The performances are pitch perfect; the soundtrack is evocative; the photography is artful. Nothing is overdone, and nothing is really resolved.
As it plays out, it’s only a hard road for these swept-up, damaged lovers, whom Klein and his actors treat with blessedly non-exploitative honesty.
When it keeps its aims small and its attention narrow, The Other Half lands on a simple love story that speaks outside its familiar boundaries.
Mr. Klein is well served by his actors, who exude conviction, charisma and palpable ardor.
A somber and derivative relationship drama.
The film's emotional resonance is consistently stifled by excessively gloomy aesthetic and stylistic tics.
Maslany and Cullen's characters seem intended to be psychologically realistic, but they're only as complex as The Other Half's surface-deep style.
