NEWPDQ Really bad. Pretentious. Clunky. Nonsensical. Poorly scripted. Felt sorry for the actors (most of them anyway). This is the kind of thing they did well in the 1960s - films full of brooding menace and sexual tension that used to air on BBC2 on Sunday nights. This was just a mash-up of bad psychoanalytical babble that made you wish you were thirty years younger and had you yearning for the first time you saw something like this that wasn't a pile of badly highly strung jibber jabber. Toni Collette - why! Patrick Malahide - why! David Threlfall - why! Eddie Redmayne - well, maybe not Eddie Redmayne. I knew it was going to stiff after the first major scene when our Ed goes on about the Cathars. Coincidentally (or not... spooky...) the last film I saw with Ed in when I made the mistake of staying up late to watch it on TV (you never know, the next Unman, Wittering & Zigo may just be around the corner, you have to kiss a lot of frogs...)was about...the Cathars. Are all his films about the Cathars?
Bene Cumb Private school limits, stuffy atmosphere, secret societies, generation issues - when all combined, you could create a plot similar to Like Minds' one. It is all interesting to watch in the beginning, but the more the events develop the more crazy and "jobbish" they become. Luckily to me, all the bad events really took place - I am not into films when something is twisted in someone' s mind and imagination.The cast is strong and all the main stars are great: Toni Collette as Sally Rowe, Eddie Redmayne as Alex Forbes and Tom Sturridge as Nigel Colbie. Ms Collette is a real gifted star, but the two young males are worth remembering as well as their prior and later performances have demonstrated their talents.In short, Like Minds is quite OK, but it is still no e.g. Usual Suspects. Could be interesting for younger audiences though (hopefully not as an example).
Saad Khan LIKE MINDS – CATCH IT ( B ) I love movies like "LIKE MINDS" somehow it always fascinates me. Like Minds is nothing unusual and most of the time we have seen movies like that where what ever you see is not what it is! The thing I loved about Like Minds is obviously touching the Gestate Theory and mixing it up with Christ History. It makes the movie more captivating and riveting. Nonetheless, the movie is well made and story is exhilarating and the Ending left me Google and reversing the entire movie yet there were some things director could have shown in the end to tell us what was real and what was Not! Usually in the movies like that they show in the end What exactly happened and How exactly everything happened, but it didn't happened in Like Minds. If they would have shot that, then it would have been a memorable experience. Eddie Redmayne is stunningly captivating and his performance got my grip from beginning till end. Tom Sturridge is another captivating Brit Lad, gorgeous as Hell & actor with lot of dept. I love, I would say the sexual tension between Eddie Redmayne and Tom Sturridge, both compliment each other Extremely well. Toni Collette is good as always, she didn't have much material to play with. Overall, an enjoyable, thought provoking movie, few glitches here and there but still Enjoyable. Watch it for SexXxy Talented Brit Lads "Eddie Redmayne" and "Tom Sturridge",
sergepesic " Murderous Intent" is, at least to this viewer, confusing and frustrating movie. The uneasy mix of thriller and horror, lacks the necessary ingredients of both to fully belong to either camp. The atmosphere of the whole set-up seems forced and contrived, like a staged version of the unfinished play.The characters are wavering, being neither here nor there, and, as it seems,false feeling of promise abandons us completely by the end of this movie. One of the most exciting actresses of today, Toni Collette has almost nothing to do in this film. She seems as incapable to figure out what is going on in this story as most of the viewers.
