Review of Franklyn

Franklyn (2008)
6/10
Well...I don't know?

Warning: Spoilers
I thought it slow and I was waiting for it to begin, at least through 3/4 of the movie, but somehow I wanted to keep watching. The characters were hard to get a grip of, but I get the feeling that was one of the points. I'm not entirely sure how much I liked this movie, if at all, but I couldn't stop thinking about it after the end. Trying to figure it all out.

I can't complain about the acting or cinematography. That was all good. And I actually liked how the story "flowed" between the two worlds. Maybe, for me to really like it, it should have been more....Just more. A little richer. The end is up to the viewers to interpret, but I don't think we got enough information to do so.

As a side note (and this might be seen as a spoiler!), someone else commented on the title, Franklyn, not being mentioned in the movie, but if I remember it correctly, the name on the doorbell to the apartment above Emilia's was Franklyn. So, I guess that would be where Preest was staying. But I could be wrong.
