Year of first release: 2013
Director: Paul Haggis
Actors: Liam Neeson, Olivia Wilde, Adrien Brody, Moran Atias, Mila Kunis, James Franco

Genre: Drama
Conditions of visioning: 17.11.2014, Schauburg, OV sneak preview
Synopsis: Michael (Liam Neeson) is an author who has holed himself up in a hotel suite in Paris to finish his book. He is having an affair with Anna (Olivia Wilde), who wants to write and publish fiction. There are also two other stories, in Rome and in New-York.
Review: The stories are not very captivating in the first hour. Then it drifts to induce mystery about the reality of the stories, a bit like the recently seen Blind. It is here again difficult to know whether these stories are written by the protagonist or are thoughts or memories and this is actually the interesting part of the movie. But the introduction is far far too long! 
The acting is good but the roles lack of interest to me. Keeping only a short intro of 10 minutes and the last 30 minutes of the movie would have increased my rating by much. It makes me confirm that I really recommend Blind!

Rating: 3 /10
