"Melancholia" review



The very idea of a large planet striking the Earth to many is absurd, but always possible. This concept gave many a person chilling thoughts after watching Melancholia, myself included. The inevitability of it all is something we would have to accept, rather than panicking about it as Claire did in part 2.

The first 10 minutes or so of this movie is somewhat confusing, with a huge montage of slow motion shots basically showing us how the movie unfolds and what is to be expected should this event ever occur. Personally, I found part 1 to be mildly boring for the most part with the wedding dragging out longer than necessary. The end of part 1 and the entirety of part 2 was absolutely brilliant, 4/5 stars.
