MOVIE REVIEW: Before Snowfall

Pros:
The movie was really interesting, the perspective of the vengeful brother was different. Usually we get the perspective of the sister running away and the murderous brother as the antagonist. It's refreshing to see that reversed.

After the slow beginning the movie really picked up, it kept me awake all the way through it.

I won't spoil I but the ending was shocking. Completely unexpected.

Cons:
The beginning was rather slow, it took a while before siyar became remotely likable. He just seemed like a brooding jackass for a lot of the movie. It wasn't until Evin showed up that he gained any humanity.

Acting:
Siyar and Evin were well acted, they did their jobs well and did a pretty good job of hating Kurdish points of view.

Setting: 
unlike American movies, none if the settings were beautiful, they all felt very dingy and dirty. Even when they got to Berlin and ultimately Oslo. They seemed grimy. Hats off to the location scouts for finding the dirtiest locations possible.

Final Verdict: 76
Good, but slow beginning and Unlikable main character.

So there's that, now to watch a nice awkward movie about a porn star
