Review of Rust and Bone (2012) by Jimboesq — 21 Dec 2012
I was going to review this movie in detail-but then I read "lasttimeisaw" thorough review herein and thought: why stay up for the next hour over-analyzing when its done done so well already? Read that review.
I will add this: this is a film well worth seeing for its brutal honesty and belief in redemption. I give it a solid 8 for Cotillard's great performance alone.I agree that there is a significant schism in Ali's character-usually men that tough are either very tender with women and children-or they are nuts with everyone-and the director perhaps too cleverly tries to portray Ali as tender with her and too harsh with his son-but its not a fatal flaw.
Anyone who watches a Hollywood movie and enjoys them waives the right to even mention the issue in this film.Meanwhile, this is a "romantic" film a guy can take his girl to see and love.
