That Beautiful Somewhere Audience Reviews

Steineded How sad is this?
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
blackdogdancer I am always worried when I see a movie that is going to depict what life is like for people with chronic migraine. Most of the time it is represented in a terrible and false way that does some harm to those of us that struggle with severe pain. This movie showed migraine in the most truthful way I have ever seen. It was hard for me to watch it at times, because it was so familiar. Besides being a beautiful looking movie, and having such good actors - I really want to applaud the honesty of the film - even though it was a supernatural story in some ways. It is a great movie. Thank you for making this, and for being so truthful about this condition.
rowmorg I'm still giving it an above average score because the two lead actors were watchable (if not always comprehensible) and the location film-making was good. Roy Dupuis told CTV he took the role because the script was well-written. There I would have to disagree: the basic idea that a police detective would stick around after his "murder" victim turned out to date from 200 years ago is too silly for grown-ups. The director evidently had to dub in someone saying off-screen "It's still a murder investigation", presumably as a result of complaints in post-production. Even Dupuis as the detective looked confused and out of place when he heard the news from his lady archaeologist (McGregor). He was obviously thinking: why aren't I driving back to HQ and getting on with the next case like a real cop? Trouble is, this is not a conventional detective movie: the archaeologist is taking over and she is leading them both on a very queer investigation into ancient "healing" techniques which apparently are not even authentic. That's just as well, because if anyone ever attempted to use the method described here they would probably spend many years in prison. It's more appropriate in the hands of CIA torturers, called "waterboarding". I'd like to see Jane McGregor in a less neurasthenic role, and I'd like Dupuis to avoid phony roles like this in future, because he seems like a really good guy and deserves a lot better for turning down the big US dollars and staying in his beloved Canada. I'd like to send this note to the screenwriter/director Robert Budreau: try not to use flashbacks in your pictures. Try very hard, because they are extremely hard to handle, breaking the narrative pace and interrupting the character development. They are nearly always an ego-trip imposed by the screenwriter/director --- and who is that? It's you, Mr Budreau! Just one more thing: why doesn't Ms. McGregor hire a publicity agent? It's impossible to find a biography of her on the internet. For an actor, that's just perverse!
Poolie "That Beautiful Somewhere" is a movie that is very well shot but that's all it has going for it. Unless great cinematography is all you want in a movie or unless you are passionate about half-baked aboriginal myths, forget about this one.You might as well just look at a pretty picture of a swamp for over an hour and half and it will be as exciting as this movie is. The plot is absolutely idiotic bus mostly "That Beautiful Somewhere" is the slowest, most boring I can remember ever seeing. Even the acting, Roy Dupuis excepted, is amateurish. The leading lady's acting is particularly awful and robotic.A total waste of nearly 2 hours of my life!
Elizabeth Pickens World weary detective bogged down by guilt over taking care of mother on life support and psychological wounds from having to kill people while at war meets a beautiful anthropologist struggling with a mysterious illness. They both get involved in solving a mystery around a body discovered in a bog rumored to have curative powers.In my opinion, there were a few editing problems with the movie and the actress, though she had good facial expressions, had some stilted line delivery. However, overall a good film especially with what was to me a surprising ending. I also learned a lot about Indian rituals. This movie was shot in Canada.
