Review of Bokeh (2017) by Vds — 05 May 2017

I've noticed in recent years, that Iceland seems to double up a lot as a faraway Sci-Fi location - it gives good planet. But here Iceland is just being Iceland, in all its desolate glory.

That works well, because it's a desolate sort of film. Not a lot of laughs in this one, especially the finale. So if you're looking for a fun Sci-Fi romp, this isn't the film for you. On the other hand, if you want a movie that's about the moment, the nitty-gritty of the characters and their situation, I'd recommend it. Lots of very nice cinematography, not a huge amount of dialogue. It's brief (90 mins), which is just as well, because toward the end I was sort of over Iceland's empty beauty, and I really just wanted something to happen. Then when something did happen, it wasn’t what I wanted. I guess there’s no pleasing some people (me).
