The In Between - Non ti perderò

I actually thought this was done quite well. It was well written, some interesting concepts, first love and horrendous tragedy. Not too cheesy, but you felt the emotions with the characters.

The premise wasn't large enough for the movie. The actors made the love story convincing. There was great beauty in the choice of locations and images. But the lack of depth in the singular point to which the flow of the movie travelled was too superficial to anchor the film, it couldn't rise to greatness. It's too bad, there were such great elements. I wish I could have given this film more than a 7 (okay) out of 10. {Ethereal Romance}

"The In Between" opens with a David Foster Wallace quote: "every love story is a ghost story." This is what happens to Tessa (Joey King) following a fatal car accident that claims the life of her boyfriend Skylar (Kyle Allen) and leaves her with a broken heart. Her destroyed phone inexplicably turns on and shows a photo sent to her by Skylar, and she feels his presence at the hospital. Another fellow patient tries to tell her about ADC - "after death communication". This is the punch line and the story line. However there are more plot holes in this movie than in a Swiss cheese. This movie also blatantly idealizes Tessa's desire to end her life to be with Skylar. Apart from the strong acting performance of Joey King (Tessa), this movie is a waste of time. There is no clear direction and the supernatural stuff in this movie just does not make any sense at all.

The In Between is a film which has been told before; Ghost (1990) being the main template.

Like 2008's 'Twilight', it's all about the main female lead, Tessa... who like Bella (from Twilight) if she didn't feature in the film everyone else would be better off, and more importantly, alive!

The film gets off to an irritating start! Tessa goes to a struggling cinema to watch a foreign film where several things happen:

1. She doesn't have enough money to pay the full cinema ticket but still goes in 2. She goes to see a foreign film and then demands the elderly man working there puts on subtitles 3. She tells Skylar she will demand her money back - when she didn't have enough money to pay the full price in the first place

It's not a terrible story, but there is nothing original here. 5 out of 10. There are better films around.

RATED 6/10 Language: English

The romantic drama with supernatural story flow... The reason for supernatural angle looks so silly when it ends.... it was good in bits and pieces but as a whole something is missing...
