The man from uncle.
Couldn't get in to it at all, normally a big fan of Guy Richie's directorial.
Seemed to be too much style over substance, the style being not all that great, couldn't connect to the characters or the plot.
Strange how it rates quite highly, been looking forward to watching it for a while.
Odd.

Agree the film lacked a story and decent characters...I was bored.
Thought exactly the same to be honest, the only word I could use is loveless.
Caporegime
Testament of Youth
What stood out in this movie is Alicia Vikander's performance. She is in practically every scene and in every scene her torment of despair and suffering and sadness comes through. I didn't really care about all the other characters but what she went through really hits you and you suffer with her in her journey.
8/10
Along with Ex Machina, The Danish Girl, her role in Anna Karenina, I think she is going to go very very far in this business and an Oscar won't be far away.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
Passed on this when it first came out and just took an opportunity to watch it.
Quality film really enjoyed it 8.5/10
Super storyline and cast: Oldman ,Hardy, Cumberbatch, Firth
Particularly rated the 70's period feel to this film which was delivered to a tee.

I quite liked it. Although at times it did leave me wanting a Stella Artois, and I don't even drink Stella.
I tried to watch it too, got so bored that I didn't finish it. I didn't give a damn about any of the characters.
We agree on a film!!
It's a miracle!!
His girlfriend in the movie is his wife.
Lucky KB !!
I use this thread as a guide to whats worth watching and whats not. I don't always agree with posters recommendations but on the whole most are fairly accurate.
i saw the post re "The Woodsman" and that was it..
+1
Yeah...I'm just a bit off with the subject matter...
Rooting for a pedophile ? Not interested.
I'm sure its Brave and brilliant and Bacon is great...But he was a convicted child offender and served 12 years... **** him.
Was it the Directors intention to manipulate? probably...Does it skim over what he did? Probably?

Movies have been made about many awful things, doesn't mean they can't be good movies, and it doesn't mean that you are not able to sympathise with someone, no matter their history, if a story is well told.
You are hardly the only one who hates paedophilia, but that doesn't mean this can't be a worthwhile tale.

As remakes go this is a good one. I found Hailee Steinfeld's performance to be very accomplished given her age.
Also +1 here for The Woodsman. Excellent film.
