    Pretty good

    The general response to this film is bipolar. Either a masterpiece or godawful. I thought something in between. It is definitely a psychological rather than action movie, but I found the interpersonal dynamics interesting enough to hold my attention. The acting was good, and the characters pretty well crafted. People exhibiting a mix of behavior one will find familiar and unfamiliar. Overall it seemed to me a worthy effort. The critics certainly felt otherwise.

    Beautiful

    As a first review and as a fan of small, foreign films, I happened to stumble upon this title when it was being advertised as playing in Los Angeles & New York. But to my surprise, the title was available on VOD and after watching the intriguing trailer, I gave it a whirl with my husband. I was very moved by this movie. It was unexpected. And I unexpectedly am now writing a review.

    To start, the craftsmanship is superb. The music, the cinematography, the strong performances and the direction were not formulaic and expected. It's a film of bold choices and it felt very original. I applaud the director and writer of the film Angad Aulakh for creating something so different... Massive superhero fatigue in this household.

    Now the story... it's a small story. It's conversation-driven. It's not about A to B to C, it's about learning who these intricate characters are and it's a dance between them and how their interactions with one another reward (or the opposite) their lives. My husband and I were engrossed by the heart and soul of these characters. They were wise, astute, interesting people who carry immense pain with them. This is not some hot-button, socially-relevant film but why does every film need to be that nowadays? It was lovely to watch a movie about characters who feel very real and lived in and didn't have to be politically or socially charged.

    Now Iceland, if you've ever been like I have, you'll know the spectacular beauty. The cinematography just enhances it. But I love that it's not a travelogue film that uses Iceland as a tourist film would. It's just a setting. And it's cold and barren and is an interesting location to set these characters in.

    Ms. Gastini, who was beautiful in Borgia, is splendid as Marie. She's complex and highly-watchable. I was very moved by her character's storyline and emotional dilemmas, as she delves in with the film's David, played by the handsome young actor Guy Kent. He, too, is beautiful and touching in the role. There's subtly to his emotions, his melancholy, his lust, and he feels like a real man from a different generation. As they say in the film, "there's more to him than he lets on, and I find that attractive." Well, so do I. The character of David is interesting and unexpected and was filled by an actor who I enjoyed watching and entering into this world with.

    My husband and I discussed the film at length afterward. If you like films that provoke conversation, make you look at your own life and your choices, and inspires you by the artistry, this is a film for you. It's a wonderful movie. I highly, highly recommend this title.

    ... TBC

    ... doesn't-take-long into-this-movie & you realize-see how dumb-it-is... acting-writing-directing... location the only-positive... then you get halfway in wondering if it'll get any better

    ... sitting here now half-way.. wondering-guessing is-it-worth continuing-on

    ... and should it be decided to have nudity... have all actors in-agreement... otherwise scenes incorporating logical-nudity stand out against those that don't.

    Watching a tramp flirting is just boring.

    Well this is one of those movies you wonder why they make them. It should just had been a short movie instead as you could fit that whole story in about half an hour. Because there is not much going on in Autumn Lights. It's not a mystery and I wonder why it's categorized as such. A woman died in the beginning and that's about it for the mystery. Don't expect any answers or why they even showed that part of the movie as it has absolutely nothing to do with the actual story. The actual story is about an unfaithful wife, a tramp let's just call her like that, about her depressive state of mind, and about other men trying to have sexual intercourse with her, and this while her husband is the most naive guy ever. It's boring to watch, so don't believe any of those perfect ratings on here. The only good thing about this movie is the view of the lake but then again National Geography has way better documentaries about lakes.

    Worth Watching

    As the movie progressed, I was wondering if it was one of those that I wouldn't be able to finish. It was mostly predictable which is something I never like. Despite this, there were a few minor curve balls, and the characters were interesting enough to keep me watching. As the end neared the movie was looking like a high-3 / low-4 rating until the ending. It was good - quite good actually and one of those that keeps one thinking about well after the movie is over. Was it enough to make this worth watching? For me it was.
