The Keeping Hours (2017) Reviews

• Love, Loss and Forgiveness

  crawfoc99-12018-07-27

  This is a lovely, thoughtful movie about love, loss and forgiveness. Beautifully filmed in a loving, slow paced way. It's a movie you just go into with no expectations and it finds a home within you. Characterisations are well written and Sander Thomas is such a find as Jacob. Both Lee Pace and Carrie Coon are excellent in their respective roles. I know that this is a movie I'll watch time and again. Subtle, soft and moving.

• Beautiful heart warming story.

  This is certainly not a horror story, but very much a love story. I'm not usually into love stories but the ghostly element persuaded me to have a look, and I'm so glad that I did. It is beautifully filmed and produced, and the acting is great. The plot is quite original and has a simplistic appeal leading up to an unexpected twist at the end. Life goes on even after great tragedy, but still one can find beauty and love. Be prepared to shed a tear or two!

  That I only cried about 6 times while watching this movie. All jokes aside, (I did actually, cry though.) This movie exceeded all of my expectations. 100% recommend you watch this. Btw, to anyone interested in watching this movie, Please do ignore the negative reviews below. People tend to review a movie on how they wanted it to be, or how they wish it went, instead of reviewing the movie as it's own. So, example, it's set as a drama/horror/romance movie, (in this case) and people are leaving bad reviews because they "wished it was a horror movie" and that they "wasted their time". Well, to this kind of people I wish to say: Maybe watch a movie that's only set as a horror movie, next time? OR, maybe go read other reviews before watching. Thanks.

  Tender and painful, beautifully executed movie. Not a typical "horror" movie but eerie enough to keep me watching. Characters are well played, and captured that feeling we all have from time to time, that it's "hard to move on".

  A story has that much of fancy but can makes you feel that much of loving your reality and keeps you in that positive energy and thinking to be more happy with what you already have....
