Tenderness (2016) User Reviews

You need patience and effort to understand this movie!

First of all, this is not a standard movie where you understand the plot and you somehow anticipate what is going on.

In this movie you will understand what happens only in the last 20 minutes. And also, in my opinion, this movie has no real ending.

You are just introduced to the characters, their way of life and basically what happens with them for a short while.

Probably this is why it got such a low rating on imdb. It's not a movie for the masses. You really need to think about this movie and watch it alone, "digest" it.

I appreciate the effort of the producers and probably I would have added more sex scenes.

I only have to give 5 stars because the transition from one scene to another is ambiguos and weird.

EXISTENTIAL ISSUES

Young people today seem to be so confused about lifes values that have decided to takle a day at the time....on the most itense personal moments backfires occur making them so reclusive and unapproacheful that the only meaning for them lies in the bottom of a bottle or in the smokes of pot or in drug abuse....family for them means only ties to the past and not something to look forward to which explains the population aging in Europe at least...the most tragic figure is the anorexic star who wants to win the borderline people and not the mainstream and fails....she is utterly disapointed and almosr suicidal.....she even denies an easy way out offered by the exploitation japanese master.....this decadence comes full circle every 100 years or so ..hence the parallelism to France,s impressionism (Mane -Renoir) with the lace scene....all in all it,s not a bad film...it just cannot help you to predict a viable future for generations to come and may be that is the point it wants to show.
