Help

I don't think I've actually ever written a movie review before. But I'm so annoyed that I paid to rent this movie after seeing it had a 100% rating that I had to say something. It seriously said it had a higher rating than Summer of Soul. This movie is a 15% at best.

It's slow, predictable, the dialogue is stupid and there's not much redeeming except for the eye candy of the actors and of the gorgeous house where the entire thing takes place.

Please help me heal from this experience by not paying to rent this movie.

I can only imagine the 9 and 10 ratings are by friends, family or cast. The script and acting are painful. Half the time the actors are walking about like they're in a dream and apparently you need threatening music for no reason just to walk from room to room. Flashback shots are disjointed and take a while to figure out what's going on and that is what they are. The final scenes were more hilarious than dramatic.

Two stars awarded for Grace's stateside boyfriend having the sense to break off at the start of the movie.

HELP is not a grand or tinsel film, but realistically focusing on love supposed to be romantic in a beautiful countryside displayed to us by a long take. Thanks to closeup skilfully used by the the director, I can be following a love triangle between Grace, Liv and Edward through their facial expression and feeling their emotions psychologically. The film has my intense curiosity all time with unexpected plot twist, however, the most meaningful point is I am asked a question, what is love? Paradoxically, is it something very selfish, or something need to be morally rational? Perhaps, everybody has a secret, and everybody has a different answer.

Excellent direction and misdirection, film score and strong acting combine to form a affecting thriller and a mediation on relationships.

The film keeps you guessing until the end and it's refreshing to watch a film that doesn't guide you how to think or feel nor does it outstay its welcome over a taunt 90 minutes.

Well worth your time. Recommended.

Some of the worst acting I have seen. If for some reason you find yourself watching this, stick with it until the end because once it's finished, any movie you watch thereafter will feel like a Hollywood blockbuster.

It isn't just the acting, the camera angles were also pretty poor. At one point, I thought I was getting vertigo as the camera kept panning from one side to the other, for absolutely no reason.

Far too much talking between the actors, storyline is virtually non-existent, the highlight was when the credits rolled.

The higher reviews must definitely be from family and friends of the cast.
