I love this movie so much
Please don't spend money on this.
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Don't waste your time. It goes no where. Kept waiting for something to make sense. Nope. Didn't happen.
This movie is an absolute delight for the senses. The cinematography and soundtrack are stunning. There are many jaw-dropping moments where one can't figure out how the lighting could be so gorgeous, and the soundtrack adds a level of beauty that lends tangibility to this profound story of forgiveness and acceptance. If you watch this at home, dim the lights and put the phone on airplane mode, because you don't want to miss a moment of this delicious sensual feast. If you are fortunate enough to be able to see it in 3D on the big screen, bring along your favorite loved one and share the experience.Did I forget to mention the director? Anyone who has followed the cinema of Wim Wenders knows of his unique ability to conjure a magic like no other. It's like looking through a window of his eyes, noticing the things only he sees, the feelings he only he senses. Obviously, this is not for everyone, and there are expectations of a more traditional form of storytelling for some. But the man is a poet, telling the things that can not be told, showing the things that can not be seen.It seems as though Mr. Wenders has used this magic with each of the actors, as there are many moments when one watches the expression of the mysterious emotions that emerge in this powerful story without a word. A true feather in the cap for James Franco, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Rachel McAdams. They each explore new techniques and territories in their acting, and work wonderfully with each other.
I do not have any idea why so many critics did not love this film. It had my full attention from the beginning of the first shot.I quickly realized that the film was going to use 3D to (dare I say it) add depth to the cinematography. There are no 3D gimmicks used here, nothing flying at your head or giving you a headache - the 3D effect simply makes the imagery that much richer, much as the careful selection of lenses or film stock or any number of other a cinematographer's tools can do. Every aspect of the camera-work is fantastic (says me with a BA and an MFA in photography).I really found it to be engrossing. There are a lot of individual vignettes that are shown separately, without any real transition between some of them but those are intended to be seen as parallel to one another. Other parts transition chronologically; the whole thing (I thought) flowed beautifully in large part because there were so many threads running through and between the various parts of the film. It's very linear, and yet it sometimes isn't.And - James Franco did not annoy me. (I know, that's terrible of me to say) He often does, but this was a solid, mature performance. All of the performances were quite good, really; and they were built on a very good script. And you can tell that the person who put it all together has seeming effortless mastery of his craft. It's a film that's going to unfold in my head for a while yet. See it big if you can.
I had given up expecting anything great from Wim Wenders a long time ago;he still made it in my best five list of directors of all time because of his German films of the seventies, but my enthusiasm had diminished after The state of things-his last masterpiece, in my opinion, up till now-and as times went by he, unfortunately, became a replica of himself, seeming to run after what he one was but ending up with a feeling of an awkward imitation, no matter how beautifully shot his movies always were. So it was a very pleasant surprise to watch in Everything will be fine the Wenders I once adored come back.The film is a lesson in directing, so beautiful, solid, subtle and emotionally rich-it is the only film for years that made me cry-and at the same time it is discreetly under the spell of the personality of the man who once made Alice in the cities and In the passage of time.The trailer I had watched says much about the plot but nothing about the way Wenders drives his actors-unexpectedly excellent, some of them-and the whole movie to a kind of perfection we encounter only in the Great:Antonioni, Polanski, Bergman, and, yes, among others, Wenders himself.This also means that the movie functions perfectly not only aesthetically but transfers feelings and ideas with maximum impact through minimum means.A masterpiece!
