Restless

This is the bet movie of all time. It is so amazing. I could not stop watching it.

I loved everything about this movie! The sound track was wonderful and I love how they turn a sad topic into something that's beautiful and happy

I really love this movie. It made me think about hiw short life is and how you should spend it and appreciate what you have right now...

I am not sure why it got bad reviews from the critics. I really enjoyed this movie from the start and thought the acting and story were both really well done. From about two minutes into the movie I was interested and the story kept me interested thoughout the entire film. The filming was great, the characters were perfect, and the story was so compelling. It is a film I would watch again, it was really good!

mia wasikowska did a wonderful job in this moive

I think this movie is beautiful in romance and in death. No matter your age, this film is touching to anyone with an empathetic heart. This film evokes real emotion in me every time I watch, and that is a sign of a terrific story.

Gus Van Sant (To Die For, Good Will Hunting) casts a bittersweet and magical spell in Restless, a film in the tradition of Harold and Maude. Restless explores death--wrestling with one's mortality, its effect on those left behind--in such an incredible, gentle, tender way. Certain cynical critics have dismissed the film as a too-twee bonbon, but it is clear in every scene, every frame, Van Sant has a deep respect for and understanding of youthful angst, longing, and emotional complexity. Rare are veteran directors who can capture with such accuracy and poignancy what is to be young, to go through those alternating, intense moments of bliss and ennui and terror which define one's coming-of-age, as well as Van Sant. Both lead performances are excellent. Between In Treatment, The Kids Are All Right, and last year's sublime version of Jane Eyre, Mia Wasikowska's effortlessness and classical grace, her innate ability to bring dignity and vulnerability to any character without ever raising her voice or resorting to actor's-studio artifice, is well-known. This might be the best performance yet in a destined-to-be-legendary career. Henry Hopper, too, impresses. Bearing a resemblance to his father (as well as, in my opinion at least, James Franco), he has a compelling intensity and quirkiness and knows when to push further, to let everything rush forth, and when to restrain himself and limit expression to his eyes. It will be exciting to see what he does next. With an impeccable soundtrack--including several cuts by indie pop great Sufjan Stevens and opening with Beatles classic "Two of Us" (the real recording rather than a cover, a relative rarity)--Restless floats along in the best possible way, engaging the heart and the mind. Death, friendship, romance, holding tight, letting go, the change of the season, remembering. This gem expertly captures the elegant, markedly brief conversation between life and death which constitutes a human life. A must-see.
