Un giorno e mezzo

Spoiler, I love slow-paced and confined drama where we take the time to know the story of each character.

This movie is all about issues in a couple culminating to the father kidnapping his ex-wife and his daughter.

All the actors are excellent, the rythme is slow but tense.

Don't expect any crazy turn as this on point with a realistic scenario (I think it's based on a true story). At the same time, it is not boring as the protagonist are going through multiple stage during the movie.

If you are looking to an emotional experience, diving into human life difficulties, this can be a movie you will enjoy.

If you are looking for something less true to reality but more entertaining, please look for something else.

This movie somehow remember me of Locke, which is another great confined drama, which share tons of similitude.

Really put things in perspectives! A very thought provoking, original, unique, interesting and intense thriller. With a realistic and genuine ambiance and atmosphere.

Fares Fares (both as director and as a actor), Alma Pöysti and Alexej Manvelov does a amazing job!

Its a very captivating thriller! It really captures the viewer into the ongoing thrilling crime drama and family drama.

Soundtrack is really good!

One of those few thrillers that actually feels genuine.

Filming is very good!

A very good and original thriller

Wery well made, except it fails sometimes with the writing.

I truly recommend it!

This movie is fantastic, the script, the characters, the acting, the realism. We (a Brit and a Dane, if relevant) enjoyed it immensely. There are so many twists and turns where you wonder in amazement at how well the story is told and then remember that this is because it's a true story.

On some of the poor reviews, it sounds that the reviewers who find the story or the characters unrealistic haven't realised that this is actually based on a true story and not a typical Hollywood script where characters have to fit certain stereotypes of either good or bad (never some of both), victim or perpetrator or hero, etc.

This movie is a masterpiece. It focuses so much on the story and gives perspective from everyones point of view. It even manages to give some morals to the kidnapper. The acting is great and the actors fit the characters they play really well. The movie was a very emotional one, were you got to see the main peoples troubles in thier own life, which I really enjoy. It gives the movie a more involvment and actually make the movie more senceable. I feel like it is one of those movies were if it was made by hollywood, then it would've been given a 10/10 even if it was the same movie. I think the only reason it's not 10/10 by everyone watching is because it isn't made from a huge and famous business.

The movie only seems like it takes a day and a half--it's only an hour and a half but I couldn't make it to the end, anyway. What a horrible premise.

Take the two least-suited people to get married and bring a child into the world, and then add a gun and a car and a whole lot of stupidity, and you've got this . . . Thing.

The protagonist is so far from sympathetic that the story is blown from the first couple of days (by which I really mean minutes). He has the boneheaded stolidity of Lou Reed trying to go straight. He can't be talked to. He is basically a victim of toxic patriarchal masculinity, but he doesn't play that in a way to invite the audience into his predicament. Instead he makes stupid choice after stupid predictably stolid boneheaded choice, what he thinks a man should do. He and his wife holler at each other a lot. As my Mom would say, "she's no prize, either."

The cop driving the car is kind of good--looks like maybe a version of Triton with that beard! He suffers the trials of Job, and I can only hope (because I just couldn't make it to the end) that he survived to take on some other unbearable burden of an assignment. Maybe he'll guard the Ferry Cross the Mersey or Cross the Styx.

Spartacus Super Bowl says, "well, it's kind of an attractive trainwreck."
