Ein einziger Augenblick (2007)
16KEin einziger Augenblick: Directed by Terry George. With Joaquin Phoenix, Elle Fanning, Jennifer Connelly, Sean Curley. The lives of two families change forever after a fatal tragedy takes place on Reservation Road.
“I didnu0026#39;t know what u0026quot;Reservation Roadu0026quot; was about when I started watching it. Not knowing the plot makes the movie hit you more. After an unfortunate event, the two families involved (neither of whom knows who the other is) inadvertently become more and more intertwined. Each time that another link gets revealed, you know that youu0026#39;re getting closer and closer to something ugly.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe characters, although not the best that Iu0026#39;ve seen in movies, were certainly worthwhile. Ethan Learner (Joaquin Phoenix) remains totally despondent about his sonu0026#39;s death and the fact that the killer hasnu0026#39;t been caught. Ethanu0026#39;s wife Grace (Jennifer Connelly) wants to move on with her life and finds it regrettable that Ethan obsesses on one topic. Dwight Arno (Mark Ruffalo), who caused the accident, spends most of the movie bothered by his actions and wanting to right the wrongs, but worried about what might result. At times, each of the characters come across as somewhat repulsive, but you still understand why they behave as they do.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSome people might liken this movie to u0026quot;In the Bedroomu0026quot; and u0026quot;Mystic Riveru0026quot;. u0026quot;Reservation Roadu0026quot; certainly deals with similar themes, although I wouldnu0026#39;t actually put it in the same league as those other two. This movie seems a little bit more sensationalistic, and as though itu0026#39;s trying to do the same as the other two. But overall, I thought that itu0026#39;s a good movie, and I would recommend it. Also starring Mira Sorvino and Elle Fanning.”
