Pink Wall

This was added to a movie app I have so I decided to look into it to see what people thought, and it has mostly very positive reviews on here so I thought I'd give it a go. I like the romance/drama stuff sometimes. I didn't even make it all the way through this... I mean, it had heart, but it was jumping all over the place. A glimpse at a couple's relationship that bounces around from random times during a 6 year span. No specific order, starting with an event taking place in the 4th year of their relationship, then jumping back to year 1, then jumping to another year, and then jumping back to one of the previously explored years. It just got frustrating to me. I liked where the story was coming from, I just couldn't stand the way it was told...

Saw this at the London Film Festival and it really moved me. I love the time structure and the cinematography is stunning. Tatiana and Jay's on screen chemistry is unparalleled. Such incredible performances in such an authentic and achingly beautiful debut.

One of those, yes those Indies which look deep, sound deep, feel deep but at the end you wonder what you've watched. Likely is a dissection of a relationship that's rocky at best but also a slice of life. The characters are real, their impulses and emotions are real enough but we seem like an outsider looking in. Never to close to identify with them. So they're a bunch of good looking people going thru their crises and you get to watch. Not more than that though.

She is a hard to like hard a--. He, a rudderless milquetoast. Inherently, their relationship should have never been. We get that over the first hour and a half of the relationship dissection "Pink Wall". Then a few wasted and whispered words from her in the closing moments drive it home.

Tatiana Maslany and Jay Duplass each do a lot of ad-libbing here, and they're both damn good at it. Which leads one to believe that the script, such as it was, wasn't all that red hot.

In fact, it barely registers on the spectrum as pink-ish.

A truly beautifully film. Brutally honest and brave. It was a pleasure to watch from start to finish.
