Never Look Away Reviews
Oh it's so good guys, I highly recommend.
i can't tell you how beautiful is this movie.
I really loved this film. You go on a journey with the artist. And the sequence in which he finally finds his voice, and paints the paintings which unlock his past and his future, is just so moving and compelling. I was very moved by the actors. And a great score by Max Richter. Even if it does play fast and loose with Gerhard Richter's biography, it is still a very powerful portrait of an artist's journey to creation.
Saw it pre Covid, still thinking about it. Nowadays we talk a lot about inclusion, this is about exclusion. Artists, but also if you look differently at art, if you are different according to social norms. People will correct you, or worse. Be ware.
Mais uma linda biografia... Baseado na biografia de Gerard Richter, passa por sua infância durante a guerra, a perda de sua tia, Elisabeth, uma jovem que lhe inspirou com a imaginação e o amor pela vida e liberdade, sua paixão uma outra Elizabeth, lindo, romântico e apaixonante...
A great biopic and a journey in the History of Germany and in the soul of the German People
Based on an artist's work, it takes on Germany, Nazis, guilt, and the struggle to make art that means something.
Great movie! I have never seen anything like it in other films about artists. Depicts the arduous road toward artistic creativity.
This is a great movie. It's long, but don't worry, it goes by fast. Donnersmarck does an exceptional job of creating a time and place - much the same way Coppola did. He then adds the characters and events to tell the story with many facets and nuances. Things are rarely black and white, even the Third Reich and Communism, and the film give you some insight into the situations people found - and put - themselves in during that time and then on into the Economic Miracle of postwar West Germany. If you liked 'The Lives of Others', you will like this film.
Though epically long - over 3 hours - and a bit like a German soap opera, it is very well-played and paced - the changes of years were at a pace that rarely made the movie slow down. There was no real confrontation between the artist and the doctor who'd been responsible for the death of his aunt, but the final moment in which they were together was sufficient for the doctor to feel the impact.
Zbrodnia wobec sztuki, szaleństwo. Fajnie sobie leżeli. Inspiruje, ale i rozczarowuje. Dobre aktorstwo
really, it's longgg. but still one of the best movies I've seen. fascinating that it's based on the true story. Paula Beer is a sweetheart.
The film has a narrative with many stories, layers and phases. It has an incredibly coherent timeline. It shows it from the point of view of the German people who also suffered greatly from the war and the atrocities of the Nazi regime. In the beginning we have a visceral exposition about the racial rules of Germany in the 1940s. In the following decades we have the German survivors who also suffered countless traumas of family tragedies due to inhumanly distorted public health policies. A beautifully romanticized and very well produced film.
Extraordinary. Touching. German director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck confirms his remarkable skills in directing and screenwriting. The film tells the story of an artist starting from the most impressive events of childhood. Despite the length of time, the film is narratively fast and engaging. One of those films you wish would never end.
I really enjoyed this movie. It was extremely deep and had a lot of meaning and you really had to think about what you were seeing.
While it can feel a bit slow at times, Never Look Away is a fantastically-made movie that delves into a wide variety of topics including art, mental illness, genocide, war, human sexuality, regret, and the consequences of one's past. One of the greatest films ever made in the past decade or so. I highly recommend.
I liked it a lot. This film had to get many Oscars in 2018, it is really really much better than crap pointless movies, taken prizes.
Love the story and directing, though "lives of others" were a better one.
It was quite epic, not only because it was 3 hours long but it was much more than an artist trying to find his style, it was about everything that was going on in that period of time and the cast was amazing as well.
