Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

rpchristie-812-957946 Intriguing, often very suspenseful and mysterious, the story keeps us wondering and waiting for answers all the way through. The themes are loneliness and rejection/ fear of rejection. Although I missed the significance of the foreshadowing right in the beginning when the main character showed grace and civility towards both his guards and fellow inmates as he was released from prison, in retrospect it was a well written screenplay. The acting by all characters was excellent.It was believable because of the extremely good character portrayal, the realistic settings in post-Katrina New Orleans area and cinematography that didn't try to sugar coat anything. I'd never seen it before (2014) but it is now on my top ten list. For once I could watch a movie without thinking "I'm going to have to shut this off". The story has a lot of power to make one think deeply and in the end we're left with resolutions but also with room to imagine our own continuation. Thank-you to it's creators, especially the cast!

uthusantuhan999 Great Love story, I like it when you Americans put a bunch of characters on a road trip. Classic!. This film takes you beyond the bitter part of life back into the sweet. The music just blend in, the camera capture is somewhat 'spiritual'. Simple movie, brought tears to my spirit's eyes. This one truly touches the heart. One great movie making!. Salute. The cast is perfect in their place. People may shine only in a moment in their life. And that moment will shine forever in whosoever is touched by it. I almost give up on Hollywood, but this shows, you still can do it right!Salute ^ ^

Lillian Nguyen I believe that the movie was well directed, well acted, and an enjoyable treat. Eddie Redmayne's character is not your stereotypical teenage boy, but complicated and misunderstood instead. The actor is enjoyable to watch and even portrays the character with every slight movement of his body. William Hurt is amazing as well. It seems that he is just another man on the road with two kids, but he later unravels to be someone else, a husband and ex-prisoner. The actor contains is almost like your flower. It starts out as a plain seed and it blooms or something extraordinary. Although Maria Bello is not present for most of the film, she is able to make her character a symbol, an object that is bigger. My only complaints are the use of flashbacks and Kristen Stewart's performance. The flashbacks were amazing, but they were sort of confusing by the way they are used. Stewart's character, Martine, brought light and innocence, but the character instead was left dull. However, she is able to make most of the darker moments. Nonetheless, it is a must see and an amazing film to watch.

moossaboossa There are movies, such as this and many others, that sometimes don't appeal to people do to the slowness of it all. Nonetheless, I was surprised to see the low rating that it received. The Yellow Handkerchief tells the touching story of three broken individuals, each with their own troubled past and lingering issues; who share one thing in common: the need to escape. The entire plot is centred around a long car journey, in which Martine (Kristen Stewart) and Gordy (Eddie Redmayne)slowly unravvel the mystery of Brett Hanson (Willian Hurt) an unhappy man, recently released from his sentence in prison. The movie is an Indie movie, and it does appear to be rather slow. The script isn't as chatty or invasive as the blockbuster movies we're used to, and there is a lot of scenery. But regardless, the theme of the movie is easy for people to relate to. You don't have to be a convict, or an abandoned child to understand it- the entire story, is about making mistakes. And eventually, the message becomes clearer: that the people who forgive you, and offer you a second chance, are those who love you the most. There are so many different ways to see this movie, that I will point out that that's only my interpretation. I highly recommend this movie, but only if you're in the mood for a more symbolic movie rather than fast paced; action packed thrillers..
