Strange But True

Movie thrillers and mysteries usually revolve around a "McGuffin," an art of fiction set up to establish the plot and motivate the characters but which matters very little by the end of the movie. It's the trap the filmmaker sets to capture the audience to invest them in the story he/she wants to tell.

In this movie, the McGuffin is the mystery itself. The filmmaker doesn't ask us to believe that a ghost can impregnate a sad and grieving girl. Instead, it asks us to look at how loss can become grievance and become toxic, and what it takes to remember who and why we love.

Give it a chance.

This is one of those mystery tales that keeps you guessing as to why our young female is now pregnant from, she believes, her deceased boyfriend from five years ago. We are teased with several possibilities from the mysterious to the bizarre. Of course the answer as to what happened occurs in the final minutes so be patient as you guess who, or what happened.

This movie starts out promising, because the mystery of why a girlfriend claims to be pregnant from her dead boyfriend 5 YEARS AFTER is intrigueing for sure. That is to say at the beginning...

The bad: this story has so many far fetched implausible plot turns piled on each other in the second part of this movie that it really makes it a bit of a disappointment to watch.

Not any good? Yes, the actor's are really good with true to life acting performances. The start is really good and promising. And however silly the many implausible plot turns are, for those who arent so critical it could be a nice thriller. But dont expect originality...

This is a solid movie. Slow in parts, but not too slow. It throws in a few surprises, but I saw many of those coming. Very few movies are truly original these days, but this film does a good job of repackaging what has come before. Can't complain about the acting and directing. It's solid enough for a film of this kind.

It's a decent little movie, which I would recommend.

Then you didn't pay enough attention.

It bugs me when people give the movie low rating but their comments make it obvious that they didn't pay attention or missed major parts.

This was a slow burn at the beginning but once we found out who the father was it picked up and concluded very well.

The acting was great

over all
