How I Live Now (2013)

Man, I'm totally in love with this movie. UK films are always so catchy. My review on this movie will be a positive one for sure.

In my opinion, for the age of the cast, this movie was carried so well by these young actors and actresses. The acting wasn't as bad as the average movie watcher would think. Seeing nothing but young kids in a movie together would usually trigger some sort of red flag for me, but I noticed that George MacKay was one of the main characters and I knew right then that this movie was worth watching. MacKay isn't really as young as he looks in this movie. Currently 21, MacKay is beginning to break out as a rising British actor. I'm super excited to see him take off. I give the acting in the overall movie a 6.9/10.

The scenery, if you will, is actually impressive in this movie. I was expecting a cheap independent film, but yet again, I was surprised. Just like any low production film this movie has a few "needs improvement" scenes, but those scenes weren't so bad that I had the urge to turn it off or laugh. I'm giving the production a 5.9/10. I was highly impressed and I'm naming this movie a must watch. I watched this movie on Netflix, so if you have access to an account, you should watch it! You won't be let down.

Rating
7.4/10
