The Girl Who Invented Kissing

source: The Girl Who Invented Kissing

I watched a more popular film before this one (Gretel & Hansel) and I almost fell asleep numerous times but this indie film had not only kept my attention but grabbed me at the end. It's a real life, heart pulling story.

Just a very touching good movie with great acting. Its about two brothers jimmy and Vic. Vic is a bit slow ( also has a hearing aid) ( played by same actor who plays ray Donovan s slow brother) and his brother runs the bar the oak.one day Vic meets a beautiful young drifster who becomes friends with Vic and doesn't treat Vic like a slow retard as most people do.she doesn't tell him his name only that after kissing him that she is the one invented kissing. The storyline is not that complicated but the great acting makes this a very good and touching movie.

This is a real little gem of a movie! The concept will keep you involved until the stunningly good ending! The acting is great throughout, Suki Waterhouse is great as the pill-popping girl, but Dash Mihok as Victor is simply amazing as the older but slightly mentally challenged brother. His performance is incredible and so real it will bring tears to your eyes! Yes it's a sad movie but well worth seeing even if just for him alone! Don't miss it!!!

Suki Waterhouse gives a soul slicing performance as a drifter who gets off a bus in a little Jersey town in this beautifully made 2017 tragicomedy. Her character, the Girl (we never learn her name), is comfortable sleeping on park benches and partying with dangerous low-lifes. Her beauty and charm enable her to manipulate lonely men like bar owner Victor, movingly played by Dash Mihok. She targets Victor as a mark, but Waterhouse and writer-director Tom Sierchio are able to communicate the genuine affection she has for this wounded, profoundly vulnerable man, even while she uses him. The most impressive aspect of Waterhouse's creation is her portrayal of the Girl's completely unjustified confidence that she can survive her dangerous life choices. Proud of her unorthodox behavior, unafraid of confrontation, the Girl seems bent on living by her own simple, brazen philosophy. During their first conversation, after she and Victor admit to their mutual weirdness, she says, "Don't let anybody tell you that's a bad thing. It's a good thing. Only the mediocre are always at their best and I can tell already that ain't us." In real life, when we see any young person strolling so casually on the edge of the abyss, we worry. If it's someone we know well, we worry a lot. If it's a beautiful women, we are desperately afraid for her because we understand the malevolent attention she could attract. Waterhouse makes us feel that danger almost immediately, even while we're finding her maddeningly attractive. I don't know what the future will bring for this unjustly ignored film. I wouldn't be surprised if, in a few years, Criterion picks it up. The good news is that you can stream it right now and spend some quality time with the girl who Invented kissing.

Thought he could get his money back if he leaves a movie at the 15 minute mark. Lol. Ok on to the review..I quite liked this move. There wasn't a story per say ( ut Seinfeld didn't have one either) instead I felt like I was watching an actual filming of people living. I felt like after the movie ended I could envision them all sitting discussing things. I wish they had shown a little more with the girl by herself so we could see exactly how she lived was she a prostitute?!?) It showed her going to cars and getting in too? Also wish there wasn't so much mystery behind the death. But even without I still enjoyed the move and cried at parts. Like one reviewer wrote something like it didn't feel like he was watching people acting it was so real. That's how I felt and a movie has to make me feel a certain way to write a review with is a good thing or bad thing tho a good thing here and like the other reviewer I have no friends and watch a lot of films just dawned on me. Lol.

I noticed many 9 & 10 star reviews. One review raved but mistakenly gave a 1/10, trying to give 10/10 i believe based on what they wrote, thus affecting the overall aggregate rating which should be higher. This movie deserves an 8/10 based on reviews

These guys hit the mark with this one! I typically don't like movie renditions of books but they captured the essence of the book while creating gold on screen. The actors/actresses capture the most important elements and I would recommend all who enjoy a great drama to watch - you will not be disappointed! The producers and directors of the film deserve all the credit in the world for turning in a masterpiece. I have to say that this is one of my favorite films in the past decade - I could see it having tremendous success as time goes on. 10/10 Can't wait to re-watch and catch the moments that I missed the first time around!

It's not everyday that you see a pretty Victoria Secret model like Suki Waterhouse (Who plays a druggy drifter with no name) falls for a slightly peculiar middle-age in the streets and becomes his best friend while being stalked though it happens in this 105 minutes debut film of Tom Sierchio . Although the movie depicts a real unlikely story in its plot, It sort of succeeds to portray some genuine feelings of fallible people. "The Girl Who Invented Kissing" is infused with zero wrenching pathos and is stymied by a monotonous script. While It's unfair to ignore the noticeable performances by Vincent Piazza and Dash Mihok, it's also fair to say that Suki Waterhouse is a long way to claim that she's as good in movies as she's in catwalk. Finishing my short take, I'll say that "The Girl Who Invented Kissing" actually does not even innovate let alone invent anything but it's a movie worth putting time for, specially for those who like to commiserate with these imperfect people of the story....and specially a pill-popping drifter played by pretty Suki Waterhouse.

I thought it had a slow start to the point I almost turned it off. Fortunately, it was just weird enough to hold my attention until I was interested. It's a good film with a good story, but it is a bit on the sad side. See it with your significant other.
