Telles in particular exudes charisma and charm, while providing some strong subtly during the more dramatic moments of her journey. It's easy to fall in love with them as a couple. Pros: Flynn and Telles share a clear chemistry on set. Pros: interesting concept, witty dialogue, and fun characters for the most part.Ĭons: it's an unusual concept but falls into some YA genre related cliches briefly. The last 30 minutes are also pretty slow. Right up my friend Kiz's alley but it didn't blow me away. His noise and have it count? It's just never really explained, which I wouldn't mind if the movie didn't put so much emphasis on the fact he has such a hard time making friends cause nobody wants to be around him. What counts as seeing his face? Could he wear one bandage around Realistically for a lot of the movie only his nose and forehead are covered. But he has lived his whole life without being arrested, and someone doctors or scientists aren't trying to run tests on him? As well as the fact that the whole seeing his face thing is never explained. Max (Flynn's character) kills anybody that sees his face. My main problem with this movie is plausibility. Flynn and his co star do an alright job but the movie doesn't really give them a lot to do. I thought it might be some super dark comedy but instead it was just some average teen romance movie with a weird quirk in it. The movie started off quite dark and I was thinking it would be more drama then comedy however it quickly switched gears to be a comedy. I've only seen the first season of 13 reasons why so I haven't see a lot of Flynn in anything to know a lot about his acting. Thanks to a reliable cast and writer/director Kellen Moore, this just became one of my instant favorites.With that being said I really liked the concept of this movie. And it kept them interested until the very end. It made viewers fall in love, laugh, cry and wonder. It had a beautiful, quirky, but realistic message. It gave audiences hopeful about Max’s future, after all.Īll in all, Looks that Kill was a heartwarming and touching movie. When it was revealed, it was like a moment of epiphany. Darn you, Hollywood! Still, I liked that they finally solved the mystery of why some people were immune to Max’s lethal charms. The ending was bittersweet, more realistic than whimsical, but darn, I wish they sold me a bridge and gave me a sanitized ending instead. It was in making its audience love and hope along with these characters as it explored the concepts of love, friendship, loyalty, and living. However, the film’s success was really was not its similarities to other coming of age romances. It even reminded me of Pushing Daisies and these were really good metrics of a good movie. The film had a Moonrise Kingdom/The Fault in Our Stars vibe to it. Even under the bandages though, Max looked like a cute guy, and when I checked his IMDB, I can confirm that he is. But the most compelling thing about this guy was the mystery of his face.īe warned that you wait from beginning to end for a glimpse of his lethally attractive face but until the end, the stingy filmmakers only showed a portion of his mug. Max was like a puppy, experiencing love and acceptance for the first time, (with the exception of his parents and his best friend Dan). She treated people well and they loved her in return. She was just trying to live her life the best way that she could, given her circumstance. I like that the film didn’t portray Alex as the typical cheerful girl hiding a secret. You would ship them from the first, just as I have. They both seemed so genuine and charismatic and they clicked so naturally. There was great chemistry between Brandon Flynn (Max) and Julia Goldani Telles (Alex) that made them so rootable. While the lethally attractive face condition at first seemed comedic, the journey of these two young people was not. I was initially intrigued by the film so I went ahead and watched it.
