The World to Come

Like all lesbian romance period pieces, it was about undeniable feelings that must be denied.

But something about it felt very deep and real. I didn't cry or feel much, but it made me think and wonder.

I really really loved the set and costumes. I couldn't find any trace that it was filmed in the 21st century.

Thoroughly enjoyed this film; the lead actors captured the essence and brought same to the screen. That said, I found arguably more revealing the pathetically shallow "reviews" that captured so well their bigotry. Wow - thought we were moving beyond.

Obviously the best of the movie are the performances, that made the movie interesting,. Kirby is just amazing and real, and waterstone is delivering a really good performance.. Both made that the story get more interesting, and felt connected. Movie has made in Rumania in a mountain where the entire cast was isolated, so the movie is as well isolated, with 2 amazing performances. If We compare with ammonites for example, I think that has note been well directes, there is a lack of details, so is one of the reasons why movie Doesn't have punch.. It's whorty just for watch the performances of kirby that is the actress of the Future, a beast of acting, and Waterston that from the inmaculate actress that seems appears at almost the same level than Kirby

This is much more of a period romance done right: it´s an excellent one. A movie that lives up the expectations thanks to striking performances, great score and really good direction. A superb work!

The World To Come: Life was bleak and hard in 1856 in Upstate New York, rocky fields, sheep, (could be Connemara), chickens. Life was lonely for women, but here a relationship develops between two women which goes beyond friendship. Tragedy results but the unfolding of the narrative is moving. A tale of love, separation, hardship, patriarchy and it's discontents. Directed by Mona Fastvold from a Screenplay by Ron Hansen and Jim Shepard. 8/10.
