Don't Go

Don't Go: Difficult to categorise: horror, time slips, attempting to change past events, maybe a touch of the supernatural about it. Ben blames himself (as does his wife Hazel) for the death of his child, Molly, who died in an accident. His guilt is worsened by where he really was when Molly perished. Ben and Hazel move to the West of Ireland to renovate a hotel but instead of being a new start Ben has strange dreams. He is transported back to a time when all three of them were on a beach. Even when awake he keeps seeing the slogan Seas The Day. He becomes obsessed with the idea of actually time travelling to avert the accident. The oddities of his situation are well illustrated - he has conversations with people who aren't really there yet seems to be able to being physical objects back from his time-slip dreams. The themes of guilt (plus hiding the truth)and the need for redemption run Don't Go but the realisation that redemption comes at a price is made all too clear. Reality (and Ben's imaginary conversations) is generally shot with a darker filter while the past beach scenes are in brighter colours. The film is unevenly paced with too much time used to set up the critical scenes, it might have worked better as a 60 minute episode of an anthology series. Directed by David Gleeson from a script by Ronan Blaney and John Collins. Saw it on RTE. 6/10.

Not quite what I thought but enjoyable enough for an afternoons viewing . Dorf doss well as does Melissa George , nice twist at the end

Just this fact alone makes this a MUST WATCH for me. I will be back with a review after I have seen the movie.

A father struggling with the death of his young daughter begins to believe he can change the past by a memory that becomes a reoccurring dream. Is it possible or is he simply losing his mind.

This film was decent. The actors played their characters with a lot of sincerity and the story was relatable. It felt a little slow at times and it would have been better with more depth invested into the individual characters and the way they interacted with one another. It's nothing that will blow you away but it was an entertaining watch.

I'm the same as natcalgary. I put it on for some background noise. But I noticed a few different scenes that made me pause it near the end and to watch it from the start, properly. I got the gist of the story and surprisingly these parents stay together but I didn't see enough the first time to spoil the end. I loved the ending, I didn't see it coming and that's the kind of movie I love. Hate it when a movie is entirely predictable but this one is not. It's a must watch (in my eyes). ENJOY!
