Monday

Everything was underutilized. Usually movies like this the setting is a character in itself and it was as if Greece was an afterthought. This could have taken place anywhere and it would not have made a difference which undercuts the story.

The characters could have been fleshed out more. Yes, this is about their clearly mismatched/toxic romance, but I wanted to understand them more as individuals. Why did Chloe stay (what was she clearly running from back home)? What did Mickey see in her that allowed him to avoid focusing on his life's own shortcomings? She was a horrible person. She made poor decisions. She indulged in a lifestyle that may have been adopted in Greece, maybe not, but we will never know. Even if Micky was stuck in a perpetually adolescent/self sabotaging cycle I can't see what attracted him to her. It's not like he craved her stability. She couldn't offer any.

Stan and Gough gave amazing performances despite the thin script proving their talent and commitment.

The film shows two people acting without much regards to consequences. I find them immature, and I can't connect with them at all. I didn't get into the story, or care about the characters. I found it a bore.

I really hope Sebastian Stan and Denise Gough had a great time in their greek vacations (as of course the whole cast & crew) because I did not. The same problems that I have with Suntan I have with Monday. Great actors, great photography, great locations, overall good ideas, BUT THE SCRIPT! Oh the script once again is so boring, so dumb that my eyes rolled so far up my head that I was staring my brain...

I just can't stand movies were all it would take in real life it'd be just a conversation to solve our problems and in the movie they don't have that conversation because then you'd have no movie!

I guess this movie cements Argyris Papadimitropoulos' "thing" for having adults behaving like moronic kids in his movies. Even the ones that are supposed to be "mature". And in the end, so what? What happened? Do you care? I don't. The director needs to stop watching erotic films for his research in "relationships" and read a book, or grow up.

I just didnt see a lot of chemistry between the two leads to make it believable that they fell in love so fast in the first place. And they were so insufferable the whole time that it made it hard to like them or want to root for them or whatever. And I get thats kind of the point. They're meant to be this incompatible couple that sticks around because theyre kind of lost in life and at least can be lost together. But, it just wasnt that enjoyable to watch. And it was kind of repetitive as well. They party, they have sex. They kind of regret their choices, they make a huge step forward in their relationship, wash, rinse, repeat. I think it could have made a nice little short film though if it solely concentrated on the first weekend together.

I think if youre looking for a movie about "real relationships" with the ups and downs, I much prefer "Like Crazy". Still, Id give the film a 5. Wasnt the worst thing. Just very mediocre. The actors do the best they can. And I felt moved by Denise Gough at the end when she felt abandoned.

If this is another movie like Before sunset, they failed. The movie was kind of okay at times, but messy as to what it wanted to say and pass on. The couple was too childish that got annoying and when finally reality kicked in, the movie ended. So, you end up watching grown up people acting like teenagers.
