Review of The Woman in the Fifth (2011) by Carlos T — 16 Mar 2017
Fundamentally, The Woman in the Fifth brings nothing new to cinema but nonetheless displays the artistic brilliance of director Pawel Pawlikowski. The film centres around Ethan Hawke as a Tom who tries to gain custody of his daughter whilst writing a novel in Paris.
Pawlikowski utilises different motifs to show the inward struggles and compelling emotions the characters deal with. For some, the film can feel rather bland and the last third can feel especially slow.
The Woman in the Fifth overall is an interesting film but it's nothing remarkable.
