Strangerland (2015)

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

That was an excellent one.

Perfectly adorable

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

One has to stick with this film. The tension builds layer by layer till one is holding one's whole body tight. Why? There's no big bang or surprise but one just get's caught up with the reality and the hurt of it: and one hopes. The acting is superb from all the performers and Nicole and Joseph come through with perfect pitch. Truly talented professionals.

A family finds their dull life in a rural outback town rocked after their two teenage children disappear into the desert, sparking disturbing rumors of their past. As far as acting goes Nicole Kidman, Joseph Fiennes and Hugo Weaving are really good unfortunately the script and the plot aren't and here is how the director explains the character of Catherine and it's characters in regular: "People also sexualize stress, grief, loneliness, anger, longing, fear… we deal with crisis in many different ways… and sex is just one of them that we address in "Strangerland." This movie has one of the most awkward sex scenes i have ever seen between Kidman and Fiennes that comes out very weird also the first time Rae (Weaving) we basically see him having sex with this woman and later Kidman tries to seduce both him and and this kid Burtie and although one of the kids does get found the other one we as an audience we never learn what happens if you see movies such as Prisoners or Taken about child kidnapping you will see how perfectly they work in here both parents are insane that in times remember that their kids were missing. Sure the acting, the pacing and the locations are fine but that can't save a troubled script with a plot and characters that make zero sense. I'll give Strangerland a 6.1/10

This film tells the story of a family that moves to a small town to escape from a dark past. Unfortunately their children goes missing, and in the search, it seems everyone has something to hide."Strangerland" depicts a mother who is in much distraught over the disappearance of her children. Nicole Kidman is very convincing as a very distressed mother, I empathise with her and feel so sorry for her pain and loss. The father, on the other hand, has a different approach to the circumstances, creating a stark contrast. The hunt for the missing children is long and less than fruitful, engaging me and making me hope for something good would happen soon. I think it's a heavy film with a heartbreaking and depressing story.

The story moves very slowly.The characters are irritating, but not in a way that gets us somewhere.The overall plot is not in any fashion fulfilling.Someone said that the cinematography and the acting were good.Whatever.There needs to be a story worth watching as well.This lacks that.Who knows. If you have some other motive that wanting an interesting story for watching this maybe you'll like it.I didn't.My recommendation: watch something else.
