D'après une histoire vraie

Writers block ... different edition. But again one, that you may have seen before or even if not, the mood of the movie seems to give away where this is heading. At least generally. If it were all smooth sailing, you wouldn't have a real movie. You need conflict in there, you need something that grips you and the characters in the movie.

Hopefully the right way and the suspension must work too. In this case there are cliches and you may shake your head on how gullyble the main character seems to be. You may very well be annoyed by her behaviour. If that is the case, you may not really enjoy what is coming. But there are things to discover and it still works as mystery thriller. It may not be Polanskis best (or anyone elses), but it's more than decent

Everything in movie was predictable, except one moment - which happened to be - unfinished in dead end street.

- Scenario is lacking the deeper dialogs - because everything seems rushed - and shallow.

- Then suddenly - the story began to look like the "Misery" - with locked hardly movable Delphine, with her injured leg - completely depend - of her younger "new friend" - in village house - with no people around - The "Misery" crawl out completely when Delphine ended up in bed, poisoned, and helpless, refused to surrender to her bully.

- So the movie was not so original, and Misery was far better in creating story tense.

- Actually the Misery part, should be the best one, but it came on 3/4 of the movie, probably seeing by Polanski as "peak" in story telling but it was to fast out - and leaved flat, leading imediately to end of the movie.

- It's kind of shame - because the story could be less predictable, and be better filmed and screenplayed.

Roman Polanski's one of the best movies. Thrilling 1.5 hrs approx. Eva Green was stunning. Seigner showed her aged beauty and experimented a new role for her. Thus duo was out of the box and in a word- Fabulous!!

Eva Green made 'D'après une histoire vraie' captivating. Her performance is beyond art. She has insanely captivating energy as Elle. Eva brings tension, alertness, and suspense on screen. She'll own you if you watch this. Other than that, the movie is solid average. It has that unique emotion that follows you from the beginning to the end. Actors played great roles, considering the part mentioned above, because the plot has gaps.

Sorry Mr. Polanski, but we've seen this movie before, many times. It's predictable and just as a few others. Nothing new here. Sadly. I watched it since it had your name on it...
