Love Is Strange (2014)
Movie that leaves you wondering...
OK i just watched the film. My first thoughts was that how stupid I was to waste 90 mins for this nonsense. Blank here blank there, I was annoyed that movie makers left so many story lines unfinished. And I felt like this was 2 hour movie cut in 1 and a half. And I think that you may have felt so too since you are here reading some reviews afterwards.
But then happened something that I love in films. It got me thinking. Thinking, imagining and wondering. I started rethinking about those scenes that left a void in my mind and i realized that the answer still was there even if it wasn't shown in picture. There were so many symbolic stuff going on here and there that I probably also missed many, but still got some answers though.
I suggest that you see the movie yourself if you still haven't for some reason. Amazing and elegant acting in every role. Especially the leads. But also the girl in the end which i learned was a panic replacement (from the street nearby filming the scene) for the first selected actress for the role, it was simply beautiful, beautiful in few seconds on the screen. Also have to mention Marisa Tomei, shes got the magic, my secret fantasy girl haha.
Okay enough for me to be talking here but one last thing, if you want my opinion of those unfinished business that the movie probably left for you too. I think that you should pay attention to Cyrano de Bergerac and compare it in this film maybe it opens up something. And maybe some expert may know better but the classic music in the film gives you some clues too to digest the story line.
What first felt like a lousy and loose directing, few minutes afterwards started to feel like a well thought and carefully put together and very delicate masterpiece. Have to respect.
Love is strange! In many forms as shown in the film. Thank you for reading!

Stupid & Senseless
6/10 Acting, not great but some good acting.
4/10 Director, makes some stupid decisions for this film.
2/10 Writer, story makes no sense at all and has huge amount of flaws.
4/10 Overall score for this movie.
Don't waste your time with this film, it's not worth it. I gave 4 for this movie and it may be too much. Characters are so over exaggerated than they can ever be in real life and some pretty unexplainable stuff happens "storywise", not in good way. Because of the style this film has been filmed you get bored after 30 minutes (too many special effects: slow motions and camera shakes and fast forwards). It's always good that movie uses music to make the story go smooth but there's too many tracks in this one. In the first hour there is almost 50/50 dialogs and musics
