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...

It's rare that a film these days makes you fully believe and invest in the relationships which you see on screen - this film does that and more. The pain which you feel during the films first scene, after an argument between family members around a table, is so relatable and close to home. It's beautifully shot from beginning to end, with the last scene using Wales' gorgeous landscape to it full potential. For a film shot in under two weeks, it's a mammoth of an achievement by director Tom Cullen.

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.

Raw, super-watchable, electrifying performances. The film is incredibly authentic and extremely funny at some points! I never wanted it to end.

Extremely accurate and relatable portrayal of the highs and lows of romantic relationships, complications, love, hate, peace and war, all included; thus, not the most easy or fun thing to watch, and often mundane. But for a lifetime psychology student and people watcher, it was constantly compelling. Many audience members will disagree, but this is real life. Watching the full range in an accurate relationship portrayal is inevitably going to contain minutiae and tedium. Extra kudos for a realistic rather than fairytale ending.

Unfortunately, this was a lesson in how to confuse the audience with arbitrary and disengaging time shifts. More seamless ones could have made this good film great.
