Review: The film “Strayed” is interesting, and very well-shot camera work deserves special attention. It could look just for aesthetic pleasure: a beautiful picture, good camera angles and nice actors, but the story itself does not disappoint. The history of relations between strangers written and performed excellently.
As for the actors I never liked Emanuel Bear, but this time she surprised and the game, and a way, different from all previous ones. Gaspard Ulliel was also at a height that in general, is confirmed by Cesar nomination for Actor category-Hope. Despite his young age (he is only a year older than his character, that is, he is 18) Gaspar was able to convey the complexity of Ivan.
Thin and emotional game creates a certain mood, rather unusual for a tape of the war. Of course the movie Strayed is not a complex plot, some consider it a minus, but in my opinion a measured action only blurs the line between fiction and reality.
