Posthumous

I decided to watch this film immediately I saw that Brit Marling acts in it, and certainly, I wasn't disappointed. In this movie the breathtaking beauty of this actress can be tested again, as it was in "Another Earth" or in "The East". And it's not only her gorgeous face what captivated my sight, also her performance took me into the deepest emotional side of my mind, not for crying, of course, but honestly, in every time I've seen her acting, I felt in love of her character. This film lets the viewer not only to have a nice romantic moment, such as anyone can get in any classical movie from Hollywood. Instead, its value is due to the topics that are treated on it; to be with someone that loves you is not enough, he or she has to be your biggest fan. To have someone to be with is amazing, but also its desirable if that person makes you explore your most creative parts of yourself. What would anyone prefer, happiness or greatness? If the most recognized artists' lives are read, you can find out that they weren't happy.

The film is a quirky romantic comedy that follows a struggling artist named Liam Price, played by Jack Huston. After a failed exhibit and some misunderstandings, people mistakenly believe he has died, leading to a newfound fame that he never really wanted. Enter a charismatic art dealer, played by the talented Britt Robertson, who is determined to capitalize on Liam's accidental notoriety.

What I loved about Posthumous is its exploration of the fickle nature of fame, especially in the art world. Wang's storytelling shines through with sharp wit and a good dose of humor, making it an entertaining watch. The scenes in Berlin give the film a vibrant backdrop, beautifully contrasting Liam's internal struggles with the lively city around him. The chemistry between Liam and his love interest adds a nice layer to the plot, making you root for their connection while Liam learns to navigate his unexpected fame. The writing is clever, and there are some genuinely hilarious moments sprinkled throughout.

While the film may not have the depth of The Farewell, it still captures Lulu Wang's knack for weaving cultural themes and personal growth into her narratives.

This romantic drama written and directed by Lulu Wang was something I will forget quickly, except few sentences from the end... "the most convincing lies are the lies we tell ourselves"... If I say to myself that this was a good movie because I always liked the acting of Brit Marling, I would lie to myself - she was simply terrible in this artsy philosophical journey towards the oblivion! I really enjoyed the cinematography, though, and I will search for more movies where Stefan Ciupek was the guy in charge for it... amazing!

The story was pretty lame, and it's about an artist who was reported dead by mistake, and his work suddenly becomes very popular... he decides to continue the charade posing as his own brother to a reporter who wants to write a story...

Get it on DVD... 93 minutes are much easier handled with occasional usage of pause button.

I loved this movie. I think that it is very under rated. I loved the characters. Jack Houston as Liam and Brit Marling as McKenzie were complex and great together. I loved Jack Houston as a leading man. I found that i wanted to watch it again as soon as it was over.

It is a simple romantic story, but not predictable. It is not the most original story. A tortured artist. A reporter personally involved in the story. But it didn't feel old. It felt new. I liked the pace at which this story was told. It allowed me to fall in love with both characters.

I loved the music in this movie. It matched the feeling and the vibe perfectly.

I have not seen either of these actors before, but i will be looking for them both now.

Overall, i just thought it was very well done.

Ok, it's a romantic comedy and we shouldn't expect much of it. But, come on, there are so many clichés and it is so far from real life that it is difficult to follow this. There are some good sentences and Huston and Marlin are good actors. But the whole thing is completely dischargable.
