Some Other Woman

Eve seems to have it all, she's living in Paradise with her husband Peter, she has a right friend circle, life is good, until her life seems to be overtaken by the beautiful Renata.

Ok, so don't ask me to explain the plot, the ending, or anything about it, as it's the epitomy of gobbledegook, I can't imagine for one second that even the writer has a clue what came of this adaptation.

For the most part, I enjoyed it, just a trippy and ambiguous thriller. The first half of the movie is very good, the second half, not so. It should have been so much better, if only Eve's journey had gone in a different direction.

It's almost like the middle of a movie, you're a little confused by the start, and you're certainly not given a confusion, you need to put the pieces together for yourself.

Drugs, fantasy? Who knows.

Tom Felton is always good value.

6/10.

Some Other Woman is a thought provoking thriller starring Amanda Crew, Tom Felton, and Ashley Green Khoury - with a supporting role for ex-NBA player, Rick Fox! Tom Felton is no longer the mean-spirited one-dimensional Malfoy from the HP universe - I thought he did a great job in his role as Peter.

The writing is smart and keeps the mystery developing without any significant lulls. Like any good thriller, you're never quite sure what may be around the corner next and you are soon drawn into the story as it unfolds.

Under the radar movie with a limited release, but worth hunting down and checking it out!

I don't mind thrillers that do build up and make you think(aka psychological thrillers) but this was bad. There basically 2 parallel stories in this movie told from the perspective of 2 women with the same exact friends and married to the same guy but something just seems off.

Sounds like a decent enough premise right? You could go anywhere here and pull the rug out from under the audience and dun dun dun, one of them is the "real" woman and the other is an imposter who is deluded into thinking the fantasy in her head is the truth. Right there, that already sounds miles better than what happened here!

Instead they show the 2 women's perspectives, drop subtle red herrings, a cat fight ensues and an ambiguous ending closes it out. We don't know if both women were somehow living out their fantasies with the same guy as their husband and the same friends and the desire to have a child of their own but this just wasn't executed well at all. Fine, neither is the real Slim Shady so to speak, but give us more to the ending...

What seems like happened is that someone or multiple people wrote 2 different stories halfway and mashed them up into this mess and tacked on an ending that they can say is thought provoking. Nope, not this time. All we got here is 2 incomplete stories that were half told that turned into a movie that looks like it ran out of ideas and money.

If this wasn't a thriller, I would've walked out halfway but I wanted to see how it all played out. This was a very limp thriller that wanted to be clever but just didn't execute properly. Save your time and money.

Tom Felton AKA Melfold from Harry Potter just didn't convince me. He came off more feminine than the two women who played the part of the wives. So I just couldn't get into this from the jump.

And his British squeaky accent was like fingernails across a blackboard irritating. So chalk this up top the casting director.

The dialog was campy and lame and did more harm then good, so was just another chink in the armor. I don't think I lasted to the halfway point before ditching this and moving on to something less juvenile in it's ability to provide quality entertainment. Like watching the Flintstones or the Jetsons.

A more then generous 2 out of 1,000 and a hard miss this monstrosity at all cost.

Knowing it was a thriller I kept watching until the end, hoping for some explanation to the madness on my screen but nothing happened. Actually, it was really like everything that happened to the characters on the screen unhappened. Some elements are thrown at us like the island legend and some of the autochthones presence at keypoints but nothing tangible and so the audience is completely lost. I did like the beginning though, the fact that we did not know who to trust -the answer to that question ended up being no one. The actors did their job really well, the only fault I find is in the writing really. The whole plot seems unfinished.
