Review of 45 Years

45 Years (2015)
3/10
Worst movie of the year
25 September 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Probably the worst movie I've seen all year. Tedious, boring, unfocused, no storyline pretty much sums it up.

Geoff gets a letter from Switzerland stating that the body of his former girlfriend Katya who fell off a cliff 50 years ago was found in a glacier. This news and Geoff's memories of the event terribly upset his current wife, Kate.

The movie basically lacks any type of story or storyline. I was expecting Geoff to go to Switzerland, I was expecting the marriage of the two to end in a divorce, I was expecting all kinds of things but the movie gives you none of it.

This story of Kate's jealousy basically lingers on for exactly 93 minutes (I was checking my watch about every 5 minutes, whenever I was able to keep my eyes open). People around me fell asleep during the movie as well. In all those 93 minutes however there is nothing which really happens, just her getting more and more jealous without any apparent reason, even at the final wedding party where Geoff makes an emotional and beautiful speech, she is still jealous.

3 out of 10 because the acting was more than decent and for showing us England's beauty.
