Between Heaven And Hell

Rating: 6/10 (16 September 2017)

Oh what to make of this future cult classic, yes it is self indulgent and hideously over done, and yet like some abstract piece of surreal modern art i found the film, strangely no oddly hypnotic. Jennifer Lawrence gives by some measure her most mature performance to date. Michelle Pfeiffer certainly has never been better and Ed Harris was brilliant yet again. Best of all though is Javier Bardem a great actor anyway he delivers something of a tour de force of conflicting energies passing from loving husband and father to evil monster his range is nothing short of starling. My movie experience saw a fairly good crowd begin the film but a third got up and walked out, some laughed in the wrong places others howled derision as for me i'm still in shock, masterpiece or one of the most miscalculated turkey's of all time, i only ask the question? I certainly was transfixed by the film, but i certainly did not enjoy it. History then must decide? Masterpiece or Rotten Tomato.
