I could watch Guy Pearce in anything but didn't finish this. Director kept us from involvement with characters by intrusive camerawork and faltering conversations.

The movie is fascinating in many different ways. Precious cinematography and visuals, with a soothing and beautiful soundtrack that rhymes with the ascending plot and the musical nature of the movie. My only problem with the film is emotional, the concept and the relationship between both main characters seems gross to me. For the first time in my life I'm not feeling any sympathy for the main characters, personally I hate the way they were behaving or maybe worse I do hate the main characters. Maybe this adds some reality to the film. They didn't force the viewer to like the affair, the movie is just like a real life situation and a person's feeling towards the concept or the idea determines whether they accept the film or not.

If your are looking for a great love story then you will only end up doubting love or rather should I say, "men". If you still want to watch this because you adore Felicity Jones or you admire Guy Pierce's talent, then go ahead watch it. Warning!!! There are spoilers below:Okay, so this is how I felt after watching this film. The guy you are marrying now out of love may end up running away with your daughter's aged girl...I mean WOW! Seriously, it made me cringe in disgust, that's how the two good actors looked together. Only teenage girls who are into older men and dads who are into daughter's aged girls will find this sort of story fascinating. I wonder if this film tried to encourage that.I watch movies to escape reality, not to be reminded about the ugly and disgusting truths of it.

I will keep this short and sweet before I burst into tears. Watch the film. Acting 10/10 (oh my god I love Felicity Jones). Directing 10/10 I found the pacing incredible and the story told like mother used to read at bedtime. Tension 10/10 gets it's own rating because there is about half an hour speech in total, the film is carried mostly by the ability to read emotions from the characters faces and knowing exactly what you would be thinking in those situations. This film requires an awful lot of empathy.There is nothing I want to say about it that cannot in some way ruin the experience. It is not a film it is an experience. Half an hour has passed since I watched the credits roll, I'm still shaking, and I still can't think straight. This film got into me through personal cracks when it forced me to empathize with the fissures between the characters, forced me to seek them out using an empathic intuition I try to keep shielded at all times. But lo and behold it snook under my shield and just when I thought it was about to lift my helmet and kiss me, I instead received a disjointing uppercut. I still don't know if I found the characters to be inspiringly strong, or if I'm distraught at their weakness. But then aren't we all weak in the face of love? Love is something that creeps under your shield while you're focused on something else, before you know it you can be looking into love's eyes whilst she strokes your cheek and closes her eyes as you both depart from this dimension and float through infinity. Or she can sucker punch you and walk away laughing. I won't tell you which ending you get but you'll know from the start which ending the characters need, but by the end you'll either be dazed from a sweet kiss, or a sour uppercut.
