I went in expecting something a little better
11 December 2015
The story was all over the place at points and left questions unanswered at others. It began to lose my interest because the story felt like it was beginning to drag on near the middle.

The acting was great at points, but sometimes actors, who should have been the focus, were overshadowed by others on screen. This led to some dis conjunction in scenes. Juliette Binoche was amazing as always, Kristen Stewart impressed me, and Chloë Grace Moretz still has some growing to do. There were some great scenes with all of them, but by that time the movie began to bore me.

The cinematography was pretty good. The landscape, night and indoor shots were very nice and eye appealing. There are segments in the movie where they show clouds flowing throughout the mountains and it is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. The movie is worth a watch just to see those segments.

Clouds of Sils Maria was okay. I expected something better with the cast behind it, and I was underwhelmed at the end. My suggestion would be to go into the movie with lower expectations and then you may like it more than I did. This movie isn't for everyone, but people who like great dialogue and character development may love this movie.
