Planetarium

I made it through this movie only to ask myself "why" at the end. The script is unfocused and never seems to develop a coherent theme. There are two psychic sisters who link up with a Jewish film maker. The anti semitism in this film is hohum. The psychic portion is a soporific. Arrow jewelry and bobby pins are sprinkled throughout the film for some reason. The cinematographer must be in love with Portman since the best parts of this movie are of Nat in many guises. Planetarium is in French. The actors speak clearly and the dialogue is slow. Maybe that's why I stuck with it. A good chance to practice my language skills. I can't recommend this film.

Very interesting characters. The pre WWII event. About two orphan sisters trying to make a living. The best they came up with is to help the people to make contact with their loved ones who had died. So far so successful. Especially when a notable filmmaker takes interest on them, their lives begin to change. Those were what shown to us in the rest of the film. But there comes a complication, especially the bond between the sisters was tested, and followed by the filmmaker's reputation.

There were many English dialogues. The casting was so good. The lead three was great. But there's something about the story. Overall, it looked decent, but I don't know that they cinematically well transformed. Looks like a literature kind of tale, yet it was not adapted from any such source. That is what's missing in here. You know, the good writer's perspective. They know how to take the story in a right direction.

I felt they messed the conclusion. All the sudden too much had happened. Even the twist did not feel like it was a twist. All the above, there's no strong emotional effect. The middle section was so plain. All I felt was the two sisters struggle. The rest did not make the film shine. Could be one time watchable, but I'm not sure you would like it at the end.

5/10

Definitely a poor film, there are several problems, first of all the film starts with numerous subplots that end with nothing done or are left to themselves without a real conclusion, the main plot is quite poor and if in the first few minutes I could have been intrigued by the quality then it drops a lot. The acting skills are average, Natalie Portman is very good, as always, moreover, even Lily-Rose Depp's interpretation convinced me even though I didn't particularly like the character, I was a little more perplexed by Emmanuel Salinger's interpretation that starts off quietly but that from the middle of the film and especially in the end improves. The thing that bothered me the most though are the dirty scenes that are randomly thrown in the middle of the film, and if you go from a simple nude scene of a few seconds, even if they make a thread of sense, you move on to real pornographic films that do not help in any way to expand and move the plot forward, let me be clear to me the dirty scenes do not particularly bother but they must make sense for the purposes of the plot, otherwise they are just embarrassing and negative. Too bad. Sorry for any errors in the translation.

I watched the whole film and still have no idea what it's about. It's beautifully shot, but the story is unintelligible.

The movie, despite being beautifully shot, was boring. Natalie Portman and Lilly-Rose Depp were both great in the film, Lilly-Rose Depp especially, but sadly their great acting, and good cinematography, the plot was so boring that I could barely force myself to stay awake. Covering the story of two sisters who can communicate with the dead, this movie starts with promise. The mystery of their ability, and the stellar performances from the two lead actresses carry you through the first half hour or so, but quickly their good performances are over shadowed by the bad performances from the supporting European actors, most of who were heavily accented and clearly didn't speak french as their first language. I waited over an hour in pouring rain at TIFF to see this film and regret every second of time wasted waiting and watching. Do not recommend this movie for anyone
