Cloudburst (2011)
9/10
Beautiful movie, until the ending
13 August 2015
Warning: Spoilers
*No spoilers until the end of the review* (no explicit spoilers in the end either, but you can easily guess what it's about)

Two elderly lesbians, Stella and Dotty, on a road trip to Canada to get married. On their way they pick up a hitchhiker, Prentice.

Cloudburst is a beautiful and funny movie with great pacing and good actors. I liked the characters and their stories, they were funny and interesting and each character brings their own personality and complexity into the movie. The one thing I disliked about this movie is the ending, on which I elaborate below.

All in all, definitely worth watching.

***spoilers (not explicit)***

The ending could have been better. I don't have a problem with sad or tragic endings, but it was absolutely unnecessary here. It didn't add emotional depth or anything good into the movie. It could have just as easily ended happily and it would have been just as great if not better.

Boys (2014 TV Movie)
8/10
Great film, but could be longer and more elaborated
20 January 2015
This review is not going to contain spoilers. It was a very nice film. Family relationships, love, denial, hurt. All of it was in this movie. It really made me care for the characters and their stories, it kept me interested, sometimes even on the edge of my seat, up to the last seconds of it. The one main disadvantage i found was it was not fully elaborated in my opinion. I think the film had much more potential, if only it were longer and more developed. As I finished watching, I felt that many things could have been more elaborated and developed, stories and characters in the movie did not reach their full potential. I felt that many important things stayed undeveloped, under the surface and between the lines.

Now, the ending - (no spoilers) it felt somewhat forced and rushed to me. Although I was more or less pleased with it, I didn't feel that there was a proper closure to the movie.

All in all, it was a very nice movie, although not providing proper closure to several things.

Hawaii (I) (2013)
3/10
Wasn't worth the time
10 January 2015
I watched the trailer and it was a little odd, but the score and reviews were very good so I decided to watch it. Honestly, in my opinion, it wasn't good at all. It was very long and tedious to watch. Every shot was very long for no apparent reason. There was very little dialogue and many pointless shots. The plot and character development was very slow. You can easily skip about half an hour or more in the middle, and things will remain unchanged. The only moderately interesting things happened in the last 20 minutes or so. In addition, I often found the characters' behaviour odd and unexplained. To conclude, I wouldn't recommend it and I didn't enjoy it.
