The director of “A Cure for Wellness” is very skilled at cinematography, but he just could not let go of his obsession with keeping a graphic, pornographic, incestuous sex scene in the film. This involved an underaged teen girl portrayed by an actress who looks underaged (but isn’t). I think that one scene, from what I’ve heard, is what got the film an R-rating and also caused it to be panned by critics and movie-goers alike.
“Unforgettable” was forgettable. Or rather I was going to see it and forgot to. Actually, I remembered not to see it. Or something like that. I didn’t go to the theater for any of these films, and almost no films Hollywood makes motivates me enough to go to the theater any more.
A lot of malaise -- not necessarily a bad thing for a semi-European film -- and then some kind of buried evil at the end that seemed too cliched and unconvincing.
I only saw a few minutes of Unforgettable. It seemed like one of those persecutor and victim Lifetime TV movies -- warmed over Fatal Attraction.
Lifetime churns out ten or twenty a year. Why anybody would rent or screen or go to a theater to see one is beyond me.
