6/10
BRIEF ENCOUNTER IT ISN'T!
2 June 2020
This would have easily been a 9 or 10 even, if the director hadn't chopped it to bits. Montgomery Clift and Jennifer Jones gave very strong performances, they filmed in the actual train station and the light from shooting there gave great points of light and shadow; however, the movie was so fragmented to cut time, they're work is completely over shadowed. There should have been much more background to the story to show the reason for this taught energy between them. It's still a film to watch, but I, for one, have been left feeling unsatisfied. The only reason I gave it a six is the things I've mentioned above. The director didn't do his job. Pity.
