Well, who's here? How can you not say “Wow” after watching? It can be both positive and negative, but you can not hide the surprises in your voice, do not try.
Shot beautifully, savory, with taste and soul.
They kill people. Yeah, they like it. But the movie is not just about that!
And call me a romantic, but a love movie. Love is both real and one that never lived a day. On passionate love in cold British conditions. All frank (very few) scenes do not look ridiculous or funny - they are natural and natural.
The acting tandem is insanely beautiful. I would like to note breaking from a cute angelic voice to psychopathic bitch Tina - Alice Lowe. It is wonderful to play grief, guilt, happiness, childishness, madness, fear - this is a teenage girl with a vampire guy to play (well, sorry, I could not resist).
Steve Oram is a great sociopath in the beginning and then... Although they can’t blame him, the film itself is slowly starting to slow down towards the end. The plot is already wagging its tail like the sweetest dog Poppy, not knowing where to go next. Like a comedy, but already a drama, and even murder. So begins all the fuss, giant pencils, tears and dirty words. But love, such as the main characters will endure everything. Or...
A huge plus of the film can be considered camera work: it is so exciting to portray the gloomy, Gothic, unfriendly nature of English places and make my lazy nature want to go on a hike – it’s talent.
Bonus to nature - a musical selection. Fun, drive, melancholy - all in one tea (British, of course).
In the end, we have almost comedy, beautiful and dramatic. And if we start to understand why the heroes did this and not this ... I am afraid no psychologist will help us later.
