Angel of Mine

What a fantastic movie. You know the synopsis by now and you have heard complaints of slow paced first half. Ignore that because the pay off is worth it. I am not going to give you a clue just trust me. The one point I will make is that in the wrong hands and with the wrong cast this could have backfired but this is in perfect tune with incredible performances by all. I mean stunning, award winning level. Not just Noomi Rapace but Yvonne Strahovski too. I suspect they helped each other tremendously because their interactions are so believable to watch. If you are deciding to watch it just do it, it is a little gem.

Noomi Rapace plays a grieving mother whose daughter was killed at the hospital she was born in, now believes that after seeing a little girl at a party she takes her son to, is in fact her deceased daughter and from there begins the unfolding of this suspense story of psychological chaos with a superb twist in the end. 2019 has not put out any films to write home about, but if I was to write about one, Angel of mine would definitely be one of them. This was a very good watch. In a word... awesome!

Oposite from others opinion... Personally I have enjoyed first part of the movie, the psychological, emotional, painful part of it...With most incredible performance by Noomi Rapace.But the ending was very disappointing, for me. Typical Hollywood style... 6 stars just for Noomi.She is one of the most versatile and powerful actresses.

I am so glad that I checked this out. This is a slow burner that delivers. It is well acted and the story is well constructed. There is a great amount of tension throughout and while it doesn't have a lot of dialogue or backstory, the atmosphere totally draws you in and keeps you interested. The best part of this is believing you have it all figured out then being smacked with something you couldn't, or at least I couldn't, see coming. That qualifies it as awesome for me.

If you like thrillers, check it out. If you are a mom, check it out. It is so worth it.

Both my wife and I fancied this movie from viewing the trailer. Acting and direction is at a good standard but I found two thirds of the movie boring and so did my wife but I'm glad we stuck it out until the end as the last third of the movie was very good. We both scored this movie a 6 and agreed that it was worth viewing.
