Look, I don't review movies because I'm a little too blunt, but, since there was nothing here, i decided to throw one out there. Even though I went to film school and worked in Hollywood, I am not a "Reviewer".
This movie's plot is very weak and the story telling of it is all over the place. I ended up following one story line, only to have it end without explanation. Ultimately, I hung on only to see if something paid off, only to have it plod along, A to B to C to D, then end abruptly. Even the big ending, mother and daughter finally meeting each other, was two women staring and gazing into each other's eyes. Really, after 50+ years that's it? What about the house, what about the Gold?
Charlotte Rampling looked great, as did Sophie Lowe, even though she came off as creepy. Willie played an old man, no stretch there.
Visually this is hard to watch. They cranked up the yellow and greens, while removing contrast, leaving everything washed out. I don't know if the yellowing was supposed to convey age but it didn't work.
You know the movie. The one where it looks like it might be going somewhere new, so you sit and wait for something to reach out, only to have it end. Then you stare at the screen and say "what the hell was that?", and you feel you would have been better off not watching it.
