Enduring Love plot
"Unexpected. Unpredictable. Uncontrollable. A deadly obsession takes hold."
Joe and Claire's romantic picnic takes a dramatic turn when a group of balloonists find themselves in distress and Joe and a few other attendees must lend a helping hand. It results in a terrible accident. In the aftermath, Joe has a lot to do with fellow lifesaver Jed. Claire initially supports Joe in his processing. But his growing obsession with the cause of the accident and his sense of guilt puts their relationship under strain. And when Jed goes deeper and deeper into Joe's life, Joe gets very close to a total breakdown.

The film starts off strong, with a chilling opening scene. The elaboration of the given is done intelligently and convincingly, but the film does not quite get off the ground. In any case, it's not the actors' fault; Craig in particular is excellent in the lead role. The camera work is also very nice. The climax comes a bit out of the blue and the strange role of Rhys Ifans is also not completely clear. Furthermore, the music is at times way too intrusive and dominating, sometimes so much so that the dialogues are almost drowned out by it.

Difficult to say anything about this. In the end, I liked the film, but somehow it didn't. Maybe because the expectation that Jed would be a fabrication of Joe didn't materialize. The beginning was interesting. The shots on the field looked nice and had appropriate music. The main plot after the accident is done quite nicely. I love when Rhys Ifans plays such wacky characters. Everything that happens around it is a lot less interesting. The decoration could have been better in my opinion, but in any case this was already a lot better than the dramatic Changing Lanes.

Psychological drama film. The film starts sweetly in the countryside, but then the balloon drama Joe turns his life upside down. Joe suffers from PTSD and finds himself trapped by a huge sense of guilt. He does a complete analysis, which ultimately solves nothing. An oppressive atmosphere is created by Jed's persistent advances, which at one point are really unhealthy. Joe is constantly on the run and teetering on the brink of madness. In the end, it cannot remain without consequences and the gruesome climax follows...... Film ends again with the charming countryside, where it all began. But the people involved in the film will never be the same again. Well acted and realistic! As soon as the credits start, just wait for the unexpected ending of the film!
