Heartland

I was surprised the IMDb rating wasn't higher. This is one where you should watch it and decide for yourself. I didn't expect a lot, but it far surpassed my expectations and went quite a way beyond. The portrayal of someone coping with the loss of a loved one to cancer was spot-on. They also nailed the confused and messy state of attraction and love. The portrayal of family life and a conservative community? Also apt. Thought the lead actress' performance was especially good. If you're looking for a cheap woman-on woman-movie (which, admittedly, can have its benefits at times), this is mostly not it (there was one notably passionate encounter). If you want a drama punctuated with a bit of humor that will leave you wanting a big glass of red wine, this is it.

A colleague and I saw this movie because we thought the plot was very interesting and somehow original, the movie starts promising, but the minutes pasts and nothing happens, and nothing happens, sometimes gets very boring, we were expecting a more fluid romance, flirting, or some sensual scenes. And besides this we didn't identify with her pain and her grief, the story gets boring and boring. If you expect a reckless affair don't watch this movie.

This movie was well acted and put together, and I enjoyed it.

However, it in no way matched the description, from my point of view and the whole thing was a little obvious.

I mean literally 10 minutes into the film, i knew more or less what was going to happen.

Ok this movies does not need to be taken very seriously and just enjoyed. Loved the 2 main characters and felt the chemistry between the same way great seen it multiple times Great job by the director in creating a Lovley movie.

There is a little disconnect in Heartland. The opening, the main story (once the brother and girlfriend arrive), and the end. The three are related but a bit disjointed.especially the ending which goes off in a rather unexpected and not totally well developed, even if somehow satisfying direction.

I found the depiction of small town events to be quite convincing for the most part in particular the picnic scene and the sales pitch for a multilevel marketing product was so spot on.

The main romance section was well done and convincing as was the eventual reveal even if the aftermath will leave one head scratching and a suffering bit of whiplash. Despite that it was the right ending.

All that said it was a good effort well paced and acted.
