I think Frankie not listening to the prepared playlist actually matched her character a typical 11 yr old liking her own music😂😂 her authenticity shines through I’ve rarely seen a child portrayed so accurately
@@ottercar1493 true. But from movies I’ve seen, children have lines that sound like they were clearly written by adults. They also don’t seem so carefree/trusting in themself. Where in this film it feels like we are truly just listening to every thought she decided to speak out loud. Doesn’t sound so rehearsed/refined. Exactly what Charlotte wells wanted I think! A time capsule feeling
The acting in this film is a joy to behold, it’s rare to see such genuine chemistry between the main cast. Paul is a sensational actor and Frankie, well, what a career you have ahead of you. Well done to all involved, a masterpiece from Charlotte Wells.
My goodness, Frankie's performance simply was the best performance by a young actor I have EVER seen. Sooo subtle, nuanced and natural, absolutely STUNNING.
Sadly it is more likely Frankie will never play a role nearly as good as this one again and will fade into obscurity as so many other child prodigies. And ironically she will look back at this film in her early 30s and wonder exactly where it went wrong. Let's hope not though.
Paul seems like such a soft-spoken, thoughtful and lovely person. He's also an immense talent, and I wish him the best in navigating through an increasingly high profile career.
when i was in my early 20s, i worked in a hotel as a receptionist in fethiye, turkey (where it was shot) in summers to earn some money, improve my english and not the least explore the world. now, i ve just watched this movie as almost at the age of 40. what strikes me the most is that when i was at that age, our conversations with tourist customers were not deep enough. yes we were having conversations, even short-term affairs but we did not know what kind of life stories they have. we just knew that it's the british working class that chooses fethiye for low-price holidays. after all, and after having lived in scotland for one year, watching this movie kind of takes me back to those days i had in fethiye and also completes the puzzle: we all have pains and vulnerabilities, being a tourist does not change this reality. charlotte tells this in the most naive/modest way. congrats!
Wow I’m actually crying at what Paul says at the end. He really cares about this story. This filM is VERY special and was made with so much love. Paul really cares about what he does and his passion translates to the screen in a similar way Timothée Chalamet’s does
I was halfway through this film and thought to myself that not a lot was going on. But by the end something really hit me and I was really emotional. A very clever film
Yes, I was the same I watched it on BBC i player & thought it was ponderous but decided to stick with it & pow! close to the ending just sucks you in as you realise the agony he is going through..Now amongst my top films of all time.
Absolutely amazing film and one that will stay with me for a very long time. So tender, so raw, so beautiful. I wanted to sob my eyes out by the end. Highly recommended if you've not seen it yet. Incredible acting, directing and editing.
It's strange to see Paul and not Callum, as in it's weird to see him just being a happy person with good mental health. He acts so well, genuinely amazing portrail of unstable mental health seeping through the cracks but trying to appear normal
If you haven’t already watched, I would highly recommend giving Normal People a shot. Paul is brilliant in the show alongside Daisy Edgar-Jones, and shows a similar level of emotional nuance in playing Connell to that of Calum. Fantastic show, fantastic actor.
frankie goes to my school and she is SUCH a diva. she is rude to her friends and is stuck up acts better that everyone. a teacher or smthin tells her what to do and she says NO BC IN FAMOUS.. like ummm
… by the end this movie really crushed me. So much sadness in this story, and it all comes to overwhelm you within the last few minutes. Also this was the last day it was shown in my city. I was glad to see there was not one vacant seat left in the theater.
A lovely nonsensationalized conversation (interview). Thank you. I’m sure I’d have listened through also without any background music, at all. So refreshing. Comes to mind, 2 countries that inundate us with over sensationals: Italy v USA. Which camp do you support? Italy? Nope. Of the 2, the US is a campfire singing sweet lullabies.
I couldn't stop crying in this scene. With this scene, I fully sympathized with the feelings of the two characters. I could understand the message the director was trying to convey at once. Of course, the power of music played a part.
Such a beautiful film. All the intricacies and small details, and tension percolating beneath the surface. And it's hard to believe the two leads aren't related. And the ending is chefs kiss. Totally devastating. Definitely the film of 2022.
What a beautiful, over whelming yet precious film, every detail and moment shown takes to a special place, where you meet nostalgia, sadness, desperation and love too.
