Review of Clouds of Sils Maria (2014) by Hayden H — 20 Jul 2016

An interesting character study within a short rounded, yet over-long story that had to have two acts just to tell the story where barely any info is given at all. Juliette & Kristiin are dynamite on screen and the chemistry is shocking on how well they go together. This may the first movie Stewart has played where I can criticize to her and/or ridicule her. Because if I did for this movie, I'd have to be considered a judge mental monster.

The story however did not play out with much thought as if the director was just focused on the scenery (which isn't bad at some cases) and everything else that I felt like not much emotion came into this as I expected there to be. I just felt like something was missing and in that it also felt too long of a movie too. If it were me, if have more on rehearsals of the play for act 2 but oh well. I guess it could if ended up as a more subtitle and human version of Black Swan or the laid back Birdman if it did.

"C".
