Review of Men, Women & Children (2014) by Travisfinn — 08 Oct 2014
I absolutely loved this film - gorgeous cinematography, amazing interconnected story and characters put flawlessly, and just soul in where something should be soulless. I had my own doubts before I saw this movie, and how most likely it would be shallow and only focus on dumb sex of adults and teens and not actually have a detailed storyline.
Completely wrong. Adam Sandler brings his most quiet acting to this film, and it works almost perfectly. Ansel Elgort and Kaitlyn Delver's performance and chemistry on screen is subtle yet so beautiful and aimless.
Every characters felt real - and each one is given their own time to shine and show emotion. These scenes of everyday modern life, cut with scenes of a universal satellite alone in space and a single picture of the lone earth.
.. merely a speck in space. However, no matter how we might see ourselves as only microscopic dust in the large galaxy, we are humans. And our human life matters. And that's why this film defies all stereotypes and brings a beautiful nuance.
It lives.
