Review of The Orphanage (2007) by Serge L — 08 Dec 2018
A very good film. Not scary at all but a very very nice plot that turns out to be wholesome at the end (a happy ending). Its the blueprint of parents having their child disappear and then desperately searching for them.
Not unique but executed very well. The best thing I like about this movie is that you really have to pay attention or you'll miss stuff thats very important and/or not understand the true meaning of the movie.
Its layered and each layer is very impressive. The acting was very good... a cute kid, a brilliant mother who evokes a lot of empathy, a non-believer dad (as usual) and a great set of side characters.
The fun part is living through the mom's nightmare and trying to gather all the pieces to this emotional puzzle. Pieces are revealed slowly, but this isn't a slow burn.
