Angel of Mine (2019)

What a fantastic movie. You know the synopsis by now and you have heard complaints of slow paced first half. Ignore that because the pay off is worth it. I am not going to give you a clue just trust me. The one point I will make is that in the wrong hands and with the wrong cast this could have backfired but this is in perfect tune with incredible performances by all. I mean stunning, award winning level. Not just Noomi Rapace but Yvonne Strahovski too. I suspect they helped each other tremendously because their interactions are so believable to watch. If you are deciding to watch it just do it, it is a little gem.

Fmovies: I am so glad that I checked this out. This is a slow burner that delivers. It is well acted and the story is well constructed. There is a great amount of tension throughout and while it doesn't have a lot of dialogue or backstory, the atmosphere totally draws you in and keeps you interested. The best part of this is believing you have it all figured out then being smacked with something you couldn't, or at least I couldn't, see coming. That qualifies it as awesome for me.

If you like thrillers, check it out. If you are a mom, check it out. It is so worth it.

Noomi Rapace plays a grieving mother whose daughter was killed at the hospital she was born in, now believes that after seeing a little girl at a party she takes her son to, is in fact her deceased daughter and from there begins the unfolding of this suspense story of psychological chaos with a superb twist in the end. 2019 has not put out any films to write home about, but if I was to write about one, Angel of mine would definitely be one of them. This was a very good watch. In a word... awesome!

Angel of Mine fmovies. Despite the fact that it is a relatively simple movie plot & the entire movie is only a little over 90 mins, I find myself getting really bored in between the screening. There is really not enough substance, to carry the entire movie through, thus creating the feeling that the movie seems to be a lot longer than it should. That being said, Noomi has always been one of my favorite actresses & she rarely disappoints. I guess an actor can only do so much with the material that they are given.

This Aussie film was really well put together - much better than some recent Hollywood productions that were disappointing. The casting was excellent and all performances were great, especially by Noomi Rapace, of which is certainly award-worthy. The directing by Kim Farrant was great in capturing the tense and thrilling moments. The cinematography was just as good, as was the score. The writing was very creative and well thought out, but I would've liked better pacing and some minor editing in the first 3/4 of the film to bring the 98 min runtime down to around 80-90 mins. Otherwise, certainly a must-see film that will be enjoyed much more without knowing any spoilers or reading up on any plot synopsis. A well deserved 9/10 from me.

Noomi Rapace truly is the best female actress of our time, she just shines in every single thing she does ever since I saw her first jaw dropping performance in the awesome Girl With The Dragon Tattoo I have followed all of her films and she just makes even the weakest plot or story shine, stir the pot with the excellent Luke Evans and bring it to the boil and we have an excellent cinematic nourishment for the senses.

Although this story-line has been done before, the acting and direction just makes this film a cut above the rest and although you kinda know 10 minutes in what is going to happen it still does not prepare you for the gut wrenching denouement.
