The Lost Patient

I would say this is a very interesting movie obviously not the best movie so not a 10. But i'd say a good 8 because the ending is pretty shocking, I see a lot of people saying it's boring. Obviously the start will be a bit boring, it's not supposed to be an action movie. This movie really gets you thinking, there's many people you will suspect. The movie is unsettling but the right amount of it. I definitely recommend this movie to people who like watching true crime or documentaries. Some people find those boring but if you find them interesting this is definitely the movie you will enjoy""""

As this French drama opens a family is found massacred in their home. Three years later nineteen year old survivor Thomas awakes from a coma. The psychologist caring for him tells him that he is the sole survivor and that his sister hasn't been seen since those events. She encourages him to try to remember just what happened while he is also undergoing physiotherapy. Gradually he, and we, learn just what happened that day. I thought this was a decent drama. It is fairly slow burn and doesn't provide as many surprises as I suspects its makers think. I'm sure most viewers will have suspected how it will end long before the 'big reveal'. That said it managed to keep me interested throughout. The cast is solid, especially Txomin Vergez, who plays Thomas. There is a good atmosphere with limited settings giving it an almost theatrical feel at times. Overall a solid enough film; not a must see but worth a watch if you are a fan of French films. These comments are based on watching the film in French with English subtitles.

This is a fascinating but also very intricate film. Main character Thomas awakes in a hospital after having been 3 years in coma, ever since he was found severely wounded as the only surviver amidst his murdered family. Along with Thomas we try to find out what happened, why it happened, and who was responsible. The movie continuously provides tiny fragments, that are alternately short realistic flashbacks or Thomas's interpretations thereof, or they are the product of his imagination or delusions. We see a psychiatrist patiently trying to help him to get his memory back. Very gradually the harsh truth begins to dawn on him and on us, although I have to admit that for a long time I did't see the major plot twist and the ultimate conclusion coming. The acting of especially Txomin Vergez is really excellent, the movie is slow paced but the tension never sags, and it kept me on the edge of my chair until the very end. It was a great relief that the story came up in the end with the needed answers (in nowadays cinema there's a pretentious tendency to keep you dangling in some sort of limbo at the end of a mystery movie!), but there were still some things that eluded me: why was the psychiatrist walking with a crutch? What was the function of fellow patient Bastien? They seemed to be both victims of an accident, so maybe that was it? Anyway: an impressive and intriguing, well acted movie that stayed in my head for a long time.

Le Patient is a psychological horror and drama film. The premise is about a 19-year-old boy, Thomas, who wakes up from a 3-year coma to discover that his entire family has been murdered and his sister is missing. To make matters worse, the killer is still on the loose. In a desperate search for facts, psychologist Anna Keifer decides to help Thomas with therapy sessions to unlock his hidden memories. Is a terrible truth buried among its most intrinsic blocks? This factor keeps us hooked to Le Patient. However, the film, based on a comic book, is predictable. Though clever, the plot twist isn't all that surprising. That doesn't detract from the fact that the plot is well constructed; but it works better as comics or narrative than as audiovisual content.

Too slow, too predictable, too boring and too unoriginal Le patient fails on all levels even if you consider it as a time filler. It's not entertaining, not though provoking and the ending could be guessed from first couple of minutes if you're observant enough and do a couple of logical conclusions. Cinematography is unoriginal, score is basic and forgettable, although characters are doing okay work given the lackluster screenplay and entire idea. Speaking of the idea, Piège pour Cendrillon is the one you want to watch/ read to understand how similar events could be described to keep you on the edge of your seat, that's underrated classic while this movie is a waste of resources.

This movie was interesting enough. It had a decent enough premise for the plot. A young boy is the only survivor of the brutal murder of his family. After that point he ends up in a hospital and the whole film is him exploring his past with his psycotrist. I will say it felt a little easy to figure out what was going to happen in the end but it did feel like something else could happen. That was not the case and it made the film feel a little dissapoiting. I wont say the film was terrible. It was good it just had terrible dialog in places but the acting was ok. Overall this was a movie you dont have to think to hard about but it was enjoyable enough to watch.
