LiquidLucids

I went into My Mother's Wedding with some curiosity, but it turned out to be a confused mess.

The talented cast feels wasted in roles that lack depth or direction. The scenes feel disconnected, and the dialogue is painfully unnatural.

This was directed and co-written by Kristin Scott Thomas. I wish I could say she deserves credit, but all I can say is: what on earth happened?

So, Katie Holmes is the writer and the director, and she plays the main character. It is now clear, that Katie Holmes has zero talent for writing a script. She didn't even have a solid idea to start with!

It's boring and predictable, has no interesting story or plot, and the dialogue is absolutely clumsy and amateur-like. It basically belongs on the Hallmark Channel...

There was absolutely no good reason to make this, perhaps except Katie Holmes having the chance to write, direct and act, and sort of making it look like her career is still happening.

Crappy, talentless productions like this, shouldn't even exist.

The script is not very well written. It just goes through the events with no real emotion or artistic expression. It feels like watching a tv commercial with young, model-like actors.

Many of the actors aren't right for their parts: Christian Gade Bjerrum, Johannes Nymark and Marie Tourell seem like immature acting students that belong in a school play, and Thure Lindhart is weirdly misplaced as the father of Eik Skaløe, looking almost as young as his son.

The fascinating and tragic story of the poet, singer and rebel that Eik Skaløe was, should've been told with much more artistic insight and intensity. This movie is quickly forgotten.
