Chill Pill Film : Wicker Park Released : 2004
Film Review
Wicker Park is an American psychological drama/romantic mystery remake of a French film starring Josh Hartnett, Rose Byrne & my personal favourite, Diane Kruger. It is difficult to review because giving away a slightest detail would spoil the movie for those who have not seen it. In a nut-shell, the movie is a mind-boggling and gut-wrenching. Yet, it seduces you with it’s brilliantly ingenious plot that leads you to believe something for five minutes and comes back to hurl questions at your little theories. I remember watching this the first time round and was utterly captivated despite being in the dark all the way through. Although the film setting does not revolve around Christmas, its message however, is consistent – If you truly love someone, be willful, be headstrong and never give up on them. Shower the ones who matter to you with appreciation; especially at this time of year. "Believe me, this film will leave an indelible imprint on you, or at least in the way you would want to cherish those who are important in your life" ps The soundtrack is to die for. Happy Christmas everyone!
