Die Wildente (2015)
60KDie Wildente: Directed by Simon Stone. With Geoffrey Rush, Nicholas Hope, Sam Neill, Ewen Leslie. The story follows a man who returns home to discover a long-buried family secret, and whose attempts to put things right threaten the lives of those he left home years before.
“Solid generational drama with real, palpable narrative momentum. The actors were fabulous, it looks fantastic, and the script is top notch. It doesnu0026#39;t hurt to have Ibsen behind you, but this movie goes far beyond the constrictions of a stage production. The only real problem for this movie is the obviousness of the premise from very early on. Some of the drama is leaked out of the story because of this. Itu0026#39;s still a worthwhile watch though, because itu0026#39;s carried off quite well. The lack of suspense of what the situation is becomes the suspense of what the characters are going to do about it when it plays itself out. And unlike many other movies with this structure, the actors are all up to the task.”
