The in Between

This movie was okay and what I expected which is why I am rating it 7/10.

"The In Between" captured the idea of losing someone you love and it represents a tragic love story. This will be enjoyable by teens no question..

Also skylar is hot !!!!!!!!!

Thumbs uppp.

It's amazing how the individual network streamers are streaming their own movies and shows. So much junk out there, and some good things, but mostly things that have to add a lot of nudity and cursing in their shows. None of that was required for this, it was an amazing movie, the plot and script, while not original, was super well done and kept me interested and engaged to see how it would work it out. The acting, well it was impressive how well the cast sold their characters. Amazing, amazing job Paramount+! Well worth my money monthly (if this was the only thing I watched, which it isn't). It is a sad movie, as you can tell from the description of the show, but boy! It was very touching, very well done and totally worth my time to watch it. Highly recommend this movie.

There's a whole lotta of "too" involved with this movie: too melodramatic, too much like "Ghost," too many romantic tropes, too too too. All of that said, I'm awarding it one extra star (5->6) for the serious and sincere attempts by star Joey King and the supporting cast (including Celeste O'Connor and Donna Biscoe) to sell all of it to us with a brightly colored bow (or cap) on top.

The In Between is a film which has been told before; Ghost (1990) being the main template.

Like 2008's 'Twilight', it's all about the main female lead, Tessa... who like Bella (from Twilight) if she didn't feature in the film everyone else would be better off, and more importantly, alive!

The film gets off to an irritating start! Tessa goes to a struggling cinema to watch a foreign film where several things happen:

1. She doesn't have enough money to pay the full cinema ticket but still goes in 2. She goes to see a foreign film and then demands the elderly man working there puts on subtitles 3. She tells Skylar she will demand her money back - when she didn't have enough money to pay the full price in the first place

It's not a terrible story, but there is nothing original here. 5 out of 10. There are better films around.

"The In Between" opens with a David Foster Wallace quote: "every love story is a ghost story." This is what happens to Tessa (Joey King) following a fatal car accident that claims the life of her boyfriend Skylar (Kyle Allen) and leaves her with a broken heart. Her destroyed phone inexplicably turns on and shows a photo sent to her by Skylar, and she feels his presence at the hospital. Another fellow patient tries to tell her about ADC - "after death communication". This is the punch line and the story line. However there are more plot holes in this movie than in a Swiss cheese. This movie also blatantly idealizes Tessa's desire to end her life to be with Skylar. Apart from the strong acting performance of Joey King (Tessa), this movie is a waste of time. There is no clear direction and the supernatural stuff in this movie just does not make any sense at all.
