I just didn't get Rust and Bones. While Cotillard and Schoenaerts are great actors (and the child actor was very good too), I didn't think the story-line was believable.

The character by Marion Cotillard is that of a whale trainer in a marine park. We are introduced to her at a nightclub where she is involved in some fight that leaves her with a bloodied nose. It's never really explained why she goes out clubbing alone while her boyfriend stays at home. It is here she first meets Schoenaerts character.

Later a tragedy occurs which changes her live drastically.

Once the two main characters meet again and their relationship develops, it becomes very predictable the trajectory their lives will lead.

The choice of music was also mismatched. It was pop music and when the music played, it kept taking me out of the film experience.

This is what happens when you spend millions on special effect, visual design, artistic direction, famous actors, camera work and then you spend the time and effort on the script and story line.

This movie is the rare treat where all parts of the movie making process are taken into consideration. Nothing is missed. This movie is a rarity for me in that it exceeded my expectations. My faith in movie making restored.

I suggest Ridley Scott watch this film over and over and understand what a movie should be. Without a proper script, believable characters and a coherent story, you have nothing (I'm referring to Prometheus of course).

Well done Christopher Nolan and thank you.
