trailer:
Roger Ebert's site gives it a glowing 4-star review that concludes,
if you want to see a movie that offers thoughtful meditations on materialism and mortality, includes a couple of sequences so quietly hypnotic and stylish that Hitchcock himself would have bowed down in sheer admiration, and is centered around what is sure to be one of the best performances to grace movie screens this year, “Personal Shopper” is an incredible work that will continue to haunt you, long after it is over.
The Guardian says, "Stewart is outstanding as a haunted fashion-biz assistant in Olivier Assayas’s enigmatic ghost story and quarterlife character study." Criterion calls it a "melancholy ghost story" and "A stirring depiction of grief in the form of a psychological thriller".
...if you had trouble maintaining attention to it, I wouldn't even try.
ReplyDeleteAh, but now that we both know what to expect we'll find paying attention easy!
DeleteSounds like an interesting premise
ReplyDeleteYes, it was a different take on it. They do audiences a disservice I think in calling it a thriller.
DeleteThat sounds like a thoughtful one.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely!
DeleteThis sounds very good! Thanks, have a great week, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThey keep predicting rain, but rain hasn't come. Our temps are 10 degrees above normal. It's an interesting week :)
DeleteKristen Stewart is usually very good.
ReplyDeleteShe was good in this.
DeleteIf you had trouble watching it, I will pass.
ReplyDeleteI only had trouble because I had the wrong idea of what it was and thought it was a thriller. Once I realized... so that's why I explained it's not a thriller ;)
