The High Cost of Living

I just saw that movie at Tiff bell box , it was on the Canada top ten list of this year. This is the first movie of Deborah Show.Pretty amazing cast. The title contrary of what some people thought is really boring it says everything: you are going to see a drama, you are going to experience what life is dealing with.

The story makes us remember of 21 grams without a so specific direction. I would say, its a good movie but nothing in ordinary about it even though the main idea was unique ( I personally never heard about it ), it seems that Deborah didn't show anything specific about her way to direct, but she's maybe too young for that..

Lots of cliché , the direction don't give us any chance to be surprise, in contrary it's pretty sad how much everything we expect to happen, happens.. I was pretty disappointed about some scene which were too neutral, without any emotion contrary of what we could expected.

Henry finds himself falling in love with the victim. It's a very tragic story, I watched it with the French spoken, but with subtitles. All of the English was spoken in English. This movie is filled with sorrow and love. If the two had met under different conditions ,it is believable that they would of made a very loving couple. Good acting. Her husband is not a very good person. She deserved better. I liked both of the two main characters very much. They had good chemistry.

This riveting film is not your typical redemption movie, though you see in a realistic fashion the main character searching for it diligently. Zach Braff plays a man without boundaries or concern for consequence who is suddenly arrested by his own poor choices. The story follows relationships between people who connect, but, just like real life, not quite perfectly. You see the cost of these relationships, and how sometimes there is no pay off. I loved the character development and entire mood of the film. Braff, who I watched religiously on "Scrubs" is phenomenal and unrecognizable from previous roles. The entire cast is great and production and direction may have had budgeting problems, but not enough to take away from this gritty (I promised myself I wouldn't use that word) tale.

Terrifically emotive film. Almost too much to bear watching at times. I was, i guess surprised that only two other reviewer here seem to have experienced it in a similar way. At least, I'm not the only one.

I've just finished watching this movie and I must admit I didn't expect it to be as great as I think it was. First of all, the plot was original. When I read what was the movie about I automatically wanted to give it a try which now I think was a good impulse. The cast was unknown to me with the exception of Zach Braff whom I consider a great actor after seeing "The last Kiss" and "Garden State".

Second, the narration of the story was well done and I think there was nothing else to ad, of course the ending leave me hanging because I wanted to know what was going to happen next but nevertheless was a terrific ending. I just wish the movie could show all of that on the rating, the current one doesn't make it justice. I highly recommend it!
