First of all, I like the scene that Alicia and Devlin hang out after the party. To my surprise, Alicia is the one who asking for a ride alone after they finishing drinking. And it is also very surprise me that Alicia just uses the same cup to drink alcohol after Devlin using it because females are normally less initiative in the real life. There is also an action made by Devlin that he “accidentally” hugs Alicia from her back while he ties a cloth to her, and Alicia does not express any uncomfortable feelings which against Devlin's action. And it is also a clue that Alicia and Devlin will have a romantic relationship in the film. The other things in the film caught my eye is the first kiss between Alicia and Devlin. After they have some drink, they begin to talk about something deep in their life. After they hiking to the top of the mountain, Devlin takes his first step to kiss Alicia, which is a very romantic scene. Most importantly, they have their kiss in a hotel, and the second kiss is even harder than the first one, which show that they are fall in love with each other deeply. There is no doubt that their love is true love because they can fall in love with each other with heart and soul at this tough time. This scene can make the audiences touched. All in all, this is a very great film. I was impressive by the love between Alicia and Devlin in the film, which is very touching. And the director,

Working out conflicts face to face can and cannot make a difference in resolving the problem.“These face-to-face interactions build trust, understanding, and a real sense of a shared mission, and this has made all the difference in the world.” This direct quote from Forbes.com explains how this specific way can improve how the world communicates to each other. Many people will disagree with the previous statement, but it is just one of the basic elements of the social system. Admittedly, not everyone believes in face to face interaction. People can choose whichever side they want to, but people can solve their problems by talking to somebody.

In conclusion, I really enjoyed the film. I have even considered buying the film. Henry Fonda’s role as a dissenting juror in a murder trial slowly manageing to convince the others that the case is not as obviously clear as it seemed in court was supurb. Taking film as a course, made me enjoy the film even more because I paid close attention to the film making aspects also. Filming in one room, for partcality the whole movie was noteablly stressful for the actors, who on screen proformace of yelling

It made really made me think if what the characters are doing morally wrong. Both cops handle justice a different way and no one taught Jake that the world is cruel, and twisted. This eventually causes the climactic intense ending, and will keep your eyes glued to the screen. Although I enjoy this movie there is somethings that could be better. For instance the movie has a slow start. I’m not going to lie, I did skip a bit to the ride along, for it was boring. I also would make a scene more believable, but I digress because if it was the movie wouldn't be able to continue. Overall this movie contained major keys to make it interesting.
The story never followed a consistent plot and I never knew where it was going. I can’t say that’s my favorite story still, but it did leave me on my toes. The use of external sets and locations is present in this film, which gives it an organic original feeling. Lastly, the use of nonprofessional actors was amazing. It felt like we were right there in the community and into Hushpuppy’s mind.
My initial reaction to the film itself was quite positive. Before watching the movie, it wasn’t positive. The story line, when I had read about the topic, seemed repetitive. I didn’t want to hear and see the same things over and over again. I had thought that that was what this movie was going to be. But going and watching the whole thing, and getting to see a different part of the story, was very interesting and I ended up liking it much more than I had thought at first.

Joshua Dudley reviews the movie by saying, “I was swept up in the emotional realism of it all with nothing but grounded performances from the whole cast.” and Jamie East explains, “Manipulative? Maybe a little - but isn’t that a film’s job? To make us feel? This certainly does that.” I agree with
This is a brilliant film in every way possible. The directing, the acting, the screenplay, the sound, everything is of very high quality. The acting is superb and several of the actors
The director's interpretation of the story and his ability to choose actors and direct them to perform adds so much to this film. The humor—though dry and sometimes hard to get—makes this a lighthearted enjoyable
What I enjoyed so much about this film is that the ending was one that the viewers decided on what it meant. In the film, the couple traveling get taken away, but it isn’t clear by who, and it leaves the viewers to come up with their own conclusion. I enjoyed that fact and thought the suspense in the film was the best of the night. All of the other films had suspense, but this film did the best at creating it. It made me actually feel terrified, and it was the only film that made me cover my eyes a bit because of how great it was at building up dread and
The film was never creepy in its phantasmagoric moments, but Assayas’ vision caught my attention from start to finish, especially through the emotional struggles of this seductive woman who also allows herself to be seduced by the forbidden. He had a perfect ally in Stewart who gave an out-of-this-world performance, shaping a character that needs to find how to deal with grief and, at the same time, accept what she can’t control.
It is a movie with beautiful script, remarkable cinematography. Actors of the movie have played a vital role to make a movie more interesting, memorizing. They have shown the feelings of love between the people, and has a perception of realism that most excitement tales lack. Many diverse people of any ages will be enjoying this movie without indistinct anxiety. As a warm story, it is almost heart touching without pleasing in ordinary sentimentality. Huston’s movies are almost adventurous with some message to the audience about the societies issue which is very good to watch to gain some knowledge about the problem going on in the nations.
