Negative Positive
Title: Intense
Review: I went to this movie knowing that it was going to be rather intense but it hit harder than I expected. This isn't a bad thing but it was a surprise.The 3 stories are interwoven beautifully, with little or no jarring when moving from one to the other. In fact, I really liked the way the film transitioned.The acting is exceptional but I took 1 star off for the story itself being rather hard to follow. I got the feeling that I should have read the book first or at least known the history of Virginia Woolf and her book "Mrs. Dalloway". The research I did after seeing the movie cleared up some of the questions I had.I've heard some negative reviews based on the homosexuality portrayed in the movie. It's sad that people would focus on that instead of just accepting it as part of the story. It's not a "gay" or "straight" film but the portrayal of 3 women who's lives are not what most would consider typical.
Is the review positive or negative?
