Angel of Mine

What a fantastic movie. You know the synopsis by now and you have heard complaints of slow paced first half. Ignore that because the pay off is worth it. I am not going to give you a clue just trust me. The one point I will make is that in the wrong hands and with the wrong cast this could have backfired but this is in perfect tune with incredible performances by all. I mean stunning, award winning level. Not just Noomi Rapace but Yvonne Strahovski too. I suspect they helped each other tremendously because their interactions are so believable to watch. If you are deciding to watch it just do it, it is a little gem.

A wonderful, independent film produced in Australia that takes viewers on a powerful, emotional rollercoaster. Rapace's performance was marvellous - she delivered a moving portrayal of a grieving mother struck by anxiety and depression. I loved the fact that all of the supporting actors were equally astute and were able to deliver consistent performances to add suspense, intrigue and a welcomed sense of confusion throughout the film.

All in all, if you want to get away from the action-hero centred blockbusters currently blotting our screens and immerse yourself in a dramatic production, Angel of Mine is the film to watch.

With a movie like this, there is only one of two things that can be real. Saying you knew all along is therefor invalid. You're not a genius for figuring it out or worse pretending to knew all along. Whatever you guessed and there will be guessing, this is made with quite the attention to detail and the actors really give it their all - on the brink of madness.

It is tough to like anyone in particular, apart from the kids. Kids mostly are pure and can not be held to any morality standard. You can feel the pain of the adults, no matter what your perspective is ... how far would you go and who should stop you? And who would you be in that equation? A lot of interesting questions raised ... mostly for effect and suspense of course

Both my wife and I fancied this movie from viewing the trailer. Acting and direction is at a good standard but I found two thirds of the movie boring and so did my wife but I'm glad we stuck it out until the end as the last third of the movie was very good. We both scored this movie a 6 and agreed that it was worth viewing.

Oposite from others opinion... Personally I have enjoyed first part of the movie, the psychological, emotional, painful part of it...With most incredible performance by Noomi Rapace.But the ending was very disappointing, for me. Typical Hollywood style... 6 stars just for Noomi.She is one of the most versatile and powerful actresses.
