Kylo R Mar 18, 2019 Things aren't gray. While there is no clear "good guy" or "bad guy" going on here, this story simply explores a relationship in a realistic way, without guns, without cops, without explosions. Those who need this type of stimulation will get bored. Six Years reveals the complexity of people with their twisted psychology. Mel tells Dan "I love you," then declares "I hate you" hours later. The writers and actors were spot-on showing young college age kids with their roller-coaster moods, intense feelings, and ambivalent emotions. Kids make bad decisions. They act, then later reflect, instead of doing the opposite. We see them sabotage their relationship (a kiss here, a push there), only to regret it later. When we are young, we do this. We later learn not to, hopefully. The spontaneous ad-lib dialogue was fresh. Unlike a structured script, Taissa Farminga (who played Mel) and Ben Rosenfeld (who played Dan) acted naturally, often interrupting each other like we do in real life. Does this film explore domestic violence. Some say yes, but in my personal and humble opinion, I saw the the injuries caused accidentally. Mel pushes Dan, twice, but doesn't mean to make him bleed. Dan pins Mel to the ground to stop her from striking him, not to hurt her. In real life domestic violence cases, they mean harm. Men strike women in the face. This wasn't the case here. COMMENT ON THE ENDING... SPOILER ALERT... DON'T READ FURTHER... The ending was open-ended. Will they remain together? Will they work things out and learn to THINK before they act? Are they violent people, or do they simply need to mature? Their love is solid, no doubt. They have little impulse control. They realize this too late. Dan's change of heart at the end was a bit abrupt (and confusing) when he decided not to go to New York. Mel pushes him into glass, cutting his feet, and while recuperating in the hospital from that push, he decides to hinder his career for her. Dan's mistakes were that he didn't include Mel on the decision-making when he decided to move to New York. Mel's mistake was that she often was a hot-head, exploding both verbally and physically when Dan upset her, striking out with words like "I hate you" and actions such as pushing him and feebly striking at him. When Mel says, "I want you to go to New York", does she mean she wants to have a long distance relationship, or does she think their relationship has ended. This is what the viewer must decide.

Luke W Jan 14, 2019 Niente di estremamente coinvolgente o emozionante, ma una storia semplice e lineare che garantisce una sorta di leggero intrattenimento. Ho apprezzato il realismo con il quale viene raccontata la trama, solida anche per l'interpretazione dei due giovani attori. Alla fine del film non rimane molto ma nella sua breve durata di certo non mi sono annoiato. See more

Nov 3, 2018 6 years is a process of a natural relationship. When things start yo fall down and you know everything is going to be lost. The movie doesn't have the enough passion but is autenthic and that is like in real life, today a lot of relationships don't have passion. Is a good movie but isn't the best in the genre. See more

George R Jul 7, 2018 Went in thinking it was a Drake Doremus movie (akin to Like Crazy) but lacked development. Good performances, boring plot. Like a 6 year relationship...over it. See more

Poe S Apr 15, 2018 6 Years is a captivating young adult romantic film that tells the six-year relationship of Mel and Dan whom Taissa Farmiga and Ben Rosenfield plays. Spoiler alert, the movie has an ending most people wouldn't want to see. Specifically, the film has an unhappy ending that will leave you wanting for more. Unhappy endings are much more realistic than happy endings. Its depiction of uncanny and uncertain future is fascinating and realistic. It tells us that life isn't always perfect. The performances of the actors are remarkable. I say 6 Years is Farmiga and Rosenfield's breakthrough roles. It has been brought to my attention that the film had no official script. The improvisation of the actors made the film itself even more believable. See more
