Fabbricante di lacrime

We went into The Tearsmith completely blind, not knowing it was based on a novel, and I have to say, it was a surprisingly solid pick for a Netflix foreign film, especially considering the expectations surrounding such movies. Mimikyu and Amy were all about the romance angle from the start (they were the ones who planned this movie night), and honestly, they hit the nail on the head with this one. The film's gothic atmosphere and mysterious aura grabbed Winny's attention right from the beginning. He loved the dark cinematography and how it set the mood for the entire film-it felt like a strange, beautiful world that you'd want to get lost in.

Mimikyu and Amy, true romantics at heart, were all about the chemistry between the two main characters. The way the relationship developed really spoke to them-they were totally invested in their love story. There's this emotional depth that pulls you in, and even though the characters' backstories aren't as fleshed out as we might've liked, it's still enough to keep you captivated. They both agreed that the cast did a great job in their roles, and it felt authentic, though it's clear the film is made for a younger, teen audience.

Sweet, on the other hand, was really curious about the term "The Tearsmith"-which, honestly, was one of those things that left us wondering a bit. The meaning of the term isn't fully explained, and while it adds to the mystique of the film, Sweet couldn't help but dig for a deeper understanding of it. That said, the film does a good job creating intrigue, even if some elements felt a little under-explained.

The bad parts? The movie could've dived a bit deeper into the characters and their development. The story leans heavily on the emotional connection between the leads, but at times it felt like it could've used a bit more substance. Also, some of the plot points felt rushed towards the end, which left us a bit confused. Still, the movie is visually stunning and the atmosphere makes up for some of these shortcomings.

All in all, The Tearsmith is a solid romantic drama that's dark, mysterious, and emotional. If you're into films that lean into mood over fast-paced action, then this is definitely worth a watch. Just be prepared for a somewhat slow burn and a few unanswered questions. But if you're a fan of emotionally charged romance with a touch of gothic allure, this one's for you.

Rating: 7/10.

I don't understand all the bad reviews - It's a good movie. Is it Oscar worthy? No of course not. Is it predictable? Yes but why be upset about it. Surely most people who watched or plan to watch the movie knew/know exactly what they were getting themselves into, so why be so hypocritical. This movie is watchable and a great way to escape reality for 2 hours. The dark cinematography adds a mysterious element and with an attractive cast, it goes well together. If you're not into dark romantic movies, then you should move along to something else. If you're going to watch it, just lower your expectations and enjoy the cheese.

I feel like this should've been a series or at least a longer movie, as there are too many crucial details in the book that they failed to mention in this movie. Especially a lot about Nica and Rigel's relationship wasn't really portrayed very well on screen and lacked the depth and detail present in the book, which is probably why most people rated this fairly low. I would, too, if I hadn't read the book before. Up until the middle of the movie it was pretty decent and followed the book accurately, but the rest felt incredibly rushed. I really urge people to read the book though, as it's way better than this adaption.

This didn't evoke emotions at all! It has the corniest most awkward and unrealistic lines, cliche and very predictable events, bad acting, stupid court scene, and what the hell kind of ending is that? If this is from a famous book which i haven't read, then this is the worst adaptation ever. This is the worst movie I've seen so far this year! A total waste of time! And who the hell dubbed it in English? The way the lines were delivered was so offputting, unnatural, and just plain weird. It made the actors look bad in acting. I dont know if it's the dubbing that's weird, or the actors. The directors did really bad in the way the entire movie was put together. The music background, the shots, the acting, the lines, the interpretation. It's bad enough that the plot sucks and has no originality but the fact that I am such a crybaby who could easily cry at the most trivial things and fall in love with the simplest things, yet this movie did not move me in any way and just basically transformed me into a stonehearted human being. The only emotion this movie unleashed from inside of me is anger. I am so disappointed for wasting my time!

I read the book and I was expecting some details not to be in the movie. However, they had so much potential and they lost it. Everything was very predictable and different from the book itself. The sex scene sucked, the timeline, and the scene itself took place in another setting. It was just so bad. Very disappointed. I wanted to feel sparks just like the book and I felt nothing but cringe. Not everything is bad though, the actors ans actress are very attractive and they got some important scenes and dialogue the same. But I have to rate this a 4 because didnt fulfill my expectations. Very sad.
