life and romance. When a weekend with his parents threatens to uncover
the truth, Adaline makes a decision that will change her life forever.
Movie Reviews
I
didn't like it the way i wanted to. The premise is there. The idea is
good. I just didn't find it very entertaining. At certain point, i was
about to quit watching it, but because a friend told me the movie was
very good and one of the best he had seen this year, i didn't. I'm not
sorry for that, but i won't see it again. It's a bit too slow, and
nothing really interesting happens. There are no scenes that mesmerize
or even to memorize. The love story is not that good also... not very
convincing and it all happens too fast. I didn't like the jokes (the
horse joke is very bad) and the first dialogues between the two main
protagonist are laughable. I also think that the main idea is really
poorly explored. They centered the entire movie around the love thing,
but the perspective of life, time, lifetime and immortality are barely
explained; just like her inner thoughts and feelings about it. If I
could direct a movie like this I would make it very differently.
