This is easily one of the most obnoxious and worst movies of 2015. The only reason I watched this is because I was interested in seeing Juliette Binoche speaking english. BIG MISTAKE!

Juliette Binoche's performance is one of few good parts of this movie. Unfortunately, Kristen Stewart was an extremely prominent role in this movie. I went into this movie with an open mind hoping she might at least put in a good performance. NOPE. I did believe a sigle word she said. There was no point for me to completely believe in her performance whatsoever. STOP MUMBLING EVER SINGLE SCENE! It wasn't even done for the sake of comedy there was zero self-awareness.

Chloë is also in the movie. Not that much, but she's a very important character. And the character she plays is supposed to be a bratty mix between Lindsay Lohan and Miley Cyrus. And the interviews to show how crazy the character is has laugh tracks that were edited in horribly. The ques were so unnatural and they would react to things before they would even happen.

They then did a spoof of superhero films to kind of parody the genre and what I saw was SO embarrassing. All they did was paint the background white and dye the characters hair funny colors. What we are shown on screen is what some bad film student with 900 dollars could make. Yet, the main characters go to see this movie in theatres, and it's played off as some typical hollywood movie that would be generally well-received with 3-D glasses. And not like a terrible movie. It's like this director has no perception of reality.

There are other scenes where they talk about action movies and say "It's such an inferior genre". Well, if it's inferior and you suck at it, what does that make you? I have my own gripes and criticisms with superhero films, but you're seriously pretending that you pretentious movie isn't a million times worse? What are you criticising about that genre that can't be applied to your movie?

Your plot is contrived and non-sensical. The majority of the acting sucks. And, you're no where near skilled enough to imitate the genre you say is terrible. You have basically made a movie where you are worse than terrible. Also, The editing absolutely sucked.

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE!!

**The actors and their generation difference, evolution of cinema and the beauty of nature.**

This is about a middle aged actress who spends in the Swiss Alps with her personal assistant while preparing for the upcoming project. During that time, she receives a news that the author of the book which was adapted for the screen 20 years ago where she play a main role and now in its remake, she's doing another part, while a young sensation playing the main part. This is more like the evolution of cinema. The 20 years is too soon for her, while the cinema and its trend advanced rapidly. Precisely to say, the commercial films and young actors taking over the art films and true artists' places respectively.

If you at least 30 years old, you would get this film more than others. Because while I was growing up in the 90s, the cinema was so different. I'm not talking about the technology like computer graphics, but the story and how it was narrated for the screen. Now the science- fiction and dystopian themes taking over with the young audience and social media support. I think it was a quite meaningful film, particularly if you adore films like the recent evolution in cinema was so faster than ever.

The negatives were, the film was too long, slow pace and too simple drama. The positives were, the actors and their performances, the locations, theme and some of the dialogues. Directed by a French filmmaker, this is an international project with a few guest appearances. Most of the film was set in the Alps. Totally different than what I was anticipating, but I still like, except in a few parts where I got bored for its weak development. So this is for the selected audience, that mean it will be appreciated by a very few and I'm kind of neutral with mostly in its favour.

_6/10_

On the way to accept an award from the playwright that discovered her - the very same man who suddenly passes away before the ceremony - acclaimed actress, Maria Enders, is forced to reconcile both her age and her role in contemporary art. While rehearsing for a role, of which she has no choice taking due to her age, she has to reckon with the young actress playing her old role.

This is a slow-paced movie, that is, it takes its time revealing the deteriorating confidence of an aging actress. What accentuates her strife are the locations: the lonesome mountains, long winding roads, both straddled by rolling, ground-smothering fog and clouds. Great lingering shots and cinematography eases the eye, as Maria rehearses and incrementally loses her mind with her young assistant, Valentine. Although her assistant attempts to defend what her boss deems as insufficient art (or cinema) and unprofessional (particularly the young costar of the upcoming play), Maria threshes with the stifling fact that her roles - both her role in the play and in the world of art - are changing without her control or consideration.

The acting in this film is commendable, with a solid performance from Juliette Binoche (as always) and a surprising effort from Kristen Stewart. These two carry the movie with palpable chemistry - so much so that every turn in their relationship dictates not only the environment of the film, but also the audience.

This film is for the patient, and for those who don't mind huge questions.
