Lore 2017

 

Unkillable, Terror-stricken and lost/ Oh so lost!

This movie at its core is about the journey of grief, survival after death and how no lore should ever be discounted. 

In the movie Lore, a woman travels to a forest on a protected range in search of her missing son. With her she has two travel companions, her ex husband and the man who has agreed to help them to navigate the forest and the local traditions and superstitions. 

Entering the reserve we see that the main character has not yet accepted the possibility of her sons death. As the movie progresses her hope and belief grows while the people around her start to see the hopelessness of their situation. In Lore the mythical becomes true and we learn not to discount any one peoples lore as myth/legend as it often has roots we cannot see. 

This movie was so well done and the acting truly impressed me yet when it came to the ending I was left disappointed and hollow as it firstly didn't make sense and secondly it was so ambiguous that the end was just plainly disappointing and felt rushed. 

This could have been a stupendous movie if the ending didn't let it down. In my eyes it went from a solid 4 star, potential 5 star movie if the end was good, to a 3 star movie just due to disappointment in the ending.
