the slow burner is the high earner! (by lightbeing-48261) |
For people that are interested in black/white history this is a gripping movie; The Keeping Room has a very real-feel. So many movies in trying to be a movie are just that; A MOVIE; and suspending disbelief becomes an effort. Thinking this is an action movie is like driving fast down the motorway; you get to your destination quickly; but miss the scenery. TKR is full of scenery; a feminine treat for men and women alike. Absorb it's slow momentum; the grinding tension of ignorance coupled with power. Ultimately it's a quote that captures the movie "we are all ni99ers now", <more> |
You Think You've Seen This One-- (by beorhhouse) |
--but you haven't. Not by a long shot. Muna Otaru's lines alone are worth the entire time spent with this film. She plays a slave who is one of the strongest women of trust in God ever portrayed on the silver screen. Hailee Steinfeld, ultra-famous for playing the precocious youngster in the far superior remake of True Grit, appears in this so-called Western we have no genre called Southern as a whimpering, naive, arrogant older teenager--but, as with True Grit and her powerful bit part in The Homesman, she carries the film with equal power to Otaru and Brit Marling whose <more> |
Seek This One Out (by movie-op) |
The American Civil War is a time period that's been told almost exclusively from the male perspective and has most often centered on Northerners winners do write history , so to see a story about southern women enduring the brutality of the war's end is rather surprising. What makes it satisfying, and a truly excellent film, is how sharp the storytelling is. Writer Julia Hart uses the small story of three women, two sisters Brit Marling and Hailee Steinfeld and their young slave Muna Otaru , to capture the massive effects the war had on the southern way of life, but never hits you <more> |
Woman's survival movie (by rockenkay) |
I liked this movie a lot.. I love Civil war movies and this one is different from most as it's about the women.. It's the ending of the Civil war, a violent time to be outside of Atlanta just before being burned.. Three women struggling to survive on the left overs of a depleted countryside, get caught in the violence of two insane soldiers. Most important is the way the women overcome ..This is an intelligent and insightful script, written by Julia Hart.. The plot builds in momentum fairly fast but if you're looking for a man's fight and/or special effects,, this isn't <more> |
Good movie (by funny-49108) |
Good plot and actors. Accurately portrayed the rough life of women in the Civil War Era. Feminist movie with strong female leads. It was overall an enjoyable action packed movie with a lot of violence. |
Survival of the fittest (by hossein-dashtaki) |
I am surprised to see that some people do not like this movie. May be they did not get the message this movie is sending. First , this movie wants to give you the sense of the violence and rampage that some stray Union soldiers conducted during the U.S. civil war which has seldom been reported in history. Second , it wants to show you the hardship and misery of those days' women who were left alone , to live and survive by themselves , when their husbands left for war. Third , it wants to convey this message to women , based on movie's currents of events , that , if they are united, <more> |
A gripping movie (by Irishchatter) |
It does tell you a lot about American Slavery during the Civil War. This movie did make it look pretty real compared to other movies based on the black slavery during that time. It was just horrible and cruel to look at some scenes containing bloody violence that would disgust you. I thought at the beginning of the movie was horrific when the slave woman was shot for discovering that a Civil War solider was raping and killing a young girl. I always hated in movies like these when the white people call the black people 'Nigga', it honestly grinds your teeth. It is so annoying and <more> |
Watch It (by briannapino) |
I like this movie and i'm surprised some feel differently towards it. It was cool to see the war coming from a woman's perspective and show the horrors of the woman trying to defend their home and themselves. It showed how at the end of the Civil War that it was violent and it also showed women didn't have much respect. We noticed that it showed not only the woman's perspective but the man's as well. Many could say they view this movie differently but I viewed it as showing how strong women were in this time period and to show the destruction the Civil War caused.I <more> |
