Review of Red Lights (2012) by Tony P — 20 Jun 2012

I enjoyed this movie, but in the end I didn't get it.

I've been wracking by brains since watching it and I still don't understand the motives of one of the characters.

I don't wish to give anything away, so it's not easy for me to convey what I mean.

Let me put it this way: If what is revealed at the end is so, then I can't for the life of me understand why we had to put up with the narrative as it is told anyway?

Perhaps there is a flaw in the direction?

I would have to see it again.

But Robert De Niro is excellent and Cillian Murphy is superb.

Sigourney Weaver takes a bit of a back seat, so she feels a little unused, although there is one emotional scene in which she talks about the death of her young son which she pulls off with heart breaking authenticity.

Yeah, I would recommend it just so you can let me know what you think?
