Good movie!

I think this film captures it perfectly, a brilliantly executed piece of cinema.

It took me several hours to watch this movie, as I kept falling asleep due to utter boredom. If you cant fall asleep and are in dire need of a good snooze, than this movie is for you. Otherwise, I suggest avoiding this movie.

Wander Darkly tells the story of Adrienne and Matteo, a couple whose fractured relationship dances on a knife's edge when a tragic car accident unfolds. The movie has a great ending and some good performances both from Sienna Miller and Diego Luna. However the film is sometimes confused, predictable and slow. Rating: 5,7.

Wander Darkly This movie had all the ingredients of a top notch movie, the script just lacked any heart, they went through the motions but it just wasn't convincing! I think perhaps there was just no chemistry between the leads and the interacts to stilted and cerebral! The movie was remarkable in that most of the dialogue was expressed in the 3rd person. Sienna Miller has a dominating presence, shear class, but it could not save this movie. Overall the movie was an unwatchable disjointed mess and I can only give it a weak 3 outta 10, meaning what were they thinking making this tripe!

The movie could have been great but Sienna Miller's character is so unlikable I just couldn't get into it or care about anything going on in the film. The script needed to create a love connection between the leads in order for me to invest emotionally into the story and the trauma they suffered.

Married couple Adrienne (Sienna Miller) and Matteo (Diego Luna) has a car accident. She seems to be dead as she exists in purgatory living out one memory after another. The first half struggles to find a narrative drive. It needs a mystery, a goal, or a point to the story. In a way, it's stuck in purgatory like the protagonist. There is a mystery to be had if the film doesn't start with her in a morgue drawer. The first half could be her struggling to figure out if she's dead. The second half does find a couple of points and it gets interesting. All in all, there is some fine acting and this is a fine small indie.

Sienna Miller is just exquisite. She pulls you in and never lets go. This story was so beautiful, dark, raw, real and heart wrenching. A story of love and life. Also loss... Reminds me of the film, What Dreams May Come with the late Robin Williams. It's one of my favorites. I don't want to give away any spoilers. But it's worth a watch. It drew some tears from me throughout the movie and definitely streaming tears at the end. Beautifully done, great chemistry with Sienna and Diego Luna! Not sure why Vanessa Bayer was randomly in here? But other than that amazing film.

3.5 out of 5 stars. Wander Darkly is a pretty fair film about a couple Adrienne (Sienna Miller) and Matteo (Diego Luna) who are struggling with there relationship. When an accident leaves them in a trauma. Where they face the past and current conflict with there relationship. They try to resolve there conflict that is holding them back. The plot i can not say much more without going into spoiler territory. It was surprisingly good. A car accident affecting them both. Such as facing life after death. Dealing with loss and grief. And how a humans mind work itself in dealing with trauma. Adrienne and Matteo are dealing with a troubled relationship. Where they test each others love for one and another. It is an emotional movie. And has a twist that will keep you guessing til the end. Diego Luna and Sienna Miller did a great job with there roles. I did find the exposition being too dragged on. And slow in the end. But it is a wonderful film.
