Les Heures retrouvées

Wow, this was such a beautiful film! It reminded me in a way of 'A Ghost Story' (which I also absolutely loved). The acting was very good and it is beautifully filmed. Lee Pace in particular was very good as the father, Mark. The film has so much depth and emotion, it is just a very special film. Just to be clear, this film is sometimes labelled as a horror film. It is not. This is a fantasy drama. People who has just lost a child (or someone very dear to them) might want to steer clear of the film, as they're bound to reach for the tissue box more often than not. Despite all this emotion, though, the film also has some incredibly scary moments.

I loved the way the film ended. Although we knew what was coming, it was left to our imagination. Loved it. Great twist! Sad. Very sad.

That I only cried about 6 times while watching this movie.

All jokes aside, (I did actually, cry though.) This movie exceeded all of my expectations. 100% recommend you watch this.

Btw, to anyone interested in watching this movie, Please do ignore the negative reviews below. People tend to review a movie on how they wanted it to be, or how they wish it went, instead of reviewing the movie as it's own.

So, example, it's set as a drama/horror/romance movie, (in this case) and people are leaving bad reviews because they "wished it was a horror movie" and that they "wasted their time". Well, to this kind of people I wish to say: Maybe watch a movie that's only set as a horror movie, next time? OR, maybe go read other reviews before watching. Thanks.

This is a lovely, thoughtful movie about love, loss and forgiveness.

Beautifully filmed in a loving, slow paced way. It's a movie you just go into with no expectations and it finds a home within you.

Characterisations are well written and Sander Thomas is such a find as Jacob. Both Lee Pace and Carrie Coon are excellent in their respective roles.

I know that this is a movie I'll watch time and again. Subtle, soft and moving.

This is a good movie. The one of some of them. Good directing, good acting, good dialogues and good story.

Does not hurry when it does not need to be. And it does not force the emotions to the audience. Those come by thelselves.

Congratulation to all participants. Unfairly underrated.

A slow, loving ghost-story in the vein of A Ghost Story, beautifully written and directed. Each actor brought it; that kid is so endearing, not only how he looks but how he moves, just darling. The story is about a pull, sweet and strong. It is so sweet and so strong that the two parents of the dead child gave up their real lives to give into it. That way they could live in their bubble forever. The shadow cast upon this idyll is the foreboding one gets when contemplating that things never will change; the bubble degrades if it's static forever. It might seem like what happens at the end is the sadness but actually it's the thing that made their lives vibrant. Living with the ghost of their dead son would have become toxic.
