KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

mihaelcheto The movie is one of the greatest I've ever watched because of the closeness to the reality. All the feelings the actors are recreating could happen to anyone and why always it should be with happy ending? It touches so deeply the mind (as many reviewers already described very well) that you cannot not start asking yourself questions; and probably even recognize yourself in a particular role. It goes down to think about: what's the real betrayal? Is it the attraction, the one night sex without feelings or the platonic relationship with your soulmate. Could be both.. But choosing the "right thing" for the society and for the partner, is it always the right thing for you? If not, aren't you cheating to yourself? These are questions which I believe, will never get the right answers for all of us. It's always about the choices we make and if we are able to live with the consequences of them

Radoslav Ivanov I saw this with a friend I had not seen in years, so i was "prepared" to like it. However, unfortunately, I came out of the cinema disappointed. Surprisingly(considering "The Jacket"), the problems were more in the writing than the execution.It is safe, hinging on stereotypes and typecasting. I guess, most of the time we can't expect anything more from a directorial debut.Simply put, we have a film about infidelity - physical vs emotional. Within this frame we have two separate stories as allegories for each type, each involving one piece of a married couple we observe for 2 successive nights. It started by an encouraging "shared" parallel recollection of an evening that potentially could have been the "last night", if Massy was bolder and more willing to explore nonlinear narrative. Instead, we see the "last night" on the following day when the parallel narration starts to rely on contrast. This could have worked a little better if not for the fact that the adultery had no life or chemistry....such an oxymoron.The incongruity continues at the end when Keira is committing to a statement while Massy is not. Out of control.It could have been different if Sam's character went to LA, instead of Philly, on the morning after the "last night."2/5 - Safe

Asia-egal I can't believe the rating of this movie isn't 10/10!! I absolutely loved this movie and highly recommend it ... For one, I didn't get together with a man I loved and shared a long distance relationship with for 3 years so I could totally relate to Joanna in this film hence why I was so moved i guess.. Sometimes people come in your life unexpectedly and some leave an unforgettable mark whereas others are easily forgotten.. This movie taught me that moving on is possible and yet impossible at the same time, but it's OK! In time, all will be OK... You just got to carry on living.. Smiling... And just taking it one day at a time... Love, faith, patience, distance and passion are all summoned to court in this movie for an honest confession... Anyways, I'll stop rattling on and I sincerely hope this movie gets the recognition and rating it very well deserves!

p-stepien The life of a happily married British couple living in New York complicates itself, when freelance journalist Joanna (Keira Knightley) observes building sexual tension between her husband, realtor Michael (Sam Worthington) and project co-worker Laura (Eva Mendes) at a business dinner. Fret with worry Joanna confronts Michael afterwards, fearing infidelity, whilst being certain of her spouse's physical attraction to the beautiful co-employee. After seemingly defusing the issue, Michael leaves on a business trip with Laura, while Joanna meets up with her former French lover Alex (Guillaume Canet), thus testing the limits of their relationship and the feelings between them.Massy Tadjedin's debut feature delves into the subject matter of infidelity, thankfully avoiding the pitfalls of bunny-cooker revenge drama, but unfortunately falling foul to the temptation of mundanity. Albeit well-scripted, well-acted the whole movie drags due to the severe issues of disinterest. Nothing in the characters or the story pulls away from your everyday love affair, casting questions as to the point of filming a realistic portrayal of something as common as unfaithfulness. Motivations are banal, while the phases of breaking the barrriers are well known and probably lived through by the majority of the viewers. Failing to see the point of the movie in general significantly lowers interest in whatever positives may lurk inside, even more so that the cast hardly inspires.Keira Knightley, self-perpetuating significant questions regarding anorexic tendencies, has brief moments of beauty, apart from that functions as a poster warning against eating disorders lacking any charm (irregardless of whether there is any truth to the matter). This at least brings about little doubt as why Sam Worthington's character would have fallen for the decidly more meaty Eva Mendes. However having something to grab seemed insufficient given how uninteresting Laura is, even more so with the forced quirk of her being afraid of making her own decisions. The male cast do a significantly better job, but still fall into the shadows of an uninspired story. Somewhere within this lurked various eternal relationship issues and questions, more or less discussed or hinted throughout, but the total lack of distinguishing script features make them fall into obscurity. The turmoil of marriage is nicely reflected with the temptation, however on a very base unstructured level. Potentially the biggest point of interest: infidelity of body vs infidelity of heart is essentially cut off with the end credits (however with a scene realised with true gusto), all in all delivering a movie that is as common as the subject matter it portrays.Preferred viewing is "Closer", a much more wide reaching and memorable take on the question. More direct and engaging.
