secondhand Hearts

I really enjoyed this movie. I thought it was well paced, the characters were well developed given how relatively short the run time was, and the screenplay and the way the characters performed captured the emotional weight of the story in a way that was believable. The ending was great too in a way that honored the characters and relationships.

The story in the movie we're not bad. The reason for the bad review is not for the movie it's for my life. It made me so sad because this is what happened to me. No my sister was not in Japan but yes 8 months pregnant I have found my drunk husband in my little sister's bed. Then he left me because he was in love with her.

Have to say wasn't too impressed...Don't want to give away any spoilers, but let's just say the main guy basically is a dbag, the choices the main characters decide make no sense, and other then the scenery there is really nothing worthwhile. The father is wayy too forceful and honestly only maybe one character is like able. The ending sucks and honestly wayy to depressing for its intended target. And one of the characters is just obnoxious. And the main guy- total idiot and not deserving of anything good...Save yourself the time and watch something better...

I wanted to like this movie. I kept hoping something - ANYTHING - interesting, funny, or even SEMI-amusing would happen beyond the first 5 minutes of this flick. Nope! Every event that did occur was either predictable or dull. There's no resolve to what few conflicts (or potential for conflicts) were presented. I'm still trying to figure out how such a blatant lack of content managed to make it on-screen. What happened? Did they lose the manuscript? Was it incomplete? Poor deliverance of a poorly written script. I refuse to judge the talent of these actors based off of this film alone. Perhaps they were doing exactly as directed. I understand wanting to leave an ending open for interpretation; but you need to develop the movie better if that's the objective. I'm left WTF-ing for the wrong reasons. Seriously. It's not just the ending that's left 'open for interpretation,' the entire film is! In fact, you're best watching it on mute and creating your own plot!

First of all, Mallory Corinne is the sexiest woman I've seen in film in a long time. Whew!

Second of all, I think this film would only speak to you if you've been through something like this. Seeing the woman you love with another man. Loving one sister and then also falling for the second sister. It tears you up. I think they captured this painful dynamic well.

Finally, the ending. There is simply no possible good ending for this film. It's a pain that can only slowly dissipate with time. The best film I know on this topic was "The English Patient," and we all know how that one turned out.
