“It truly breaks my heart that you haven’t enjoyed your stay,” he utters defeatedly. Nothing positive will follow.)ījørn encounters a shell-shocked Patrick. Do not, under any circumstances, head back to the home of a family you met on holiday in order to retrieve said stuffed animal. (Important lesson for parents: Either buy two of your child’s beloved stuffies, or be prepared to hold your ground amidst an onslaught of tears should it get left behind. The family departs, undetected, until a seemingly left-behind stuffed bunny causes a guilt-ridden Bjørn to turn back. “Nothing’s going to happen to you.” After an off-putting parents’-night-out, Louise has had enough. “You’re with mom and dad now,” Lousie tells Agnes. Still, some elements rub Louise the wrong way and Agnes is frightened to sleep in Abel’s room. If the house is a bit cramped, its vibes are lovely. Even Abel, who is unable to speak-Patrick explains that “he was born without a tongue, or a smaller tongue than you and me”-is said to be anxiously anticipating a visit from Agnes. The families become fast friends, and when their Dutch counterparts invite Bjørn, Louise, and Agnes to visit it seems like a welcome getaway. They are the affable Patrick (Fedja van Huêt), Karin (Karina Smulders), and their little boy, Abel (Marius Damslev). At the pool, at dinner, and then on the street, the trio come into contact with a family from the Netherlands. It opens in idyllic Tuscany as Bjørn (Morten Burian) and Louise (Sidsel Siem Koch) watch their young daughter Agnes (Liva Forsberg) swim with glee.
Still, that ending-about which more shortly-is so powerful that such issues are likely forgotten. (Naming these would spoil the final stretch.) Some sizable plot holes lead to an ending with more questions than answers. Evil is ultimately revealed to be a horror film rooted in some key societal issues. Its tone slowly shifts, growing darker and stranger. For more than half the film, Speak No Evil plays as dark comedy of manners, Ruben Östlund-style. It’s the third feature from Tafdrup, a Danish writer-director who co-penned Evil with his brother, Mads Tafdrup. But what it lacks in originality is compensated in chilling execution. Speak No Evil does not reach the level of ingenuity and freshness found in those similarly potent antecedents. The latest from Christian Tafdrup has the brutal shock value of George Sluizer’s The Vanishing and gut-punching, visceral impact of Haneke’s Funny Games. Audiences who catch this Sundance entry from Denmark should be warned: this one’s gonna hurt. There’s no getting around the upset factor. It's a good drama overall and when it comes down to it, definitely worth the watch.Speak No Evil is terrifying, shocking, and deeply, deeply unsettling. I could rewatch Jerry Yan's scenes with his child and Wu Tong but the rest I would definitely skip in the second round (if there is one). This was my third Chinese drama (I think) and although these dramas are longer in terms of episodes, they're enjoyable. My personal favorite was the special assistant. Nothing compared to Xaio Le obviously (Xaio Le was too classic). I mean, she was the sweet, innocent, perfect lead after all. But anyways her character wasn't entirely hate-worthy. She never got rid of those heels (and how did she afford them anyway since she barely managed to earn her living).
If I got a penny for every time she fell down, I would be a millionaire. I'm kind of used to strong drama female leads now and characters like her make me want to roll my eyes at them every minute. She's the perfect damsel-in-distress, something that ticked me off a bit. I liked him here and he definitely stole the show! Wu Tong is really clumsy and at times, really stupid. Here, he's a cold, ruthless businessman who does not believe in love or marriage. His character here is quite different from the immature-but-funny-and-sweet brats he generally plays. Jerry Yan is one of the most handsome Taiwanese actors and I have watched him in a few dramas. The plot has some ridiculous, rather-makjang elements but overall it's a heart-warming story. Imagine saving a little boy in an accident and finding out he's your son, even though you can't even recognize the mother! This drama follows these two people as they fall in love and truly become a real family. It's about two strangers who have a one-night stand and the man doesn't even remember the woman. Loving Never Forgetting is not about two people in love who have a baby. The plot is a little similar to Autumn's Concerto and Autumn's Concerto fans would certainly enjoy, if not as much as AC. Rewatch Value 6.0 I waited for this drama to be subbed for about half a year and it was worth it.
