A Bigger Splash gives an interesting look at human relationships
I was not sure what to think when I went to see A Bigger Splash. It has a great cast, and sounding pretty cool so I decided to check it out. It is one of those rare films that doesn’t always have its message on the surface. I saw this movie last week and here is what I thought of it.
You can read the plot for A Bigger Splash here:
“While vacationing on a Sicilian island with her boyfriend (Matthias Schoenaerts), a rock star (Tilda Swinton) receives an unexpected visit from an old flame (Ralph Fiennes) and his seductive daughter (Dakota Johnson).”
I found A Bigger Splash to be interesting. The movie is not always that fast paced and it is not necessarily clear what it is about sometimes but that is what makes it good. The movie begins in a simple enough fashion but once it gets going it is actually pretty great. The characters take a journey together and they are not even sure how it will end. Things happen along the way and some secrets get revealed that change all of their lives forever. It takes place in an exotic locale where life is simple that is until the old friend comes to town. Once this happens life is fuller and each day brings new joys and surprises with it. I liked how the film is full of amazing tunes that have the tendency to add that extra spark to some scenes that make them absolutely enjoyable to watch. Overall this won’t be a movie everyone will like but it is worth checking out. You can learn more about A Bigger Splash on its website.
A Bigger Splash gets 6/10. It was not an awful movie by any means but it did bug me how slow it could be at times. There are at least a couple scenes that sadly drag the film down. A few scenes actually change the direction the film was going and this is not always a good thing. The cast is great together and there is plenty of jealousy, adult situations and things to make you think at a deeper level than the average film. For those who like those types of film then they will love this one. Just know that kids should not see it because of some drug references and there is a good amount of nudity and a few sexual situations.
If you like a good thriller then you should definitely see this movie. People who are fans of any of these actors won’t want to miss this film. A Bigger Splash comes out today. You can also follow A Bigger Splash on Facebook and Twitter.
