Somewhere Only We Know

ALERT. PLEASE DON'T WATCH THIS RANCID FILM!!

Let's start with this director/writer should never be allowed to do anything else film wise. She/he/they/it is absolutely terrible! Why spending money and time to lure in producers and investors just to show them how bad you are as a writer and director.

BAD ACTING! BAD PLOT! SLOW AS SNAILS! BAD SOUND AND EDITING.

The list goes on and on. I have on clue why we need this junk to litter the film world. The director should be forced to flip burgers at McDonalds until their days come.

There is nothing good I can mention at all, except the cinematography in the beginning is decent and nice. But after 3 minutes in, I realized it's going to be hell to watch. The clue is when the guy pours liquor in the glass, and stops and then does it again. It's against alcoholic nature. They never stop and hesitates to do it.

After that scene, I get more angry and angry watching it.

15 minutes in, nothing but grunts, groans, moans, and grimaces. Is there gorilla glue in the lead's hair? Or just so much grease that it stays hanging in his face? I already don'tgive a crap about what his problem is. Wifey is terrible CGI, like something out of 50's horror movies. Oh, goodie. Now the rum bottle is talking. 21 minutes and done. Those 10 star ratings? Totally fake. Written by the director and his mistress, for sure.

This movie was a touching little gem. It was a serious subject yet it had a lot of really funny humor. I laughed out loud in some early parts. The main character Bobby has lost his wife and is trying to deal with it as best he can. But the wife feels he can do better, it seems, as she shows back up as a ghost.Their relationship is touching. Toward the end it gets seat-gripping suspenseful with a good reveal at the end. It worked for the ENTIRE FAMILY (14 and 16), which is soooo refreshing in this day and age. MAKE MORE MOVIES LIKE THIS PLEASE.

The movie started off fine but "crashed and burned" after 20 minutes of viewing. Primary issue: TOO SLOW Secondary issue: TOO drawn out plot.

The annoyance of Bobby's leftside hairline covering his eye 100% of the time was unnecessary to his depressed if not demonized/pill popping drunk half the time persona. There is no doubt, ANY ONE who has gone through the loss of a beloved, that it is a true "tsunami of sadness" forevermore. NOT the issue - the issue should have been played as it was depicted: MIL trying to make him pay/drive him insane for the death of her daughter, Brigitte. Barbara Barrie was her consummate self and I salute her effort in this "C" rated thriller. Sean Young lacked ANY personality in truth. Can't say much for others or the movie itself. A true bomb.

To be fair, all I could watch was the first 27 min. I don't know if it got any better but even if it did, the first 27 min was so bad, it's unforgivable. What is bad- well the leading actor- not so good, the story itself- unrealistic, or if it's meant to be a fantasy, it makes no sense. The sound- not good. You might say, 'how can you say the story is bad if you only watched 27 min- well- sorry, it's all I could stand.
