Pink Wall

This was added to a movie app I have so I decided to look into it to see what people thought, and it has mostly very positive reviews on here so I thought I'd give it a go. I like the romance/drama stuff sometimes. I didn't even make it all the way through this... I mean, it had heart, but it was jumping all over the place. A glimpse at a couple's relationship that bounces around from random times during a 6 year span. No specific order, starting with an event taking place in the 4th year of their relationship, then jumping back to year 1, then jumping to another year, and then jumping back to one of the previously explored years. It just got frustrating to me. I liked where the story was coming from, I just couldn't stand the way it was told...

Saw this at the London Film Festival and it really moved me. I love the time structure and the cinematography is stunning. Tatiana and Jay's on screen chemistry is unparalleled. Such incredible performances in such an authentic and achingly beautiful debut.

This film is stunning. A quiet piece, weaving through different periods of time seamlessly, it captures the volatility and tenderness of two people genuinely trying to make their love work, even as it is falling apart. I smiled all the way through it, even as my heart broke for them. The cinematography is stunning, it's effortlessly directed (by first-time director, Tom Cullen, who has an excellent command of both visual and emotional language) and beautifully acted. Tatiana Maslany is superb, and Jay Duplass does some of his best work. Couldn't recommend more highly.

Extremely accurate and relatable portrayal of the highs and lows of romantic relationships, complications, love, hate, peace and war, all included; thus, not the most easy or fun thing to watch, and often mundane. But for a lifetime psychology student and people watcher, it was constantly compelling. Many audience members will disagree, but this is real life. Watching the full range in an accurate relationship portrayal is inevitably going to contain minutiae and tedium. Extra kudos for a realistic rather than fairytale ending.

Unfortunately, this was a lesson in how to confuse the audience with arbitrary and disengaging time shifts. More seamless ones could have made this good film great.

She is a hard to like hard a--. He, a rudderless milquetoast. Inherently, their relationship should have never been. We get that over the first hour and a half of the relationship dissection "Pink Wall". Then a few wasted and whispered words from her in the closing moments drive it home.

Tatiana Maslany and Jay Duplass each do a lot of ad-libbing here, and they're both damn good at it. Which leads one to believe that the script, such as it was, wasn't all that red hot.

In fact, it barely registers on the spectrum as pink-ish.
