It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Imagine a rich, ambitious and handsome man surprises his successful, beautiful and intelligent girlfriend with a horse ride in a picture-book landscape. Furthermore he prepared a forbiddingly expensive ring hidden in the girls horses' mane and when she notices it he gets on his knees immediately, begging for marriage. The weather is great, too. Sounds too good for reality and it definitely is. This is one way in which the narrative brilliantly deconstructs Adam and Linda's love every minute of this film. And suddenly you understand, that this couples relationship is based on lies and threads, which determined their destiny. The brighter the sun, the darker the shadow. Great feelings becoming even more touching by the convincing acting of Ian Bohen and Mei Melancon. Unusually for a model turned actress, supermodel Estella Warren shows a good performance, scoring as Linda's best friend.
"Irreversi", directed by Michael Gleissner presents the tale of a married couple whose lives become entangled in a web of deceit and mistrust. The conclusion draws on a twist which very few people would see coming. Presented well, the movie draws from top-notch performances from its main as well as supporting cast. The professional cinematography to the elaborate sets to the near perfect direction makes the movie an entertaining and gripping melodrama. The movie moves at a moderately good pace and never begins to drag thereby keeping the audience engaged at all points. A must-see drama, the movie is certainly worth watching.
