    The Words

    by NewZealandkiwi

    Really super movie. If you like fast-paced action-type movies, this movie is probably not for you. At times it moves rather slowly but not so that it's boring. Great storyline and concept and loved the way it moved back and forth in time with intriguing storylines in each. Super acting and riveting as far as wondering what was going to happen next. Enjoyed it very much.

    Bradley Cooper's best movie yet, hands down! Don't believe the critics. Yes, the plot has twists and turns, is very interesting, and by the end of the movie it makes complete sense. Very well produced with great performances by all players. It appears that some of the critics didn't see the whole flick, or maybe too brain dead to follow it. Don't miss!

    what a waste of talent...

    by SweetDreamTATI

    this movie is a story within a story within a story... and isn't clever. the dennis quaid and olivia wilde story is forced and annoying; this whole story could have been cut and maybe had made the film better but then there are the other parts of the story that have problems; zoe's character is self-centered and i don't think as an audience member i'm supposed to think this- i think they were going for a couple that is a partnership more of a unit than 2 individuals in a relationship but i never think of them as an unbreakable team; so her reactions to his emotions and problems just come across as self-absorbed and kind of selfish... so i didn't care about them. then the 3rd story - its the most compelling and just wish they had made different choices with the actors (why is younger Jeremy irons' character speaking with an amercian accent; this is explained away by being born in london; i guess so the older jeremy irons can have an british accent; i guess accents develop with age.

    was expecting more

    by vogueinthemaking

    This film did not live up to its expectations. Just a bland film overall.

    Interesting

    by cbazchin

    The device used to tell the story is very interesting. The ending is a little unfinished somehow, but on reflection, perhaps it should be.

    I was not really impressed with this movie. The movie was way no slow and I personally did not care for it. I would not recommend this movie to a friend that is for sure. I was almost to the point of leaving about half way through the movie. I was a little bored to say the least!
    See at your own risk. Just wish I would not have paid so much to see this show.

    Hubby and I enjoyed the movie. Good story line and not predictable. I would have changed the ending - although we talked it through and decided on a better ending. Other people leaving the theater where talking about the ending too - so it wasn't that we missed something.

    I would tell my friends to see it.

    Pretty good start. Sub-par ending

    by

    I enjoyed the movie, but the 3 separate stories didn't intertwine enough. Also, the ending was a serious let-down.

    Much more than the obvious

    by Santiago - MAKiiNA

    The marketing machinery behind this film would have you believe this is some kind of romantic film. And they are right as far as the "some kind" is concerned. However this is much more than the simple premise of love amongst people.
    The Words turns out to be more of a psychological exploration in the exercise of denial and solitude. Although the pieces are hard to put together before the very last sixty seconds of the film.

    Wonderful surprise!

    by SQ44

    What a clever story. Yes, it is a story within a story. I am a big Jeremy Irons fan & he did not disappoint me at all! The acting (by all) is excellent. I loved the little twists & turns as the movie developed. I think the critics underestimated this movie - it is definitely 2 1/2 - 3 ***.
