I had no idea what I was watching but as it goes on it kept me trying to understand what it was all about. This is a strange gem that shines as bright as it is imaginary. We need more movies like this. You know movies that force you think.

A deliberately obscure movie about a delusional man seeking revenge for having been locked up for four years.

Thriller cupo a fortissime tinte gotiche, in cui però tutti i personaggi sono piuttosto simili nella loro emarginazione e nella loro condizione ai limiti del sopportabile. In tutte le storyline le atmosfere sono molto simili ed i colori troppo piatti, scelta ovviamente voluta ma non particolarmente centrata. Manca spesso il guizzo in grado di destare l'interesse, il cambio di ritmo che avviene solamente in un paio di circostanze, quando vengono resi noti alcuni dettagli, come la follia dell'uomo mascherato o l'amicizia immaginaria del giovane Riley. Tutto gradevole ma il film non riesce veramente ad attrarre lo spettatore e a renderlo partecipe; forse proprio per l'ambientazione non credibile.

Franklyn – Die Wahrheit trägt viele Masken ist ein Fantasyfilm. Der Film ist die erste Regiearbeit von Gerald McMorrow, der auch das Drehbuch schrieb… In London durchleben verschiedene Charaktere in verschiedenen Dimensionen schwierige Situationen… Die Geschichte wird in vier Handlungssträngen erzählt, die miteinander verwoben sind… Ein kryptischer Fantasy-Thriller über vier verlorene Seelen zu verschiedenen Zeiten und an verschiedenen Orten. Und doch sind sie durch ein Geheimnis verbunden, die sich schließlich zu einem brillanten Finale vereinigen und wieder implodieren… Ein Anspruchsvoller Fantasy Film in jeder Art. Ich habe ihn mit Genuss genossen…

This has quite an underworld feel to it, like batman in Gotham. It's reasonably sinister and atmospheric, although the lack of information (plot details) made it hard to feel especially emotionally invested in the various characters. Its pretty quirky but I certainly didn't feel particularly gripped by it. There are some good action scenes but it felt distinctly average to me and I was frustrated by the hushed dialogue at times as well, so I wouldn't particularly recommend it, no.

Best watched on mute otherwise be prepared to continuously toggle between volumes of 95 and 5.

The masked man and futuristic scenes look amazing but unfortunately these scenes only play a small part, most of the film is set in modern day timeframe. By the end everything is "sort of" explained, but the story is very poor which is unfortunate. If this film was all about masked man it could have been very good.

Too much plot device, and not enough plot, really; -It's pretty good, but in the end, seemed pointless.

It's a confusing set of four plots that come together, but by the end reveal, I'm not really caring anymore. It's unfortunate, as there's some decent ideas and cool imagery, but it just couldn't hold my interest throughout.

Bold, interesting blend of visually striking sci-fi and low key Brit drama. Two lots of Eva Green too, well worth watching.

Ambitious film. Thoroughly enjoyed

An interesting visually impressive dystopian sci-fi, unfortunately paired with a dreadfully boring counterpart that you only wish would go away, every time it comes back. Even worse is after we pass the 50 minute mark the boring parts only become longer and longer and ends up eventually taking over altogether, all the while pulling the good old "it was all an illusion" on us. Just classy! According to the plot, the movie revolves around four broken people. An awkward loser, who is so desperate for a woman in his life that he begins stalking his childhood girlfriend(who is actually a ghost or something) immediately after cancelling the wedding with his ex, a father who can't find his son and makes no real attempt at doing so, an overly edgy artist who is so caught up in a bad art project (even her teacher call it garbage) that she is destroying whatever relation she has to the real world and the hilariously poorly named Jonathan Preest. People who all lack faith, which is essentially the big theme here. The attempt at making the movie deep and original was completely squandered by attempting to tell two wildly different stories at once. The gothic dystopian setting is surprisingly rare on the big screen and years pass between a movie of the genre is released. I'll place this movie in "lost potential" list. I do get what the movie is trying to tell us, but it ultimately falls flat and ends up feeling unoriginal and like a bit of a disappointment, as we get a brief taste of what the movie old have been.

A brilliant concept executed so poorly. The look and visual style is very reminiscent of Alex Proyas' Dark City, and on a visual level this movie is very good. But the main character is a blatant ripoff of Rorschach from Zack Snyder's Watchmen, the script makes no sense, and the acting is wooden.

It's a less pretentious and messy Cloud Atlas with a twist ending.

Takes a while to pick up, kind of convoluted and the voice overs are annoying, yet necessary to understand the plot, but overall finishes up with a bang. Won't be for everyone, but definitely something different from the ordinary.

Really interesting film which reminds me of Watchmen and Dark City.

This is a great movie in every aspect. There are two types of people who won't like this movie - eye candy bottom feeders who need booms every second, and ear candy bottom feeders who have the same attention span as the first...

The premise for this film is insanely awesome and complex, but, unless there's a sequel in the works, the intertwining of realities occurs far too late in the story for the premise to live up to it's full potential. However, the steampunk-esque setting of one of the realities is breathtaking, and is a potential premise for a film all of its own.

I was captured from the first few minutes. Who wouldn't like a movie about a atheist vigilante in a dystopian future?
