Christina (2010)
Thought-provoking, but dark.

Indie films usually stink. Not this one… The acting was okay in this movie. Actually, it was superb. Stephen Lang, especially, was wonderful. I found the American guy rather pointless. The movie could have left without him and it wouldn't have changed too much. The dialog is a bit cheesy and romanticized, but gets the emotions across. Christina is definitely a physiological drama. The plot was surprisingly solid. It may seem pointless and quite boring, but if you have patience, the movie develops nicely. The lighting and colors added to the drama and reminded me of Hitchcock. This movie was low…low, low, low budget, but you didn't really notice. It all took place in one room and there were basically only three people in it. An interesting picture of post-war Germany is painted. I found it very interesting. This film was unpredictable, disturbing, and thought-provoking. I didn't LIKE it, but I don't have any complaints. I wouldn't see it again. I would suggest this may disturb children.
