One hundred percent a good movie

[PaxtonMalloy · 7/10 · 3 January 2021]

I hesitated to watch it because of the bad rating but the trailer looked good and Juno Temple is in it which is no guarantee that is good but it is guaranteed that she will be good in it. And I was right her performance stands out even though Ozarks Julia Gardner is good as well and Alessandro Nivola is good at being himself as usual.

The story is one worth telling. We see the both woman struggling dealing with the accident and so this is not a feel good movie. It is about pain and suffering but I find it to be believable and well told and it is also beautifully shot. Very emotional and feels authentic.

Little more than melodrama

[dfranzen70 · 5/10 · 19 February 2019]

This movie just never really clicked for me. The basic plot is that two friends reconnect on summer break, six months after a horrific accident, and each finds unorthodox ways of dealing with their grief. There are so many bad decisions in the movie (and not just by the two leads) that the tone felt overwhelmingly overwrought - melodramatic, that is. And I have to admit I was a little put off by the casting of Juno Temple as the "innocent" one (when her character claims as such, I laughed - turned out she was serious and it wound up being an integral part of her decision making). The ladies are the entire story here, but given the gravity of the theme I'm not sure either Temple or Julia Garner were suited to their roles.

Strong ending

[Gordon-11 · 19 October 2017]

This film tells the story of two young women who have to deal with the survivor's guilt after a traffic accident that kills their good friend.

The first twenty minutes are rather confusing, as some scenes do not make sense without knowing the traumatic experience of the women. I think the experience is revealed slightly too late, and I had to re-watch the first forty minutes to make sense of the scenes. The next twenty minutes comprises of many sex scenes. Sex is a way for them to cope, but Catherine's liaisons are a bit twisted. The final thirty minutes are very strong, as they have to deal with the aftermath of their messed up situation. The scene where Iris stands up on the bar top is very emotional. I sympathise with their unfortunate situation. The last thirty minutes saved the film for me. I enjoyed watching it.

Nothing there

Depression, arguing, and staring the whole way through. Every line cliche. Every emotion cliche....

bittersweet

[wrv-16858 · 8/10 · 30 January 2020]

'One Percent More Humid' tells a good story about an affair between a young woman and a married man. Mainly carried by the excellent acting of male lead Alessandro Nivola.

Not surprisingly the affair fails in the end. Apart from this, it's interwoven with a tragic car accident from the past.

As often happens in Juno Temple-films, 'One Percent More Humid' just shows a segment of common people's lives. With a bittersweet underlining that, whatever happens, life must be lived until its very end.

Enjoyable
