Clouds of Sils Maria

A really good drama. I love the slow moving storyline and the acting by both Juliette Binoche and Kristen Stewart is a treat to watch. Also beautiful scenery and cinematography.

the movIE IS A PLAY!! :O

I can't remember what brought me to this movie, but I wasn't expecting that much from it as I've never thought much of Kirsten Stewart as an actor - even in movies where she's praised for her acting. But this one, she pulls through brilliantly. This has got to be the first movie where I've actually been able to feel anything from her character.And I related and felt the character from start to finish.

It's a great story and movie, with some really powerful moments. Juliette Binoche is magnificent.

I wanted to check this out after enjoying Assayas' 'Personal Shopper' so much. 'Sils Maria' doesn't deliver as much as that film, but it does have some very fine moments. Juliette Binoche (Maria) and Kristen Stewart (Valentine) are both brilliant, as is the beauty of the Swiss alps.

The film dissects Binoche's character and how she copes with age and lost love. This theme is put in place by her acting out a play within the movie. The problem with this concept is that it does rather throw the whole point of the movie in your face all the time. The script was therefore returning to the movie's concept time and time again, which, as well as being the whole point, did get a little tiresome at points. That said, I did like how Stewart's character was almost like a figment of Maria's imagination at times, and the scripts they were reading blurred the edges of reality and fiction, which was fun to try and work out.

A beautiful, but slightly flawed film. 7.2/10

This was a nice little character study that started to fade towards the end of the film.

I don't really get the reason why this movie is so well rated by some people I know (besides Juliette Binoche's performance).
