Review of The Loneliest Planet (2012) by Luke E — 12 Aug 2012

"The Loneliest Planet" is about an american couple on holiday in Eastern Europe, Georgia accompanied by a guide they befriend. It started out promsing and intriguing, some parts were very intertesting to the flm's setting and the character's experience in travelling across a vast and unknown terrain.

The acting is very Mediocre, the woman looks a lot like Jessica Chastain but less talented. Its very artistic and visually stunning in cinematography, camerawork and editing that really captures the beauty and resonance.

The script however is very shallow and has minimal dialogue thats very incoherrent, the character development isn't too good either, a lot more could have been done on most story elements which lets the film down a lot.

I found it dragging halfway through and became dissapointed about the film's conclusion. I found it quite saifying but a bit of a let down, this is also the first film at the festival that no one clapped at the end.
