Leave your thoughts about The Penitent Man.
| User ReviewChris JReally thought provoking movie. Lots of symbolism and hidden messages. |
| User ReviewJohn AWhile the overall plot is clear from the onset (intentionally so I'd imagine), the story is still compelling. This is not a sci-fi time travel movie, it merely uses the premises of science fiction as a backdrop to delve into human nature, regret and optimism. This was an excellent film well worth your time. |
| User ReviewSandy Sati TThis was surprisingly good. Very good, in fact. You find yourself trying to bend your mind around the possibilities of time travel as well as put yourself in Dr Pyatt's shoes - i.e. how would you respond? Great twist at the end. Must have made this on a shoe string budget as 90% of the movie is two people sitting across from each other talking. |
| User ReviewDebra OGreat film. It is understated and not given the recognition that it deserves. The actors need to be given bigger parts to show case their talents. |
| User ReviewMike EAn old idea recycled in an appealing version. Good performances. Decent script. Ponderous direction and score. |
| User ReviewA SGood science fiction story. Really bad background sound track choices make it difficult to hear much less enjoy this film. Lance Henriksen delivers consistently. |
| User ReviewS GI really wanted to like this, but there was just so much cheese. Great handling of timeline and good pace revealing the details, but everything was revealed in a bit of a heavy handed way. It is quite rare to see an American movie without a happy ending (my take). I dont know if it's Lathrop Walkers acting or the lines he had to deliver, but he came off, to me, as a daytime soap opera actor. Henriksen gave a great performance, but his lines were only a little better. The relationships between the characters seemed hollow or superficial, like something out of a bad, early 90s flick. Lots of questions remained unanswered and the conclusion was disappointing. I think my biggest problem with this movie is that the subject is so complex and has so much potential, but the story mainly tries to simplify what might be confusing. You dont always have to spell everything out to the average Joe/Jane. Let people get curious and start asking questions. |
| User ReviewRichard LNot intelligent and hardly a movie. Movies that focus on conversation over any action at all must have something else going on for them to be engaging: amazing actors who turn their words into weapons and roses, beautiful cinematography telling a story that parallels the dialogue, etc. Movies that focus on time travel must bring something new to the table: a different take, higher intelligence level than most, a lot of heart so that your heart is ripped out in the end, etc. And movies that want you to believe that he did it all for the love of a woman must have a woman the audience can fall in love with, too, not one who shrilling becomes the cause for all the pain that follows (unexpectedly, too, because she is a completely different character before that moment occurs). Also, filming a bunch of science books and images of famous scientists does not immediately give a character credentials. The lead does nothing to demonstrate he has any interest or understanding of science despite characters repeatedly telling us he does. Seems like to me he knows more about basketball (without having any game) and homoerotic chitchat with his best friend than he does about anything else, including science, psychology, and being a good friend and husband. Want to see how a conversation/science fiction movie is really done? "The Man From Earth". |
| User ReviewPeter SImagine being stuck on a plane traveling across the Pacific for 14 hours with a thoroughly boring and self-absorbed person telling the story of their life in a complete monotone. That is a metaphor for my experience of this movie. Truly awful! |
