Ugh. I'm bothered by how much I didnt' like this movie, and why. I really wanted to like it. This is a topic that I've dwelt upon (yes! Upon it I dwelt!!) recently, as a girl I'd known as a kid just up and died recently.
It's not like I was expecting answers from this movie. But in terms of the characters we're given and the exploration of the subject, it seemed sort of shallow. And there's a bit at the end, I'll spare you the spoilers, but it seemed really REALLY Hollywood.
The cast is interesting. Damon is good. He's very understated and seems grounded and earnest, which are necessary for his character. The woman who dies and comes back (it was in the trailer, don't get your knickers in a twist) is great. She's really interesting looking and great for the role. The kid in it is good, but really not great. Which is a problem because emotionally, he carries a lot of weight in the point of the film. But it was sort of distracting that he wasn't up to it.
Furthermore, re distractions, the whole film, end to end, is overexposed. It was like they were trying to make it all dark, because the tone of the storytelling is pretty much schmaltzy sentiment, dressed up as a mystery but with its pink slip hanging down about 2". :/
Ennywho... has anyone else seen this? I feel the need to discuss.

I am waiting on Skyline - for the big screen anyway, I am a visual junkie.
