Earthquake Bird

Wo die Erde bebt (Earthquake Bird) ist ein Mysteryfilm von Wash Westmoreland. Der Film basiert auf dem gleichnamigen Roman von Susanna Jones… Während sie als Übersetzerin in Japan arbeitet, verliebt sich eine Frau in einen Fotografen… Eine ungewöhnlich langsame, aber fesselnde Geschichte, die uns Einblick in die japanische Kultur gewährt. Eine perfekt artikulierte Charakterstudie über eine toxische Dreiecksbeziehung… Ein Psychodrama mit einer guten Schauspielerischen Leistung, das für mich aber sehr langatmig inszeniert ist…

This movie was so bad and uninteresting I cannot believe it was made. The story was dull and unexciting, there was also very little build up for a film that is considered a thriller. But the acting was very good, especially from Alicia Vikander whose acting is always phenomenal. Also, the cinematography was very good; those are the only positives in this film.

Felt new and different. Definity worth a watch. Just fell a little short of great. Needed a little more development.

The story is kind of all over the place, but the acting is really strong.

Vikander has been running from death...and now in Japan, she's caught between bad fortune and the fate of a new lover she can't seem to shake. Interesting elements blended well by Scott.

It was very poetic. I think it was enjoyable because it was difficult to grasp until he end. The aesthetics were well in sync.

Psychological drama with great performances.

An odd mystery/thriller. I've appreciated the work of Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina, The Danish Girl & Tomb Raider 2). She is a bit of an 'odd bird', or at least her roles would suggest that. It was reasonably well done.

(CAUTION, must watch this movie in the afternoon on an uncomfortable chair with a cup of coffee on the side), it's a slooooow moving, moody, depressed film. With a somber Alicia Vikander in need of Prozac and two Japanese keystone cops who never bothered to search the home of a prime suspect to Riley Keough disappearance/murder.

Alicia Vikander is amazing dramatic actress! Her talent is best revealed in such non-commercial movies ...
