De(s)cent

Do you like your movie to have a couple of twists? No matter if you can see them coming or not? To be fair, certain situations only have either or as options. Either this is a good guy or a bad guy. So no cookie for you if you guessed this right. On the other hand, since I don't control your cookies, I reckon you might get one after all, no matter if I approve or not.

That being said, there are some interesting relationships on display here, but also quite some overacting ... and the drama! Oh boy the drama might make you sick. If you can overcome that though and the obvious cliches and the ending that really made things conviniently fall into place (a lot of things had to go that way for this to make sense ... and still it doesn't) ... if you can overlook many things there is some light at the end of the tunnel

a married couple embarking into a web of deceit and betrayal

"Irreversi", directed by Michael Gleissner presents the tale of a married couple whose lives become entangled in a web of deceit and mistrust. The conclusion draws on a twist which very few people would see coming. Presented well, the movie draws from top-notch performances from its main as well as supporting cast. The professional cinematography to the elaborate sets to the near perfect direction makes the movie an entertaining and gripping melodrama. The movie moves at a moderately good pace and never begins to drag thereby keeping the audience engaged at all points. A must-see drama, the movie is certainly worth watching.

A really touching drama - great script

Imagine a rich, ambitious and handsome man surprises his successful, beautiful and intelligent girlfriend with a horse ride in a picture-book landscape. Furthermore he prepared a forbiddingly expensive ring hidden in the girls horses' mane and when she notices it he gets on his knees immediately, begging for marriage. The weather is great, too. Sounds too good for reality and it definitely is. This is one way in which the narrative brilliantly deconstructs Adam and Linda's love every minute of this film. And suddenly you understand, that this couples relationship is based on lies and threads, which determined their destiny. The brighter the sun, the darker the shadow. Great feelings becoming even more touching by the convincing acting of Ian Bohen and Mei Melancon. Unusually for a model turned actress, supermodel Estella Warren shows a good performance, scoring as Linda's best friend.
