Retour Clandestin

The film demonstrates remarkable proficiency in its execution of camera angles, fashion design, and the selection of diverse environments and locations. Visually, it captivates the audience, creating a rich and immersive cinematic experience. However, the storyline presents some accessibility challenges. A significant portion of the dialogue is delivered in a foreign language, and the absence of English subtitles for these segments hampers the audience's ability to fully comprehend the narrative. This is a regrettable oversight, particularly given the film's high production values.

Furthermore, while certain camera angles contribute to an intriguing atmosphere, the pacing of the film is notably sluggish. It takes a considerable amount of time for the story to hint at its horror elements, which may leave some viewers feeling disengaged. Personally, I favor films that introduce horror themes more swiftly or interweave them throughout the narrative from the outset. I find that productions adhering to conventional themes and formats within the basic horror genre often lack the depth and innovation that truly engage my interest.

Everything about this movie is average, except: 1. The script (it sucks) 2. The directoin + editing (it's boring) The plot is so predictable it makes your eyes bleed.

Let me give you a hint: at the very instant I heard someone say the word "Bicycle" I said to myself: "The girl is gonna die in an accident. No way around it."

The whole script is so terribly predictable that this movie should have a big disclaimer on the opening credits saying... "Spoiler Alert!"

This movie was made just because thera is a streaming service to back it. No sane producer would touch this with a ten-foot pole. Nor would they be able to hire the main star in the cast, even though she's like "C" grade.

Here After, starring Connie Britton, explores life, love, and the afterlife in a whimsical yet disjointed way. The film follows a man's journey in the afterlife, where he must find true love to move on, blending elements of romance and the supernatural. While the premise is intriguing, the execution falls flat, with pacing issues and dialogue that sometimes feels forced. Despite a solid performance from Connie Britton, the film struggles to connect emotionally, leaving you more aware of its flaws than invested in the characters. Overall, it doesn't quite deliver on its promise, making it a tough watch at 3/10.

I don't think Connie Britton was the right actress for the part. She may be ok for Hallmark but that's not my cup of tea. I think there was a good storyline behind it, it just missed the mark. I wouldn't placed it under horror. Maybe drama. I also could have done without the Italian, I think the accent would have been enough. I hated they used a point she thought children would make things better. Sounds like something from the dark ages. It needed some tweaks. Needing help but not wanting to tell why was annoying but I guess they though the was a big part of the plot. It just needed more. With an actress more suited for the role!

I didn't have any expectations of the movie beforehand. I like the lead actress Connie Britton and the movie description sounded interesting so I decided to give it a try. I felt it was a haunting sort of movie rather than scary. Details slowly unfolded with the use of flashbacks and dialogue. It could have been a predictable movie but I didn't feel it was. It could have ended a few different ways. I liked how it ended. I can understand why some people found this movie slow and not scary. I wouldn't categorize it as a horror. I think it was more of a drama and thriller. I thought the acting was very believable.
