Summary: Del (Peter Dinklage) is alone in the world.

I Think We’re Alone Now is an exercise in ambiance, and Morano is nothing if not a brilliant conductor of tone. Favoring dreamy over dreary, the movie is a handsome and often mesmerizing addition to Morano’s expanding oeuvre. Read full review

Bryan Bishop

I Think We’re Alone Now is a tone poem of a movie, telling its story with lush, vivid imagery, and quiet, nuanced performances. Its slow, methodical pacing may not appeal to all moviegoers, and the film’s final act doesn’t entirely work. But it’s nevertheless a beautiful meditation on loneliness and the walls we put up to deal with grief and loss. Read full review

The Playlist Gregory Ellwood

As always, Dinklage is exquisite in a mostly silent performance that conveys the pain and survivor’s guilt Del has bottled up inside him following the incident. Read full review

Unfortunately, I Think We’re Alone Now stops being interesting right when Grace (Elle Fanning) comes to town, mostly because she brings screenwriter Mike Makowsky’s trite ideas about loneliness and community along with her. Read full review

Everything gets upended in the film’s final third, when its languid pacing gives way to sped-up plotting. Read full review

Robert Abele

Sep 13, 2018

With the indie two-hander I Think We’re Alone Now, starring Peter Dinklage and Elle Fanning, this talented director is stuck in neutral with the illogical, unremarkable concerns in Mike Makowsky’s ham-fisted screenplay. Read full review

Todd McCarthy

Dramatically and philosophically void and unprovocative on the grand scale of apocalyptic speculative fiction, this low-budget indie is somber and dreary on a moment-to-moment basis and leaves its talented cast stranded with few opportunities to alleviate the sense of stasis. Read full review

I tend to like movies that are mindbangs and this is definitely that. The apocalyptic/sci-fi angle is not terribly important, it's just a fait accompli. But every banging other thing is (important).

1) Peter Dinklage is a really good actor and he makes characters more interesting than they would otherwise be.

2) His character in this film is an outsider, a loner, the guy who's never more alone than when surrounded by people he doesn't connect with. If you've never felt like that at all (if you're always surrounded by tons of awesome friends) then you're probably not going to get the character and you probably won't like the film.
3) There's virtually no action in the typical sense. There's a little menace, now and again, because you never know what might be around the next corner, but that's about it. OK, we see a little bit of corpse dragging, but . . . you know . . .
4) We get almost nothing about the cause and nature of the apocalypse. A little disappointing but I got over it. On the other hand we do get a little fly fishing and fish gutting.
5) I didn't really appreciate the film's title until the very last scene and then it hit me like a sudden fountain of droll irony. If droll irony can actually fountain.
6) This is not a great film, but it's a solid entry into the genre because Dinklage makes it so. You should therefore "engage".… Expand

Un mundo devastado por una extraña enfermedad que exterminó a todas las personas, en donde aparentemente, solo queda vivo un hombre que dice disfrutar de esa soledad, se ve "amenazado de compañía" cuando llega una segunda sobreviviente. Un dilema explorado en alguna películas, como Soy Leyenda del 2007, en donde un hombre queda "completamente" solo en el planeta, solo con la compañía de su perros e infectados de una extraña enfermedad que los convirtió en zombis. Acá no hay muertos vivientes que quieran comerse vivos al protagonista de la historia, interpretado magistralmente por Peter Dinklage, solo existe la soledad abrumadora que aparentemente el protagonista disfruta, pero que es puesta a prueba cuando conoce a Grace. Esta sensación de soledad se transmite al espectador con el ritmo de la película, algo lenta en partes, pero nunca llega aburrir.

Las ideas que Del tiene sobre la sociedad y la compañía son negativas, pero a medida que la película avanza descubrimos que esta falta de humanidad y pensamiento del protagonista pueden cambiar. Nos presentan a Grace, interpretada por la entrañable Elle Fannig, una chica que también sobrevivió a la enfermedad. Es joven e ingenua, no llega a darse cuenta que la "libertad" conlleva más responsabilidades (cual tío Ben). El director con una poesía visual y un ritmo pausado toca temas como la soledad y la pérdida, llegando a equilibrar todos los temas que se propone. con el telón de una historia de ciencia ficción. I think We´re Alone Now, posiblemente no llegue atraer al público que busca algo más simple de una historia de ciencia ficción, pero si asombrará a aquel que tiene ganas de reflexionar.… Expand

This is kind of a film adrift that sailed into an ocean and didn't know how to find its way back to the shore.

It starts well but also begins to get lost slowly, especially due to the slow narrative and although it tries to immerse you in its atmosphere, it never achieves it, in particular because everything feels conventional until the film shows surprisingly and out of nowhere its plot twist that instead of feeling shocking and unexpected feels more like something forced.

The ending that builds never achieves an emotional catharsis and the questions that leaves in the air don't help to leave a better impression.

I highlight the work of Peter Dinklage and Elle Fanning but above all Dinklage's who easily steals the entire film.

In the end it wasn't what I expected but I don't judge it with my expectations but with what the film gave me and sadly its proposal and story did not satisfy me. A shame… Expand

dinklage gives an incredible performance in an awful movie.fanning is acceptable under the shadow of dinklage.the movie has no way to make you keep watching it half way through and is much more predictable than you would think.

Na boa, esse filme é um saco. Perdi 1h40 da minha vida assistindo isso. Não tem historia muito menos entretenimento. Não assistam isso.
