Movie #1754 "The Clouds of Sils Maria" was an unusual film for me to watch. I only turned to it because of the 3 female leads ---- I like them all (Binoche, Stewart, and Moretz) and I did enjoy watching them wield their way through this enigmatic script that I can't say I liked. There were parts that were effective to me --- like the rehearsing between Stewart and Binoche, and the high point being kind of a surprise to me, but I disliked the ending --- I felt that should have had more explanation there, and also throughout the film. It's a movie I wish I had seen with someone else, and if anyone reading this has seen the film and wants to talk about it, I would love to discuss it in more detail because there was much floating up in the air here. It's a twist on "All About Eve" and any other film that has actors working on scripts that mirror relationships they have in life --- but I really didn't need to see it because I didn't enjoy it much in the viewing. I'd give it a 3, only because the acting was so good, and the "snake" of clouds coming over the water was quite a shot!

Genres: French Movies, Dramas, International Dramas --- this movie is understated (I totally agree because I wanted more stated!)
I streamed this from Netflix.
