    Meh, I don't mind slow or mundane movies, but this movie had almost nothing interesting going on it for me to enjoy it. Characters were meh, story was meh, scenes for meh, pretty much the only highlight was the setting.

    Not what I was expecting at all, not too many moving parts in this movie, clever. Less is more with this movie. Definitely have to watch it through, it resolves the main character who may have seemed a little uncomfortable from the beginning.

    In several of Tim Roth's recent appearances you feel like sticking a pin up his backside to see if he is capable of actual communication at any level - even a yelp. And this is no exception. (With the exception of Reservoir Dogs - where you wish he'd shut up and die already!!). It really is most frustrating - okay, the audience is supposed to 'feel' everything he is going through, but film media does have to include a modicum of actually EXPRESSED feelings. By the by, it would seem to me far more reasonable that he was holiday with his wife and children, rather than his sister and her children. That would explain the hatred the children felt for the father who had abandoned them and their mother. Anyway, having said all that, it is worth seeing.

    Odd and slow pacing, but overall good movie Tim Roth was perfect for the role.

    Closest thing to legal euthanasia, imagine Sylvia Plath wrote the hangover and you directed it, was of LIFE

    Little plot or dialogue, but there the direction and acting -- especially Mr. Roth -- somehow engages you. That said, the plot twist in the final quarter feels like too easy a way out, and it delegitimizes much of what you have seen previously. Otherwise, the dark ending fits, even if it is existentially difficult to watch/process, that honest pain of the human condition does resonate.

    I watch a ton of movies and overall this was pretty good. In the beginning I was not sure if the lady he was with was his wife or sister? Was I the only one? Even after the mom died I still was not sure if he was cheating on her with the new gal he met on the island. Then when she came back to have him sign the legal papers I was like oh that is his sister. I give this movie a C+, glad I watched it.

    Fantastic film! Only a person, who watched someone die can understand this loneliness, this complete indifference to last transitional housing, this slow disappearance. Will watch more by this director.
