    Sadie sink

    Wow why is sadie sink so good, her acting was so good, the story of the film is average, but the acting was wonderful. She will develop a lot and I believe that when it grows up, it will do even better. While watching Stranger Things I was already amazed by his acting and he did very high quality acting, Hopefully stranger things season 5 will also gwlir again and make it a super acting. While this review is only about sadie sink, I also liked the movie, But the story of the film could have been even better, I'm finishing this review here Good day everyone, see you friends see you sadie sink by.

    Before you watch it, and after you've watched it.

    I watched this story about a family going through turmoil after a tragic loss simply because Sadie Sink starred. I was not let down by my choice.

    The story itself is a simple one of happiness turned to grief, then grief turned to acceptance, and I agree with some that it is slightly predictable and slightly melodramatic.

    However I forgive all of that for 3 major reasons.

    Sadie Sink is fabulous. She's very expressive and very intelligent with how she is viewed and therefore how she must portray her character. She carries this film easily.

    The story is perfectly delivered with all main characters delivering quality results. Some of the dialogue is quote worthy: I loved the Before/After narration at the end. And the directing is very much top level. I loved the way all the characters were developed properly (except David for some reason) and I did feel a connection with each of them as a result.

    It would have been easy with the handsome Jimmy and the lovely Tess to have had them fall in love instantly and give us a steamy sex scene to show their passion for each other. However, they were very reserved, only enjoying the odd, brief kiss now and again for some time.

    When they did get passionate everything was suggested or hinted. There was not one single bit of passionate face smashing, or orgasmic thrash, or bare breasted chest heaving like we see so much of.

    I gave it an extra point just for that. But the other 7 I gave because it truly is a great film about loss and coping and recovering.

    Solid

    Dear Zoe is a mixed bag. Sadie Sink obviously gives a fantastic performance, and she shows so much range. Her character is also taken on such an emotional journey throughout the film and everything related to her learning to move on with life after the death of her younger sister is excellent. The movie also was very well directed, so many shots looked beautiful, and the transitions especially early on in the movie were awesome. However the script of the movie leaves quite a bit to be desired. The dialogue is clunky, the love story is very forced and the age gap is questionable to say the least. Story wise the best part of the movie was the relationship between Tess (Sadie) and her father, it felt very natural and the two had great chemistry. The movie had some good emotional scenes and nice performances but the lackluster script holds it back from greatness.

    Dear Zone might be worth watching, but only for the cast.

    If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free thoughts, please follow my blog :)

    "Dear Zoe explores the grieving process with sweet messages, but in addition to being extremely generic, Gren Wells makes questionable creative decisions that remove emotional impact from the narration-dependent narrative. Typical film that's worth watching more for the extraordinary performances of the cast than for the formulaic screenplay.

    Kweku Collins impresses on his debut, Theo Rossi demonstrates his underrated range, and Sadie Sink continues to prove why she's one of the most fascinating, talented actresses of her generation."

    A film worth watching

    Great movie. I really enjoyed and loved every second of it. Sadie Sink and Theo Rossi did an amazing job. It's really interesting the way they pulled out this story to be the way it should be told. What I mean by that is that they told a very uncomfortable story in very light way without making it hard to be watched or without making it to be something it shouldn't be. We don't have that much stories that are close to this one and that are made by really good actors. Nowadays we only have some sci-fi movies which are not connected to reality or the movies where we see way too much romance. For me this is the movie which should be an example for more movies to be made like this and on similar topics.
