Seraphim Falls (2006)


The Good:
The story plays out much more like the plot progression of a novel than a typical screenplay, that made it interesting.
The changes in scenery were very neat and the scenery itself was beautiful.
There was an interesting breadth of background characters.
The two parallel stories were excellent contrasts.

The Bad:
Two Irishmen playing two very American characters... just kinda weird don't you think?
Some of the acting (not the main characters) was so-so.
Predictable in places.

Overall: A much more interesting and complex story than it seems to be. I enjoyed it more and more as the tale was revealed.
