I Think We're Alone Now

Can't say this flick gives something new to the genre of post-apocalypse, but it definitely can give you something good to watch and some fresh ideas to mull over.

First of all "I Think We're Alone Now" is it's cast. Both main characters are well-written and amasingly played, chemestry between them is belivable and thier motives are queit understandable. It's interesting enough to watch how these two pollar opposite characters interelate in each joint scene.

Another peculiar fact about this movie is that it feels like a director's monologue about loneliness with or without people around and ability to handle significant loss in your life. Each character here has it's own way of managing such tragedy as a death of someone they knew. And I found it amasing that the idea of being honest to oneself is the most important moral direction for the main characters.

Also I wanna add that the sound accompaniment is great. Intense and dreadful, when it should be. It helps to feel the movie deeply.

If You are ok with something slow-burning but dramatic and thoughtful, You better give it a go, I'm convinced you won't be disappointed.

Looks like I'm one of the few who likes this film, so I had to drop a note. I admit it's almost too understated. But I like that approach, not having everything spelled out. The story is deep between the lines, at least until the confrontation. There's almost too much exposition for me in that moment, since they had already established such a sideways manner of presentation. Like "Night Eats The World" (which I also liked) I think the post-apocalyptic setting creates viewer expectations, and the film never has any intention of going down those avenues. I enjoyed having my expectations thwarted,in this case. About 20 minutes in I realized it wasn't going to be the film I had assumed, and just went along with it. I get why many people didn't like it, but it doesn't deserve that awful rating. It's not an action flick, it's not suspense or thriller. It a post-apocalyptic love story. And the cinematography is spectacular.

I was able to see a sneak preview of I Think We're Alone Now at "The Female Gaze" Film Festival in NYC. I had high expectations for the cinematography in this movie by Reed Morano and they exceeded all of them. The lighting was gorgeous and the set design was spot on.

While there isn't a lot of action or answers that one might be looking for in a post apocalyptic flick, you get all the story telling you need out of the nuanced performances by Peter Dinklage and Elle Fanning who share an undeniable chemistry.

Peter Dinklage is a national treasure. I became a fan of his through his performance in Game of Thrones and I've really come to enjoy his acting. He is the reason that I Think We're Alone Now is decent and worth a watch. I am a fan of post-apocalyptic stories in general so that contributed to my enjoyment.

However, this movie does have some flaws. The plot is slow moving, has weird abrupt tonal changes, unanswered question/plot holes and the final act is just weird. They shoehorn in a side plot that becomes a huge part of the ending and it just felt off to me. Plus I can't articulate just why, but I think the title of this movie is stupid. I guess it just doesn't fit in with the actual story, plus it makes everyone think of that song of the same name.

Recommended to fans of post-apocalyptic movies who enjoy strong acting. Not recommended to watchers looking for action or adventure movies.
