Review of A History of Violence (2005) by Nelson M — 11 Jul 2012
I've seen this film twice now and I still cannot see the hype. I will admit, it is a good film which presents questions regarding violence as well as making a wonderful anti-violence message however it doesn't seem to hold up to the celebration around it.
Now, what I can say is that it doesn't pander to us and at no point is the violence glorified. This film treats us like adults and handles the matter with a maturity not often found in films these days.
I simply wasn't moved by it in ways others were. But I certainly would never stop anyone from watching this brutal, yet poetic, film.
