One word: UNCOMFORTABLE‼️ | The Tearsmith movie review

As for my thoughts on the characters in this film: Nica: she is timid and shy but I think there's more to her character under the surface it's just unfortunately happens to be covered by years of trauma. And in the film Rigel calls her "Falena" which translated in English means moth and the reason he calls her that is because like a mother she is constantly looking for a bright light in her life to help escape the darkness that she is surrounded by. Rigel: he intrigues me the most although he is set to play the the emotionally unavailable, emotionally scarred, cold, mysterious and broody love interested in this story, I can't help but wonder why he feels as if he can't be with Nica and why he believes he is undeserving of love considering everything he did to make sure that Nica was safe, and I am of the opinion that miss Margret is Rigel's biological mother and that's why she was so kind to him. I want to know why the piano is so special to him. And in my personal opinion his fighting skills couldn't use a little work 😅 Lionel: I hoped he would be different but to be honest with you consider the fact that he was friend's with the guy that Rigel got into a fight with I'm not surprised by Lionel's actions

Margaret being Rigel's biological mother would be plot twist of the century! But it would definitely explain the special treatment towards him. Honestly, the characters in this movie are all so flawed, and there just wasn't enough time to fully explore those flaws and explain why the kids are the way they are

And like I mentioned before the general pacing of the movie was just off, like in my opinion it started off a little slow, in terms of the storyline there wasn't much going on and then about half way through the movie the everything is happening all at once and you are just left there wonder what the hell did I just watch

I agree 100% The pacing definitely got me coz it had me questioning if I wasn't paying attention or something coz nothing was happening, and then 2 seconds later, everything is happening all at once

My problem with this film is that you don't get a proper introduction to the characters in the film and we don't get a background on some of the characters outside of Nica but that's just because she is the main character in the story, but just to provide you with some examples, all we know about Nica is that her parents died in a car accident and for that reason she became an orphan and had no choice but to go to the grave where she met Adeline who is her only friend, she hates/ is scared of wolfs, she seems to be interested in biology as a subject, she likes animals and she is attracted to Rigel. We don't get know Rigel's backstory is or why miss Margret is kind to him or what medical condition he has, we don't find out what happened to the foster parents biological son, about the relationship between those two girls Nica befriends at school, why Lionel was interested in Nica, what happened with the case against miss Margret

You are raising some very important questions here... there was simply too many gaps in the story It was very evident that the story is just to large and complicated for a movie that isn't even 2 hours long
