Needs some work

Rating: 4/10 (30 March 2008)

Honestly, I didn't like this movie that much. I was bored all throughout the film.
Positives first...
I have to give props to Gosling and McAdams for their exceptional acting as star-crossed and confused lovers. They were definitely not afraid to go down and dirty! Cinematography was great. The mellow capture of certain scenes was breathtaking, but Atonement still has my vote.
Now the fun begins!
The movie offers excruciatingly painful editing. It seemed as if... whoa, like where did this come from. Definitely, editing had me a little dizzied.
The actions of the characters were a little dumb. I know they're driven by love, but it doesn't work for me.
Final say? Mawkishness is in check, but editing isn't!
