Mon frère, ma soeur

The entire movie felt real and based on real characters but the ending threw me off almost completely.

I don't wanna give any spoilers but there's this element that appears out of nowhere, creates a plot twist and gives you somewhat of a happy ending.

I was like "what just happened???".

I guess that's what they call Deus ex machina. From wiki: a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem in a story is suddenly and abruptly resolved by an unexpected and unlikely occurrence.

I started watching without too many expectations but it's a beautiful movie and the most important thing for me, it's a movie with a message, with something to learn.

You often find gems where you least expect them. Roberto Capucci not only wrote but also directed this great film. Capucci will become one of the great Italian filmmakers if he follows this path, I am convinced. Good music, excellent actors, great story, pleasant atmosphere, heartfelt drama. Of course, there is no action, spin and brutality in it - that's why xyz, etc. Generation will not do. But if you open your mind, let yourself go, and let it take you, you will really enjoy it. A masterpiece. Thank you Roberto!

I was going to give this movie a better grade but the ending just left me like .. what the f just happened??

I got that they wanted to be abstract about what happens at the end (i won't say it due to spoilers) but it was just a little bit weird.

But how thick is it really? And can it be forced to live together? All questions that can be answered here - sort of. Because we all are different aren't we? I personally do not have those issues with family members - but hey conflicts make movies work.

So the issues they have here are supposed to be resolved - and of course that only means that we get to see a lot of drama and conflict. It is quite well written and it has some fine scenes and really good acting in it. Some will dig it more than others - as always I reckon. Not bad.
