Force Majeure (2014)
8/10
Human nature
24 April 2016
What would happens when a family faces the fact that one of the members is not really who they think this member is? And what if that one member has never been the person the rest of the family thought this member was? This is a movie about human nature. About how naked our heart is when faced with an extreme situation. This movie explores the aftermath of the realization that your expectations from someone don't quite match reality, to say the least. But then again, if we care to stop projecting ourselves into the other person and pause to see who they really are, we will soon realize that the personality was there all along but we didn't really wanted to see it. We simply believe our own lies and make heroes out of the most normal of humans.

The plot is excellent and the acting is perfect. The pace is so that you don't feel bored or tired. However, instead of leaving the actions to their last consequences, for some unnecessary reason that I guess only the director knows, the movie devolves into a result that simply does not match the story and forces us to smile when we shouldn't. And this is why I cannot give full marks.

Other than that, this is a great movie to watch.
