Second Coming

I'm sorry but I just cannot get into this movie at all. I had a lot of hope for it based on the synopsis but it isn't grabbing my attention at all and I can not get engaged in this movie not to mention that I'm having trouble understanding what they are saying. The British accents are pretty thick I guess and is also very slow pace. It's not something I think I can even finish watching. Usually if a movie does not grab my attention by at least the 1st half hour it's not going to and at that point I'm not going to give it chance to... so sorry.

I found this film beautiful. The slow pace, the fragmented conversations, the authentic accents, all worked to bring you into the world of this family and their everyday experience. At times it was raw and painful, at others it was touching and sweet. The story is told as if the viewer is getting a peek into their world, not as an over-dramatic or glamorised performance that explains every movement. If you prefer all your films to spell things out for you so you don't have to think or have the same americanised english accent, then maybe it's not the one for you. Anyone willing to be open to something else, then I'd recommend.

I am a big fan of the Film Movement series and my wife is a huge fan of Idris Elba so we both had great expectations for this movie. Unfortunately it became clear early on that the outline of the plot lacked development. It was shallow and the lead actress,Nadine Marshall failed to add depth to what was obviously meant to be a complex character study.

The movie opened and failed to develop many sub-plot lines which involved potential martial issues as well as mental state of mind. This is a very shallow and disappointing movie.

A word about Film Movement, I do not understand their reluctance to add sub-titles to movies with difficult accents such as the combined West Indian cockney used by the main characters. We don't think that would change our opinion of this movie but we missed 50 percent of the words.

If I wanted to have a movie "left up to (my) interpretation", I would have only read the plot and not wasted nearly two hours I'll NEVER get back! I would be livid if I had paid to see this. Out of all the movies I have seen employing the same tactic of disregard for those investing time and/or money in viewing films, this takes the cake! What a way to royally mistreat an audience.

I hope Idris was well compensated for wasting his time on this instead of showcasing his talent in something worthwhile.

Do not be deceived by the trailer, this is not the film you think you are about to watch. It's worse. Much, much worse.

Although aesthetically pleasing and possibly a good idea on paper, this film is a waste of the great talent of all cast members involved. It had the potential to be a moving, emotional, thought provoking experience but was let down by the painfully slow pace and depressingly poor resolution to any of the subplots. Leaving the ending open to interpretation was not thought provoking, but rather frustrating and disappointing to a confused audience that have been invested in the characters personal lives for an hour and forty five minutes. Calling the film a let down would be an understatement.
