Review of 45 Years (2015) by Filmcritic1956 — 05 Jan 2016
Are you kidding me? 45 years was about how long this plodding film about two washed up old people felt like it lasted. If the awful pacing wasn't bad enough, the plotting--if you could call it that--was even worse.
This film was based on a short story and it showed--not enough plot there for a feature film. And finally, the conflict between the two characters was left completely unresolved. I guess that's artsy, but if you ask me, it's lazy storytelling, the issues were not explored so it's not surprising they were not resolved.
Was the acting fantastic? Yes sir, but if you put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig.
