Two Friends

Rating:
Summary: amazingly fantastic!
Review: Actually I'm lying. I have to agree with the lone reviewer who gave this movie 1 star.

This movie sucked. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was so Amazon would post it, and unwitting readers (thinking I'd really liked the movie) would read my review, eager to see why I'd liked it, and learn the grisly truth.

I actually didn't even get 30 minutes into this 74 minute movie. It's that bad. Really. I actually was fascinated by how unengaged I was. It was really interesting to me.

You see the only reason I rented this movie was because I'm a big Jane Campion fan. The Piano, Portrait of a Lady, Holy Smoke - all intresting movies. But man, whew, this one's a stinker.

Stay away. To quote the other reviewer who was dead on about this movie, "YAWN!"

Summary: Incredibly moving and challenging
Review: I find the other reviews about this movie sad and frustrating. Especially the reviewer who did not even finish the movie. The story is about two teenage girls told in reverse-highlighting the points where there lives take positive and negative directions. It is one of the most realistic teenage movies I have ever seen. The movie can be confusing because time is jumping backwards, but that is exactly what makes the experience so emotional.
You actually see where a life went wrong.

Go watch most major american movies if you want predictable unrealisticly dramatic, LINEAR. Otherwise, give this movie a try.

Summary: BORING!!!!
Review: I was very disappointed with this movie, I liked the idea of it better than the movie itself.. it was very slow .. and it was hard to follow... and there was no plot... if you need help falling to sleep, just pop this one in the vcr, and you will be asleep in no time... YAWN!!!

Summary: just australian
Review: This movie is a must for all down under fans. The actors play really cool and the story is well done. I just liked it, the accent reminded me of OZ and I seen it on and on.

Rating:
Summary: Appeals to Australian audiences
Review: Two Friends is a must for anyone who grew up in Australia in the 1980's. I think a lot of other people may find the film tedious and hard to follow. A great movie to show in schools too. :)
