merelyaninnuendo A Bigger SplashThe feature demands attention through stunning visuals that are shot beautifully and up beats the tone and the enthusiast of the characters and their individual tales. Addition to that, it scores majestically on terms of technical aspects like cinematography, costume design and sound effects. The concept is fresh, eerie and potential enogh to withhold the audience for complete two hours of its runtime. It is bold and not at all pretentious and the primary reason is its gripping screenplay, intriguing conversation and pragmatic characters that the tale revolves around. The adaptation is smart by David Kajganich that is supported by perfect editing. Luca Guadagnino; the director, has done a tremendous work on executing this stunning pitch and pulls it off with confidence on projecting this huge cast on screen. All the actors too, are in their A game and chips it all in and gives a stellar performance especially Ralph Fiennes and Tilda Swinton but doesn't get the support as anticipated by Matthias Schoenaerts and Dakota Johnsson who still needs some more work. The feature also derails somewhere in its final act and fumbles its way down a bit only to pick up for a tense climax. A Bigger Splash is prominent and neat splashing that may be easily forgetful after leaving the screen but until its running, it offers a thrilling ride.

blumdeluxe In "A bigger splash", the audience gets to know the story of a celebrity couple that has to face some long forgotten problems when an old friend and lover appears and brings along his mysterious daughter and ambitions to win back the lady.The movie has a well-known cast and convinces through beautiful images of the Italian landscape it plays in. It includes recent issues such as the refugee crisis and tries to base the story within its surroundings. Personally, I have to admit, that I didn't really find a connection to the plot, though. The film is a very slow one and nearly all of the characters remain distant in one form or another. You do get to feel the jealousy and tension the events are based on, nevertheless it didn't feel like there was a lot of tension building up and so in the end, you don't really know what to make of the film. I could imagine that all of this is well considered by the producers, it just didn't work out for me.All in all this is surely a well-produced movie that manages to hit the undertones of jealousy, seduction and long buried feelings. If you are d'accord with a slow plot and subtle tension, this is definitely worth a watch for you.

Easygoer10 I thought this film was annoying, at best. It is also very pretentious. I believe this is owed to the director, who apparently is under the impression he has already won the DGA Lifetime Achievement Award. The worst part is the casting of Tilda Swinton as a rock star (???). She has the charm and appeal of cabbage plant. I can think of at least a half-dozen actresses who are better suited for the role.At first, I was thinking of Gwyneth Paltrow, who is very smart, sexy, beautiful and much more believable. However, I changed my mind, and began leaning towards someone with more of an edge; say Noomi Rapace (or maybe Mirielle Enos).

alicia_bear I don't blame the actors. I don't blame the directing. Simply put, the story line stinks. I'm assuming that the only reason WB gave a green light was because this was tied to another project. Forced production. Attempting Indi art and respect. Notably, I'll give credit when credit is due. The actors are superb at playing the roles given. The cinematography is beautiful. Gorgeous and romantic. Bonus points for tapping into the libertarian open sexuality. Too bad the story was too ho-hum. Typical. Simple enough to easily assume outcomes, yet characters so unattached that the audience doesn't care. I've watched Hallmark movies that have been more investing in my time.
