The Glass Room

I've read some bad reviews, but I never lost my curiosity as to what would happen next. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Don't believe the haters.

When this movie reached its end I sat here going "Huh?" I haven't felt this way about a film in a long time, thank goodness. It was highly confusing. I just read in another review here that the title was changed from the title of the book the film is an adaptation of. I suppose the confusion starts there. As I watched "The Affair" I wondered which one the title referred to because there was more than one affair. Who was with whom was unclear to me and I really didn't know what the point of the movie was either. If I can see it again without paying (which I had to the first time) perhaps I will. Then I could redirect my attention.

It's a very beautifully crafted movie. I love the costume and cast. More to the message of the movie. Even in the darkest time, you can fine a light. Love wins.

I love period movies and this one doesn't disappoint. If you're distracted you'll lose track of the character's development.

I've not read the book it's based on, consequently I cannot assess the adaptation side of this story but regardless of that, I really loved the film. The cinematography is gorgeous and the music, minimalist, compliments the film beautifully. The two best friends have palpable chemistry and we root for them from their first scene together. Carice Van Houten is stunning and a real chameleon. She is so underrated.
