I like Rachel Weisz, but her talents are wasted in this boring flick. The story is not believable and begs the questions: Why even make such a film? Kathy Bates' and Danny Glover's roles are completely superfluous. It would have been better to make a real mystery out of Rachel's character (with many names) disappearance, instead of what we are presented with. Maybe the screen writer should have dwelled more on the people that Rachel's character left behind (like her parents and the boyfriend). It might have been more interesting. I watched this on Amazon Prime and was glad I didn't have to pay for it, but what a waste of time!

I can't understand the high ratings. This movie was so boring, uninteresting, stupid, annoying, and utterly ridiculous that I walked out after 30 minutes. I couldn't stand watching it any longer. The Artist/Prisoner section was beyond my comprehension. I think there's nothing funny about this movie. Wes Anderson's Grand Hotel Budapest was 50 times better than this junk. How did he sink so low? What a waste of money, even though I only paid $6.50 for the ticket.

After seeing the previews, I expected more of this movie. First of all, it's too long and some of shot linger on...nice landscapes yes, but what did it contribute to the story? My biggest complaint is: It should have been done in German with English subtitles. Most of the actors were either German or Austrian so it begs the question, why wasn't the script written in German. It's a story of an Austrian. Everyone in Austria speaks German. It took away from the story, and as one other review stated, one could not truly connect to the actors. As authentically the story may have been told, I just could not find any great merit in the film.
