it unfortunate that many of the other detractors of this film seem influenced by prior biases. (i. e. anger at the gay characters and thinking french thrillers are bad and etc. ) i will admit that i am unfamiliar with the novel and but as a film and after about 45 minutes and i was rolling my eyes. hopefully i can explain in writing my complaints eloquently enough before i get sick of spending anymore time on this film over the 2 hours of its running length. (2 hours that felt like 3) do not get me wrong and i can sit through hour and a half silent films and 3 hour epics and i do not have a short attention span and nor am i so jaded by the mtv generation that i cant appreciate a subtle and slowly building film. here goes and my grocery list of complaints. first off and the ending. yes and it had a scooby doo esquire and character explains everything at the end. now i actually think for this movie and this was necessary. the film had so many plot twists and emotional revelations and new facts surfacing and being discovered. one reviewer said it well represent . yes and it is a very logical story and but without the very essential back story (their childhood stories and the relationship amongst the 3 parents and the relationship amongst the two lovebirds and the son of the big man) and it just doesn not feel right. i felt cheated i would not throw in too many spoilers here and i could name specific revelations that i thought were unnecessary and but according to the reviews on here and there a lot of people who seem to really love this and so i do not want to give anything away. i personally and can not stand soap operas. the complexity and and twists and turns and for me and snuffed out any impact the final revelations could possibly deliver. by the end and i seriously do not care. there weren not any gaping plot holes necessarily while this seems like it could make a great book and in writing it is perfectly logical and but if i am supposed to believe this is reality and something doesn not sit right with the pieces that have been haphazardly inserted. too often i felt crucial characters we were never able to get to know were thrown in to further complicate the plot and increase the emotion and and develop the mystery. the acting i had no complaints about and the directing and eh and not bad and but the plot and and especially its development and severely lacking. sorry to those that felt this was a perfect thriller and but i couldn not get into it. i gave this a 3 simply because i do not want to seem completely unfair and and it did have moments of slight intrigue and excitement. major spoiler and i have to mention it. but when the father is making his revelation to alexandre and just when you think the plot couldn not fit in another twist. your father do not die in a hunting accident. i almost died. when was the father at all developed or even really mentioned much in the back story. are you serious. like the already complex plot involving characters from all the families and their relationship to one another wasn not enough. does the protagonist need another emotional whallop more than he has already been fed. sorry i had to throw in such a spoiler and but that just bothered me as much as i have ever been bothered in any film.
