Funny Story

The film "Funny story" by Michael Gallagher prompted me to write a review about this film primarily due to the realism of the story. One of the main features of this film is the maximum realistic presentation and attachment to what can and usually happens around us.

The main characters of the story Kim (Emily Bett Rickards) and Walter (Matthew Glave) at the very beginning of the story are quite similar, although there is a big difference in age between them. These characters have low moral principles: the absence of any care for loved ones, their families, the search for adventure on the side and love for casual relationships.

Realism shows is that when viewing the film the feeling that it's really the people who live near us. In big cities, these people do not immediately see until you get to know them better, although the film shows us that, even being in a close relationship, you do not always know who is standing in front of you.

The special moment it should be noted that if the character Walter is really beginning to understand the end of the movie all their sins and realize that he needs to change, that Kim even at the end of the film, knowing what she's been doing, trying to somehow mask all perfect, justifying himself and shifting responsibility to others. However, the last scene between her and her fiancée shows us that she has finally spoken the truth out loud, which I think is a big step for her. The end for the character was left open, but I believe she left those loved ones, whom she had caused so much pain, and began work on yourself. I want to believe that a person who has done bad things, but realized them, will begin to change and eventually become a truly worthy person.

It is worth noting excellent acting of Matthew Glave and Emily Bette (even in scenes where they don't speak, they all conveyed with one look and movement), for stories about stereotypes regarding minorities, for stunning views and, of course, for showing people who do terrible things and with whom, I think, many are unlikely to associate themselves, but they remind us that we need to look at ourselves in the mirror from time to time and think about who you are and what you do. However, I think the film is not for everyone.

10/10

I had no expectations for this movie and was so pleasantly surprised. It does something that rarely happens it is being original. It is not patterned. You are not watching something you have seen many times. You start out thinking you might know where this goes but I assure you it won't. The cast is great. The main three characters are portrayed very well and the movie never tells the story judgmental. You can actually form your own opinion and it shows flawed people which is how people are and that is fine. It doesn't shy away from the pain and the disappointment life sometimes can be. Good movie, strong recommend.

I was shocked, I was shocked, I felt very awkward at times and I also cried. What more could you want! Diamond in the rough.

The movie is billed as a tragicomedy, but there isn't really any humor. I do give props to the dialogue delivery - the actors had a good script and the characters' emotions were conveyed accurately. On a basic level, we can all relate to the two characters as they grapple with a secret. And many may relate to the difficulty of having estranged family members.

I can't say it's a memorable or alluring movie, although the scenery and acting were fine enough. In my view, the subplot of the main character portraying a former television star didn't pay off in the end.

In closing, it's superb acting with an average plot line.

Not really exciting and although the story line was plausable the direction they took it was not. Bunch of misfits for friends. Maybe 1 funny part but the rest was just boring
