svetlastoyanova What a stupid movie! It feels like it is going on for ages and it goes nowhere. The director, haven't heard of him in my life, I have to say did not such a bad directing, or editing for that matter. The cast was pretty god as well, Jamie Bell outstanding as usual, Chris Owen and Danso Gordon weren't bad at all, but all that could not give the rubbish script any substance or save that disaster of a movie.Clearly there is a moral of the whole story-guns don't kill people, people do, but I bet there was far more interesting way to point that out. A bunch of kids sharing the same love for firearms and exit wounds, playing cowboys pacifists could lead to one thing and one thing only- someone will get killed. It was a bit too violent that they all got shot so mercilessly and pointlessly, putting all that nonsense to an end. How this movie got rating 6.5 I will never know! What a waste of time and money! ...

toc_bat Two nights ago we went to see Dear Wendy, it was such a stupid film, so blatantly obvious was its moral, so forced down my throat and eyes and ears. The characters were so exaggerated and unbelievable, their final action is so ridiculous, I do not believe those characters I had spent one and a half hours with capable of it. Yes it was shot well, yes it looked good and was interesting visually, and again the reviewers managed to see so much more, am i so blind? Made by the same guy who did Dogville, and yet Dogville was so much more subtle in the delivery of its message, so much more believable and possible and hence empathicable, or hence to have empathy with. The option was to go to the next town and see The worlds fastest Indian, which I have seen already and think is very beautiful and moving film, and really wanted to see it as I was down and needed a comforting experience but we would have had to bus it and had not enough time. Dear Wendy actually made me so much more depressed, it really got me down.

Argemaluco Thomas Vinterberg surprised a lot of people(included me)with his second movie called Festen.But,after Festen,he went from making an excellent movie to making a pathetic movie like It's all about love.I had a lot of expectations with Dear Wendy,Vinterberg's most recent film.The plot sounded really good.But Dear Wendy was a very big deception for me.This movie is very pretentious and boring.Lamentably,the movie had good potential because the weapon's theme is very interesting to develop,but on this movie it is developed really bad.Only Bill Pullman's performance on this movie is good,because the other performances are really mediocre.In summary,don't waste your time nor your money on this film.

Helbig "Dear Wendy" is about a group of young losers, who develop strength and backbone from carrying and firing guns. However their proclaimed pacifistic approach to gun control isn't shared with the rest of the small mining community… From the beginning the movie's message is quite clear. Written by USA critic Lars Von Trier, the movie conveys a negative opinion of American gun laws. Regrettably this message precedes the credibility of the movie's plot and characters. No matter how hard the actors struggle, they remain mere stage props.None of the actors are major stars. Best known is probably Bill Pullman who some will remember from "Independence Day" and "Lost Highway". However all roles are cast fittingly and the performances are satisfactory.Another point of criticism is the constant voice-over that explains everything you're watching. The voice-over is reasonably justified; still the best scenes in the movie are the few that are allowed to stand on their own.The splendid pale pictures are done by Anthony Dod Mantle, who worked on both Thomas Vinterberg and Lars Von Trier's latest movies ("It's All About Love" and "Dogville"). Sadly this excellent cinematography is the best part of the movie."Dear Wendy" touches an interesting and relevant topic. Still that doesn't make the movie an artistic success. It's more like pretty propaganda.
