I Think We're Alone Now

There's not a lot of backstory or dialogue in this flick but Peter Dinklage managed to grab our attention with great acting. To communicate with subtlety is worth watching. I feel like it's something we can all learn from.

Dell finds peace when everyone else is gone. How many of us have thought that, were the world to end, we would want to live out our days in a library? I know I have. And that's exactly what Dell is doing. Then Grace shows up and throws a wrench into his safely and carefully curated solitude but she also forces him to move past emotional barriers. Hell IS other people but life is far more interesting with at least one other person to share it with.

Can't say this flick gives something new to the genre of post-apocalypse, but it definitely can give you something good to watch and some fresh ideas to mull over. First of all "I Think We're Alone Now" is it's cast. Both main characters are well-written and amasingly played, chemestry between them is belivable and thier motives are queit understandable. It's interesting enough to watch how these two pollar opposite characters interelate in each joint scene. Another peculiar fact about this movie is that it feels like a director's monologue about loneliness with or without people around and ability to handle significant loss in your life. Each character here has it's own way of managing such tragedy as a death of someone they knew. And I found it amasing that the idea of being honest to oneself is the most important moral direction for the main characters. Also I wanna add that the sound accompaniment is great. Intense and dreadful, when it should be. It helps to feel the movie deeply. If You are ok with something slow-burning but dramatic and thoughtful, You better give it a go, I'm convinced you won't be disappointed.

Peter Dinklage is a national treasure. I became a fan of his through his performance in Game of Thrones and I've really come to enjoy his acting. He is the reason that I Think We're Alone Now is decent and worth a watch. I am a fan of post-apocalyptic stories in general so that contributed to my enjoyment. However, this movie does have some flaws. The plot is slow moving, has weird abrupt tonal changes, unanswered question/plot holes and the final act is just weird. They shoehorn in a side plot that becomes a huge part of the ending and it just felt off to me. Plus I can't articulate just why, but I think the title of this movie is stupid. I guess it just doesn't fit in with the actual story, plus it makes everyone think of that song of the same name. Recommended to fans of post-apocalyptic movies who enjoy strong acting. Not recommended to watchers looking for action or adventure movies.
