730561, A mixed recommendation for Berlin Syndrome
Posted by spirit, Sat Jul-14-18 10:47 PM
Pretty sure Berlin Syndrome was the second film from this director (Shortland?). The setup is flawless IMO but the movie runs about 20 minutes too long and the resolution did not equal the buildup, for me, although it had a poetic ring to it. The main character has some "holy shit why didn't you do X" moments where I literally talked to the screen (I never do that LMAO), but overall I think it probably deserves a watch. I kind of think it works best if you have no idea what is going to happen. Just a woman who meets a charming stranger in Berlin and how things unfold from there.

Peace,
