Finn W Apr 28, 2019 it was not a touching romance story, and the way how Nicholas fall in love with Kristen was stupid and silly, the idea was the Same idea of "the giver" about emotionless community, so nothing new in the overall story, it was boring and predictable, save your time and skip it See more

Kylo M Mar 17, 2019 In an emotionless utopia, two people fall in love when they regain their feelings from a mysterious disease, causing tensions between them and their society. Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult star in this Scott Free Films production featuring Guy Pearce, Jacki Weaver, Bel Powley . Executive producer, Ridley Scott. I must say I sought this film out for actress Kristen Stewart. She is insanely beautiful .I could watch this film on mute and just be struck by the visuals, even if Doremus's hand-held camerawork doesn't make a ton of sense-at least he shows his stars off to advantage. A movie about suppressing your emotions will make you pretty emotional if your mindset allows you to. Yes, it is slow, has little or no action, just sheer human emotion, drama and situation. This is an intriguing, fascinating story that leaves the viewer with mixed emotions. What would we prefer, a pristine, harm-free society in which emotion is subdued, or one full of emotion, beauty... and the pain brought about by those emotions? This film both answers and refuses to answer that question. It presents a story, leaving us to determine which we would prefer. The story is well-crafted, has enough twist to surprise, and an ending that satisfies without preaching. The futuristic atmosphere in Equals, along with its style and themes of love & passion bears a resemblance to Gattaca (1997) for its look & feel, while also sharing familiar story lines from classics like Romeo & Juliet about forbidden love. Drake Doremus is a brilliant filmmaker capable of reaching the viewer in a deeply emotional way. Thank you! See more

Abraham R Mar 15, 2019 Would love to see more of the movie from where it left off.

Draco S Feb 3, 2019 Thought provoking dysotopian twist on the classic romeo/juliet conundrum.

Finn P Jan 12, 2019 I'm sure the movie meant well, but with the ethereal music, white background, and slow moving scenes, you just hope you woke up to a more exciting movie. See more

Kylo S Jan 11, 2019 A futuristic twist of the Romeo and Juliet story all wrapped up in a visually satisfying and clean aesthetic.
