It wasn\’t that bad. The last part could have been dropped. Fine acting throughout, and as for scenes continuing after the actors have left, you might not realise this but film is a visual medium.

So happy for Brady Corbet and Mona Fastvold. In his acceptance speech for Best Director, Corbet said he\’d been working on this film for ten years, so to see the culmination of his dream with Best Debut Film and him to win Best Director was I\’m sure beyond his imagining. It\’s a wonderful inspiration for young filmmakers, and I would also like to see an interview with him here. And a nod to Pattinson, who is not afraid to work with a first time director (and who\’s participation probably helped secure the financing to get the film made). He doesn\’t just talk the talk, he walks the walk, and that\’s admirable.

@Tali,kstew stans are mostly intrested in trashing Rob\’s curent GF on gossip sites.Anyway,TCOAL won 2 awards at the Venice FF for a debut and for the best directing Horizons Award.Congratulations,pity that reviewers especially from other movie outlets can\’t appreciate a good movie directed by a young,talented director.What about an interview with Brady Corbet?

I think it\’s the realization that Rpatz is barely in it.

How nice to see a calm comment section. I suppose the Robert Pattinson fans are too busy spewing their hatred on the articles pertaining to his ex though. This sounds like an intriguing film. Best of luck to Brady Corbet and co.

The child looks like he gives a fantastic performance in the clips, I\’m still interested in seeing this grand experiment and happy that young filmmakers like Corbet and Fastvold are getting the chance to realize their dreams. It\’s funny you mention the lingering shots after a character has left the frame — that drove me nuts in Scorsese\’s New York, New York. There must be at least ten minutes of footage of walls and hallways after the characters have left the frame in that already overly-long movie.

Interesting how mixed the review are. Cine Vue gave the film 5/5 stars, Empire calles it a masterpiece and together with other critics they thought it was he best film in Venice thus far. It shows once again how different perception can be.

Have read mixed reviews, but most indicating it is a brave piece. Perhaps a bit to thought provoking for some as good cinema often is –

By: Gracias por la Review. Espero que el público tenga la oportunidad de verla. Me encantan las películas con historia y esta parece que tiene mucho que ofrecer.
