The Lost City (2005)
6/10
some beautiful cinematography and some terrible writing
25 August 2006
This movie definitely has some strong points. There is some stunning cinematography and a few amazing sequences that depict quite beautifully the trauma of the revolution on one Cuban family...But OH MY GOD, some of the writing is just awful, especially for female characters. The female characters are so two dimensional, shallow and unbelievable. I found myself rolling my eyes throughout the movie at the words uttered by and to them "You don't have to be sad, you just have to be beautiful."...or something like that. Terrible. The plot is also quite disjointed and awkward and it goes on too long. I am on the verge of saying don't bother seeing this movie, but for the few strengths mentioned earlier it is probably worth checking out.
