When the Mist Clears

I am sorta lost for words. I don't think I've ever given a 2 rating. Maybe for a movie that was in terrible taste.

This movie is just frighteningly bad. How on earth did they get the funds to shoot this. Must have been a completely oblivious Angel funder.

The directing and acting are childish and at such an amateurish level I suspect most of us could do a better job.

How they forced the production value into this film I will never understand. The cinematography and music is occasionally decent with pretty scenery, but except for the opening scene of the city, still nothing we haven't seen done much better. And really, the scenery did most of the work.

So beyond that one aspect which gains two stars, the rest is unbelievably bad.

Acting: terrible Directing: terrible.

Circumstance: ridiculous (specifically the psychiatrist scene and the robbery scene) Historical exposition: contrived and exploitive/manipulative (and even failed at trying to do that)

Really did feel like people were reading their lines from a teleprompter for the first time.

I really tried to not sound too pretentious writing this. Sorry if I chose words that sounded as such. But I was really stretching trying to find the words to explain how bad this movie was. It's a b-movie not worth watching. It has no redeeming qualities or cultish fun. I don't think I've ever given such a scathing review where I couldn't find some redeeming qualities to a film.

If I was to recommend watching this, it would only be so you could discover something so bad as to be completely mind boggling and uniquely bazaar that it could ever be released.

Don't waste time for watching this. Story line is very bad. And the acting is the same. Lady in the main character doesn't know acting at all. Her voice is..urgh.. Waste of time...

Sometimes a film is so boring that you question what's the value of your time. I can see the audience intended for the film it but it still fails it's own audience. Nothing but a variant of the same love story we've been accustomed to.

Actors did a subpar job, felt like they were casted either through nepotism or based on looks alone and the worst part about it is that the actors constantly looked like they forgot their lines. The main character is really pretty but she acts like a 14yr old who was casted through a high school popularity poll. The rest of the cast doesn't help either, as they walk into sets; read their lines and then get off camera to never exist ever again. Dialogue scenes do nothing but show you how emotionless the actors are.

It's amazing how not active the plot is. Perhaps the writer didn't get enough time to flesh out the script/plot, because this feels like every other half-baked romance movie. Character interactions are constant expositions which keep droning on and on.

Overall, this is the type of movie you'd wanna play to do something else. Requires no attention at all, so you can play it when you trying to get to second base with a partner as background noise and once you're done, you'd give it one glance and know exactly what has happened.

Beautiful picture with nice idyllic Italian scenery. The sex scenes were a bit much but I guess that's my fault for not checking that it was "erotic". Dreamlike.

This movie was much deeper than what I expected to see. A spoiled rich brat who was brought up with no attention or care from her parents, and has as a result a ton of psychological problems, is taught a basic lesson: that hardship brings happiness, as long as one is smart enough to pay attention.

The lesson is taught by a self-made millionaire, who has realized money does not bring happiness unless you know yourself and give meaning to your own life.

Don't watch this if you want to watch a pointless erotica movie - do watch it if you want to see beautiful people, beautiful scenery and are ready to go past the bad acting and chemistry of the lead duet, and focus on the deeper meaning instead, while still enjoying the visuals. This movie delivers a strong message that everyone can benefit from.
