Wreckers

The premise was good, the actor did a great job, but i don't know.. i feel like something's is missing. And the ending... it's suffocating me. But I do like the tone and how slow the plot goes. I'm such a sucker for slowburn indeed. I watched this because i want to know more about Benedict Cumberbatch and it's a good beginning.

There is something missing from this movie. It has potential but just misses the mark with so many unanswered questions.

Just saw this on Artificial Eye DVD. Well acted and tightly written, this movie is strangely simple and plain - and captivating. It had some unnecessary character-standing-and-staring- sequences, but overall the rhythm was good. It seemed realistic and there was some real suspense too. It's also contemporary story in which young professional couple moves to the country side for a hope of a simpler lifestyle.

Claire Foy is amazingly sweet in this, very fragile and very beautiful. Benedict Cumberbatch is a believable troubled teacher and Shaun Evans sympathetic as the little brother. Liked the overall cast.

Good indie movie.

A quiet, peaceful, slow paced yet interesting drama which portrayed the bittersweetness of life beautifully and made me cry, disgusted and relaxed throughout. At first It appears pretty normal but it is way darker than you may expect simply because its somehow about human nature, untold stories and lies! The rustic and Christian vibe of the film mixed with great soundtracks and outstanding performances were very impressive. I am a Cumberbatch fan and I think he's done a perfect job doing the justice to the character. All the positive aspects aside, wreckers is a very calming film which you might want to fall sleep to

Those who, like us, are always hungering for fresh Cumberbatch might want to give this one a look. It's a bit like an updated version of a D.H. Lawrence story ("The Fox"?) or maybe one of those tales of depraved country life that are satirized in "Cold Comfort Farm." Time sequence and plot mechanics are sometimes a little vague; the contrast between the leisurely, naturalistic buildup and the stark, abrupt resolution ("at one fellow swoop" as a Netflix reviewer adorably put it) was a little unsettling as well. First-rate performances and camera-work, interesting locations. BC fans not fond of arty, impressionistic films should prob'ly stay away.
