"Love is courage, love is joy, love is sacrifice, love is not a sin. Even though he was impulsive, he was heroic on most events, and brought together this message and lesson to the movie: He had gotten himself in trouble many times for Ya Wang. You'll see how much Xia Mu has grown and how he became a stronger person throughout the movie. Rather, he will progress and develop as a character through action. I just wish Xia Mu would have more dialogues, but I understand he's a stoic and emotionless character from the start so he wouldn't speak much. The cinematography and the amazing music went well with all the scenes. (on unrequited love)Įnding: Hopeful (That's a hint that it ended well.)

Accumulating suspense from the inevitability of a final showdown, the director, Jamie M. The story (by the twin brothers Benjamin and Paul China) is flimsy and the characters have just enough heft to keep the gears of the plot clicking. Set in a remote Alaskan valley (softly photographed in British Columbia by the cinematographer Jessica Lee Gagné), “Sweet Virginia” is a quiet knife-twister in which atmosphere and performance are everything. Gentle and melancholy, Sam mutes his demons with routine and a long-term affair with a married neighbor (Rosemarie DeWitt, fabulous). Waiting to conclude that transaction, Elwood washes up in a motel owned by Sam (Jon Bernthal), a onetime rodeo star limping after too many falls and trembling with the early signs of Parkinson’s disease.
The perpetrator, a restive stranger we will come to know as Elwood (played with chilling unpredictability by Christopher Abbott), has dark business with Lila (Imogen Poots), the young wife of one of the victims. The first of these shocks occurs immediately, as a late-night card game explodes into a triple murder. A twisty, small-town thriller that blooms in the shadows and shies from the light, “Sweet Virginia” marshals a relentlessly threatening mood from dangerous secrets and unpleasant surprises.
