The Image of You

So I was winding down father's day with my 2 - 18 year old twin boys and my 15 year old daughter. Just as we were all about to say goodnight and I was ready to return to my home, my daughter said "dad, let's watch a movie together an we can make it an annual tradition. While I was exhausted and ready to head back home, I certainly wasn't going to pass on this very sweet invitation from my daughter and the start of a father's day tradition, so we settled into the family room of her mom's home and we searched for a movie that neither one of us had scene.

We stumbled onto The Image of You and wow what a way to start our tradition!!!!

Captivating, invigorating and even mesmerizing from the word go. We found ourselves sitting on the edge of our seats, passing on the snacks because we didn't want to miss a word and desperately trying to figure out where it was all going to land, something we both failed to do.

In addition to both disturbing but fascinating storyline, and well told, the movie's director kept a very high energy and excitement throughout the entire movie, using music, interesting split and quad screen shots that made the picture feel ALIVE!!!

So from a 62 year old man that was exhausted and an equally tired 15 year old girl - thank you thank you thank you - This movie made the start of our tradition a most memorable one!!!!

Really enjoyed this little gem. Sasha is amazing as Anna and Zoe and she can really act. The first plot twist is kind of obvious but I did not expect the ending. Let's just say it's nice when the good guy doesn't always win! Check it out! Not the best movie but it will keep you entertained. It's fun! What a movie is supposed to be. Sasha from Pretty Little Liars played Alison Dilaurentis all she is all grown up. You can tell that the role is perfect for her and this is what the ending of pretty little liars really should have been! At times it's a bit cringe at the start but towards the middle I was hooked.

I really sorry to be rude but certain films deserve certain screenplays, if certain directors deserve it, if they deserve it, let's start by saying that in this film there is the usual sentimental triangle that is used by all the screenwriters who do not have the skills of writing a script !! Consequently, they take refuge in stupid sentimental or sexual triangles, the riggia is really bad, the script is written with the feet and the actors are ridiculous I don't know what else to say to describe this garbage, this is an insult even for the films reserved for TV, in assist the films for TV are absolute cult.

Jumped into this mainly because of Sasha being listed as lead in something with an R rating, along with a great support cast; Mira and Nestor (the non-eyeliner guy). Never heard of the book, but I do get a kick out of the seedy twins genre in general, so I kind of knew the plot without knowing it. It did kind of seem like a hammy parody of itself at first, but the more I watched, the more I couldn't really look away from Sasha (especially as Zoe), so I stayed with it. Yes, the plot is familiar, and the major plot twist is easy to spot in the first 15-20 min, but I have to say, Sasha is back on her game here from what I would call a void since playing edgy Ali in PLL. She looked fantastic and had charismatic confidence in her screen presence. All the main characters were beautiful people here (something I miss these days), and those elements combined with the absence of tiring identity, social political, and environmental messaging ended up making this an unexpectedly pleasant watch for me.

Okay, this isn't my normal go-to type of movie, but a friend got me to watch it. And I do LOVE movies in general esp old movies from the seventies and before and there was so much style and movement and beauty to this film that it reminded me of movies from the past while definitely still being super modern and fast-paced. Also all the beautiful people in the film didn't hurt to look at. I thought the lead actress was INSANELY good. No spoilers but she did a helluva job. And Mira Sorvino and husband were epic. If you like thrillers and twisty movies or movies from an era gone by, check it out!
