45 Years

I think I'm disappointed...

I was looking forward to seeing this film for so long. So long. And maybe I was in the wrong frame of mind to see a film like this but I always think a good film will draw you into the right frame of mind...

Ok, here's what I liked: The cinematography was masterful at conveying meaning. The acting was impressive, incredibly naturalistic but-

I don't know, I think it's just an incredibly dull portrait on old age. The whole film just has this morbid mask over it. I'm not saying every film has to be filled with flowers and roses but, is that what old age is? I don't know if it's just because I personally won't want to live out my last years like that but come on! Not everything has to be about the past.

And I know that's not all what the film is. I understand there is some kind of layer underneath, a study on relationships, but... I just didn't really enjoy it. Or feel anything from it.

In a sentence: Annoyingly, average? It's not even average, I don't know, I just don't think it's my kind of film.
