maraki-lost Let me start off by saying that I was really intrigued when I first found out about this film. It took me a while to actually see it because I have over 600 films in my check-in list and by the end of it, I was disappointed.Sure enough, the scenery is breathtaking and there is also a dose of serenity. The beautiful sea, the wonderful house and the two leading actresses were a wonderful start. But according to my opinion, those were not enough for this film to actually score a good rating. First of all, I was dumbfounded when the sex scenes started appearing so early in this film. I thought Naomi Watts and Robin Wright would have kept their relationship with their friend's sons secret until the very end, when we would be able to see their reaction to the revelation. Unfortunately (for me), that was not what actually happened. Both the leading actresses were aware of each other's relationship with the boys which had me wondering what is left to show. My excitement over this film disappeared quickly. Then the plot started becoming more and more predictable, resembling a cheap chick flick. I was not interested in what was going to happen next and I only finished the film so that I could rate it objectively.I really do believe they came up with a wonderful idea for a scenario which could give people food for thought and maybe feel sympathy for those who have been in this situation, instead of just accusing them for immorality but they lost it in the process. The director seemed more focused on the landscape and the surfing that they forgot to profile the four people this film was about.

Kirpianuscus more for the wise end than the story. because, at the first sigh, it is a summer film. the story seems be not original. the performances are decent, the story - eccentric but, basically credible.. but the science to use the tension is the secret to have the status of different film about forbidden love. and that detail is the piece who transforms the film in support for the questions about family, relation mother - son, essence of love, right and bad choices. a film who does a good job. for the fine manner to present a delicate case. for the gentle-precise science to explore the detail. for the dialogs. and, sure, for the ambiguous end .

dc-43 I saw that this had won a couple of awards. It also stars Naomi Watts who is one of my favourite actresses.The chemistry in the love stories just wasn't there. The story just seemed too contrived and far fetched. It was one of those movies that I just wanted to be over. Towards the end it did get a little more interesting but then had an unsatisfying ending.Also Naomi is starting to show her age.Were there any good points? The scenery was excellent and I did enjoy listening to all of those Aussie accents. It makes you appreciate that Australian actors have to put on American accents for most of their Hollywood films.

bbickley13-921-58664 I'll be blunt. I had to see the film after I saw it on someone's most controversial movies list. The premise of two moms sleeping with each other's sons, especially when one of those moms is Naomi Watts, who I could not wait to see play hot MILF, was so appealing to me that I put it on top of my to watch list.But from the poster, I assumed they were two woman who happen to be vacationing in the same place and just so happen to start sleeping with the other one's offspring. Instead it's a story of two women who not only knew each other all their lives, they also knew each other's sons since they were children. Sorry, but my open mind started to close after that came to light in the first five minutes.It may seem sexist, but I can't help to think this guilty pleasure would not have gotten made if it was two dads getting it on with their best friend smoking hot, barely legal daughter. Seems like a double standard as you could at best make a comedy about it rather than the steaming Romantic outing this movie is.It does not help that Robin Wright plays the other mom. It may just be her haircut that gives me the impression of a liberated woman who would defend her characters mid-life crisis, despite the fact that all I see going on here is a male fantasy for those under the age of twenty four.But you'll have to excuse my rant as the movie is actually genus. It helps that they got such fine actors as Watts & Wright to play the lead roles. Any thing less would have made this no better than a a late night romp on skinemax.The filmmakers handle the subject matter with poise and respect. Sometimes a little over melodramatic to prove this point in this twisted version of how Stella got her grove back, especially considering that the boy they got to play Wright's love interest could have been better cast as her son. Overall...this movie got weirder the more further it went down the rabbit hole, but the stranger it got the more I loved it, even the times I almost vomited in my mouth. It shows a great depth in the relationship between the four that was just too well done.Definitely worth talking about.
