Fragility of life

If you want a blockbuster then this is not the movie for you!Rather it's a thought provoking, moving film about the fragility of life.Mark (Liam Walker) initially seems like he is making the ultimate sacrifice for someone he loves but is it a convenient escape for his own drug dependent hopelessness and despair of a dark future.While Betty (Arielle Cartwright) has a devastating illness, chooses hope and courage instead of submitting to Mark's escape.The couple's relationship unravels because Betty decides she is not ready to let go, despite making a pact with Mark; however after exchanging wedding vows in a picturesque valley free from her impending pain and fatigue she has a change of heart.As the mood darkens between the couple so to the heavily atmospheric scenery turns dark and oppressive. Will the relationship ever recover, who can say!I like that the movie ends in a "grey" area where we are left to ponder the tragedy of fate!A well made art house film that deserves more notice.

Rewarding if you invest the time

A very beautiful slice of life film that doesn't really spoon feed you. I think it would frustrate a lot of people but if you invest in it I think the ending especially is quite profound. Certainly not the biggest budget film but it looks and sounds stunning at times. (at rare times not so much) More drama than thriller but there definitely is that element. It gets very dark and it certainly isn't for the faint of heart. It touches on some pretty tricky themes (suicide and DV) and I think for the most part does them justice. Both performances are engaging, especially from relatively fresh talent and especially considering the long takes and hefty dialogue.Overall worth a watch if you're an arthouse fan!

All character development, thin story.

120 minutes.... 115 minutes is character development... 5 minutes is the actual plot.This is NOT a "thriller" in any sense of the word. If anything, it is perhaps a mystery because for most of the film a viewer has no clue what any actual plot may be.The plot isn't actually made clear until 115 minutes into the film.It is ENTIRELY character development until the final 5 minutes where a plot actual emerges. And, well.. that's how long it takes to tell the story.. it could be written in roughly three, relatively short, sentences.I found it generally morose. The consistent long note viola tones made for a depressing soundtrack while I had no clue what the point to ANYTHING was.Artistic nonsense without consideration for any audience.Acting was mediocre, not great. Thus making all the character development somewhat haphazard. And quite honestly, even though the relationship is finally made clear.. it's NEVER clear based on the character actions... lines in the script OFTEN didn't fit the body language on screen.Pass on this.. there are MUCH better things to spend your time on.
