Perception

This is a very well constructed film. It is very enjoyable to watch due to the cinematography and acting. The well thought out story takes some turns which were surprising and we actually keep talking about. It will challenge you and your notions of what belief and love are to some people. Very much worth watching.

This is merely just a film, with high hopes to make the break, but i think they only succeed with one thing and that is the musical score. pretty mysterious and tense, and gave the socalled thriller a bit of a thrill.

its a weak story with a cliched plot, and the actors are not overly impressive. the male cast are not delivering, the main female actress does to some extent.

its a spiritual thrillerdrama, based on a mans loss of a girlfriend, and he tries through a spiritists ability to make contact to the other side. as it developes hes falling deeper and deeper into a psychosis, spends all his wealth and his employers account too to get his love back.

the grumpy old man considers this a timefiller, and will not be remembered as a good thriller.

The poor acting sabotages an interesting idea. Period.

This felt like a drawn out soap opera episode (which makes sense since the main character's actor is on General Hospital). I cannot understand the praise in these other reviews, the plot was extremely ambiguous and I had no idea where it would lead to. Sure there were some steamy bedroom scenes that many women likely get a kick out of, but the acting was so bad. I only finished this film because of how laughable the characters' motivations were. The drawings that the child character (Hugo) conjured up didn't make sense to me. I also didn't understand how the spirit of Maggie manifested itself (if it did at all).

So...I am very confused as to why this movie got so many 10s. I didn't watch the trailer so I went into it with only reading the brief movie description. Didn't read any of the reviews prior to - just saw all of the 10s and was hopeful this would be a hidden gem. Nope. So I think this movie could have been much better if the male was role was casted to someone else. When he took off his shirt for the first time, I was like most girls, drooling. But that quickly fell apart as the movie progressed and his acting skills declined - oh and his hair unraveled. Seriously, I found myself distracted in so many scenes because of his haircut. Sounds vain, sure, but I'm just being honest. Especially during the first sex scene - bursted out laughing. I have a feeling I'm not the only viewer who did too. The final "struggle" was so overacted and contrived that I once again was laughing. I think the plot is great though and this movie has potential, just bad casting. I will give them kudos for the art and music - amazing!
