Let the Right One In (2008)
4/10
I was looking forward to seeing this film, as I heard it was really good. I give the film credit for aspects of originality in setting, pace, premise and icy mood. It was very subtle in it's directorial approach, and that sort of new realism in speaking lines sparely and nonchalantly. I appreciate a film with subtly and one that allows me to form my own opinions about characters, but there wasn't enough there for me -- the characters were too cold and inaccessible, and the story too recessed. Maybe one has to be in the mood for this style. I didn't really care about the boy, girl, guardian or mother -- and so there was no film for me.
