Don't Go

source: Don't Go

This was an Uber boring film about a cheating man who's daughter falls down the stairs and dies after finding daddy in bed with another woman. He goes into the beach with sleeping pills and booze and has these dreams about the family playing with sandcastles. At the very end he swims into the sea and is killed by a boat. Then wife goes home and finds the daughter alive. Who wrote and made this film needs a slap.

I am not sure what to make of this film, perhaps I needed to suspend belief and believe in the characters more. Father apparently loses child and has recurring dreams about the last day although why or how the child died is not mentioned or shown. Then we have the situation where this man appears to be having a breakdown because of his grief. The premise of the story appears to question what is real and what isn't and just left me bewildered.

I agree with everything already written really. Really nice watch, left a tad confused but it was nice. Wonderful cinematography, scenes, music and acting. Left feeling happy, sad and reflective.

Yet another dud featuring Stephen Dorff. At this pace, he's bound to become the next Eric Roberts. This one is nicely done, with a really great supporting cast, nice cinematography and direction, good editing, etc. But one thing falls short, and another goes a little too far. As usual, what goes a little too far is Stephen Dorff: he's always trying too hard to "act". Well, not always, but enough for you to notice he's trying too hard... What falls short is the plot. It sucks. Besides the fact that you can see the ending a mile away, there is no tension whatsoever, not even for a second, and then there's the ridiculous mystery animal (crows) and the ridiculous mystery-man (a furniture mover dressed in a crow-themed T-shirt bought online, who drops a couple of lines of platitudinous BS). If you are a romantic 12-year old, this might blow your mind. If you're an adult, you might enjoy this movie as a mild waste of time. You will forget it in 20 minutes, that's why I'm writing this ASAP after watching it.

It's really interesting, I thought it would just be a movie about a couple grieving and the father not accepting his daughter's death, thus imagining a way for her to connect with her. There's a twist, but yet I fail to see the connection between both parts of the story, in a sense the point of the movie. Do we see a ghost's private hell, because of the guilt he carried about having an affair? why did the daughter die in this story? To me, it looks like either the original ending was different, and they changed it to have a twist at the end, or the twist was what they were trying to get to, and the storytelling should have been better. Too bad...

Great movie and meaning great actors and actresses. I don't think many people anymore know what a good movie looks like.

This is the kind of twisted movie that will haunt your uncouncious nerve synapsis in your sleeping dreams. not wet they are, but a puzzle that made me think more than twice, and a maze to get out of. its a film that has two choices, start watching the end first or do it the regular way. its complicated but good there are signs upon signs on top of signs, in dreams upon dreams on top of dreams. it has so much grieve,and so much hopes and wishes, till you start thinking the impossible will be possible. there are good pace all over,ok story and plot, acting very well done. the filmography are great, with lots of shifting themes, and the score are brilliantly used ,like a babys lollaby-song.the piano sequences that repeats inbetween are like hubba bubba under the shoes,sticky and difficult to get away. so if your in for a mystery-drama, have a look at dont go,the grumpy old man says

I'm the same as natcalgary. I put it on for some background noise. But I noticed a few different scenes that made me pause it near the end and to watch it from the start, properly. I got the gist of the story and surprisingly these parents stay together but I didn't see enough the first time to spoil the end. I loved the ending, I didn't see it coming and that's the kind of movie I love. Hate it when a movie is entirely predictable but this one is not. It's a must watch (in my eyes). ENJOY!

Mystery movies are my favorite genre so I'm always excited when it's one of those stories with twists and turns but in this case it just fell short. The plot was much too confusing, not that original, with a slow repeating pace. The cast wasn't bad so no actor has to be blamed for the lower score. It's just the story that is not that captivating, unless maybe you lost a child yourself at one point so you can understand the despair of the father more. I can understand that people are going to like this movie but for me it was just not good enough, at least not to be remembered.
