I found this movie really interesting. I loved a lot of things about the film such as the different locations, the characters and the plot. Actually, straight after I finished watching it I was in a different surrounding. It felt like I was in America in these beautiful locations they were in. I love how movies do that to me! The plot was clever, I get that Henry can't stop time travelling but there are moments in the film where I'm just like "whaaat?". Rachel McAdams did a lovely job in this film, I've seen her in a lot of romance genre films and she does a perfect job e-v-e-r-y-time! I don't think she gets noticed enough for it. Eric Bana (very handsome by the way) also did a very nice performance. I knew he was Australian because his American accent was very strong in the film. I notice a lot of non American actor/actresses tend to over emphasise the American accent... (anyway moving on). The chemistry in this film was lovely, there were moments in this film where you feel a bit of tears in your eyes but they manage not to fall out, that was towards the end. It's sucks how he time travels in really important moments. I would hate if this kind of thing actually existed, thank god it doesn't. This movie is the kind where you just want to cuddle up in a blanket and drink a cup of hot chocolate while you wish the romance they have in the movie actually happened to you. Sadly there's only so much movies can do, but this movie does the job! I loved watching every minute of it and if you haven't watched it then WATCH IT. This movie teaches you about the importance of patience, time and love. What audience would you recommend this to? Family movie Ratings out of 5 stars: ✯✯✯✯✯
Put in charge of his young son, Alain leaves Belgium for Antibes to live with his sister and her husband as a family. Alain's bond with Stephanie, a killer whale trainer, grows deeper after Stephanie suffers a horrible accident. Suffering and compassion. Marion Cotillard plays Stephanie a killer whale trainer. Marion delivers another outstanding performance in this film. Here I am sitting wondering to myself why she didn't get nominated for an Oscar or supporting actress (I will never know why).Matthias Schoenaerts plays Alain, a father and a ex-boxer also performs a heart-wrenching job in this film. I love the chemistry between these two characters, it's quite confusing, they're always on and off and it's like does he care about her or not? The plot of this movie is really touching, it sends you this kind of "fuck what everyone else thinks" message. This movie has a friends with benefits topic but in the end it works out, as it would. There is a lot of triumph between these main characters, a lot of moments are very surreal, you take a lot in. Another reason I enjoyed the movie was a song that played in one of the scenes, it was really pumping and jamming I literally couldn't stop listening to it once I got home (I'll link the song at the bottom). Matthias character for me was sometimes really annoying because he seemed to portray the stereo type male in films that care about sex and not noticing the important things in life. But you seriously see how big his heart is when he meets Stephanie. Marion's character was a very strong armour type of women, I liked that about her character. She didn't let men get to her because of her physical disability. When I watched the trailer I thought it was about a lady who didn't find the right type of guy in her life and then this guy come's along and changes that. But hell I was completely surprised how different it actually was. I'm glad that they didn't reveal too much of the film in the trailer or else I think I would have gotten bored. Yes you could say this movie is about a woman who is lost, then finally a guy comes along and changes that but it's much more brutal and serious than that.The thing I'm trying to say is there is SO much more to this movie than what the trailer tells us. What audience would you recommend this to? 16 and over Ratings out of 5: ✯✯✯✯
