Amour



Amour, 2012. A man cares for his dying wife.

Written & directed by Michael Haneke. Starring Jean-Louis Trintignant & Emmanuelle Riva.

Concept: 3/4 (Good)
Story: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Characters: 3/4 (Good)
Dialog: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Pacing: 0/4 (Terrible). It's not just slow, it's static. Most scenes contain about ten seconds of action and several minutes of waiting for the next scene.
Cinematography: 3/4 (Good)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 4/4 (Great)
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Subjective Rating: 3/10 (Bad, 1/4). I really expected to like this. I love movies about these sorts of characters. But this one didn't do a single thing for me. I was unaffected and bored silly.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.3/4 (Okay)
