![]() We girls are more like Daphne than we would like to admit. Who would do this? It's not just her child. Frank clearly mentioned he wants to be a dad. All she cared about was herself - not even in a good way, I must add - and that is something I can't accept. She slept with these two naïve idiots, not using protection, she didn't seem to want any of them to be around their child. I also didn't like how reckless Daphne behaved. Literally nothing positive came out of it. ![]() None of them had a background, none of them evolved during the story. Maybe that's way I didn't get the characters. It got nice colors and sets, but I always had the feeling I missed out on something. Like I mentioned above, the summary sounds interesting. But we all have baggage which hunts us, right? The plot. While I thought he was great on ONCE he did disappoint me for choosing 50 shades over it. The casting choices made aren't bad, although I have mixed feelings when it comes to Jamie Dornan. First off, the IMDb's summary is much more interesting than the movie. This movie made me so angry that I don't think I can watch a movie with Shailene Woodley ever again. This is a hipster melodrama of the boring kind. She does need a more discriminating eye for the material. As for Shailene, I applaud her attempts at being a little different than the constant MPDG. That may or may not be his fault but it is definitely unavoidable. With Dornan, I'm just reminded of 50 Shades and that's not a good thing. I don't care about them and I don't really know the guys. I have nothing to cling to with these characters. I would have quit after thirty minutes if it isn't against my policy. The hipster colorized text is harder to read and is simpler trying too hard. On a minor note, I don't like the text style. It's a lot of hot people having boring melodramas. Daphne is aimless and it makes for an aimless watch. The story is aimless which seems to be the point. ![]() She meets Jack (Jamie Dornan) and Frank (Sebastian Stan) at a party. She's living under her sister Billie (Lindsay Sloane) and her family. She's struggling to find a job and vows to stop drinking. Stan does well as a sly charmer, while Dornan has the drier part of playing solid and dependable.Daphne Mirador (Shailene Woodley) decides to take a six-months break after a four year relationship with Adrian (Matthew Gray Gubler). Woodley often plays in a similar register of sullen and withdrawn as her character on TV’s “Big Little Lies,” but rather than the underlying rage of that performance, here she fills it with a light trying to peek out from behind the clouds. “Endings, Beginnings” comes down to the strengths of its central trio and all three are compelling performers in their own way. The sequences also start to feel padded, as if there wasn’t enough movie to go around. With stronger material to start with, the actors might have conveyed the film’s scenario more convincingly.ĭoremus also over-relies on montages to fill in the gaps between proper scenes and in the characters’ developing relationships. The film’s languid tone of post-sex haze and late-afternoon sunshine comes across as limp and underdeveloped, leaving the actors, not the characters, frequently seeming lost and unsure of themselves within the scenes. Though with a screenplay credited to Doremus and novelist Jardine Libaire, the film is reported to be semi-improvised, much to its detriment. When it turns out they are close friends, a complicated situation becomes even trickier. Naturally, she soon meets both the stable Jack (Jamie Dornan) and unpredictable Frank (Sebastian Stan) and finds herself equally drawn to them. Daphne ( Shailene Woodley) breaks up with her long-time boyfriend, quits her job and moves into her sister’s poolhouse all in one week, vowing off men and alcohol for six months. Directed by Drake Doremus, “Endings, Beginnings” is set amid a familiar world of young creative types in Los Angeles.
