Review of Heaven (1987) by Daisy M — 03 Sep 2010

Directed by Tom Tykwer, Heaven was surely another more of Blanchett's great pieces of work. Visual it was stunning and the screenplay was hard to beat. Blanchett and Ribisi had a perfect chemistry and the storyline was there from the beginning, even though it started a little slow paced.

The last half hour wasn't that dramatic as the first half, but it showed why, they were busy forming their connections. The concerned of being caught was there, but personally I was more interested in seeing them discover their love despite the stressful circumstance they were in.

I was not familiar with Tykwer movies, but this one had all the elements of a basic thriller making it deep, uplifting and with unexpected twist.
