Review

 

A haunting, eerie journey to a place where souls stir and hearts go to mend themselves, Genova is the dark, brooding voyage of discovery for one family, torn apart by tragedy.

With its sun drenched vistas and shadow-cloaked alleyways, and Italian town of Genova provides a fresh start for Joe and his two young daughters. Seeking new lives after the sudden death of their mother they're all looking for something. As Joe throws himself into study and possible new relationships, the teenage Kelly loses herself in the underbelly of this mysterious new world.

But it's youngest daughter Mary who is affected by this mystifying and alluring paradise. And then she sees the ghost of her mother wandering the streets...

With echoes of Nicholas Roeg's seminal Don't Look Now, this acclaimed, stunning new film from the multi-award winning Michael Winterbottom (A Mighty Heart) stars Colin Firth (Mama Mia), Catherine Keener (Being John Malkovich), Hope Davis (Synecdoche, New York), Willa Holland (The O.C.) and Perla Haney-Jardine (Kill Bill Vol. 2)

Watched this film with a couple of friends, and all of us expressed the same opinion ... it was the most boring film we've ever seen ... no storyline, and utterly disappointing!!

Customer rating: 1 out of 5 stars Rubbish

A completely misleading description on the cover of the DVD....it was so bad that I made myself sit through the entire dreary, irratating film in hope that something was going to happen which would have made it into somekind of supernatural tense and gripping film it was made out to be. If you are reading this before buying the film then I would honestly say dont waste a penny of your money.....rubbish:(
