Bedrooms (2010)
Bedrooms tells a story about the walls that separate people, the heartbreak and infidelity that's often the result and the redemption that comes from tearing those walls down. The film is told in 4 stories by 3 filmmakers. Three of the stories deal with married couples of various ages confronting the turning points of their relationships. A fourth story is interwoven throughout, providing bookends and context in the form of a story about ten year old twins, who, tired of sharing their bedroom set out to build a wall between their beds to create their own spaces. In building the wall to separate, they come to fully appreciate all things that connect them. Bedrooms explores human relationships, their myriad complications and the daily choice we face to either make them work or to move on.

Some things I liked some I did not.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
I wouldn't recommend this film simply because it has no real plot. I expected to get something out of watching this film, maybe even a different take on life. The trailer doesn't look to bad. I think I can see what the writers wanted to portray. But it's done very poorly. If you think about it there is a decent plot somewhere and a decent message. But it honestly is done so poorly. If you watch this film you will gain nothing from it. There seems to very diverse characters which is what interested me in the first place. But we know so little about the characters and even as the film goes on, I couldn't help but feel more confused. I didn't even know what the characters motives were. Overall it's just a confusing film and at the end you just don't care. You don't even want to know.
...was not particularly successful, IMO, at resolving the very issues it raised. Few of the characters, with the exception of the 2 children, were particularly likable. As a result, it was difficult to empathize with their predicaments. And any time that happens, the message of the film tends to get lost. It's usually NOT a good thing to be hating on the main characters to such an extent that, at some point, you just say: "Who cares? Do whatever you want. It's not worth spending any more of my time watching your miserable, wretched, whiny existences any longer". And that's pretty much what happened to me at the 2/3 mark of this film. (And it went for pretty much ALL the main characters, with the exception of the kids.)Maybe if one watches this film and is able to see the characters in a different light; or is able to draw different conclusions than those drawn by the characters in the film itself, then one could enjoy this movie more than I was able to. But as it stands, for me, this is a classic example of a film that had a lot of potential, but was not able to maximize that potential to any significant degree. About the only thing that I concluded from having watched Bedrooms is: "Love Hurts". And I could have gotten that from listening to Boudleaux Bryant's song -- sung by either The Everly Brothers, Nazareth, or Emylou Harris -- while saving myself around an hour and a half.
