Into the Labyrinth

Seems logical for the most part, but at the end some twists makes it very confusing to fully understand... You have to think afterwards to try to figure it out, I think that this problem occurs when tou want to squeeze in 2 hrs a complex book.

In another 10/10 review you can read that bad reviews are ' from people who fell asleep or didn't understand', a thiller that makes you sleep or completely confused isn't what I call a good one.

I'm wondering if the low ratings on here are from people who don't like subtitles.

You do really have to watch this as it switches back and forth a bit, and if you don't understand Italian you need to read the subtitles, but it is interesting and engaging.

I got Alice in Wonderland vibes from this, it was quite surreal and you're not sure what is real or not but it just about ties up in the end.

I liked this so much I've bought the Donato Carrisi book this is based on. Never heard of him before and never read his stuff so I am looking forward to reading this book.

All in all, a great and mindbending film with good actors and an engaging plot. Don't blink, you will miss something.

The good: great actors, beautifully photographed, nice music score, intrigueing start of the story.

The bad: this movie is somehow lacking in spark and punch. The stories plot isnt very original either, bit of a bummer actually. It is part Italian spoken, part english spoken.

I think this movie is best suited for an arhouse audience, which has got the patience for longstretched scenes with only dialogue. It is definitely not a bad movie, but somehow I am missing the excitement that I usually get when watching a movie about kidnapping.

Certainly not bad. I was captivated throughout the movie. But I just didn't get it, yet I got a proper education. Maybe there is some high brow meta explanation that the story itself is a labyrinth? Maybe it is about the psyche of people that experience a trauma and make up an imaginary reality? I don't know where they were going with this as I did not get why half the movie was in Italian and the other part in English.

Very interesting story & plot. The characters are not so likable, I think because the script is so mysterious & full of secrets. Now the confusing part, you must watch it twice to understand the whole story; it feels like there are two parallel ones & they meet at the end. The time is kinda irrelevant as the plot shifts alot at the end. It also gave me Sin City "vibes".
