ENGAGING, ENTERTAINING AND WORTH WATCHING
My wife and ii enjoyed this movie. It was poignant, sad and funny. The acting was good, the protagonist was engaging and the overall cast should be commended for an engaging story of loss and love. We had,no expectations of this movie and that's the best way to approach it. Recommended.
A nice drama to watch and learn
This is the story of a loyal mourning husband who can't accept the reality and move on. The story is nice. I learned a lot by watching this movie. The locations are diverse. There are some beautiful locations in nature in the movie. The music in in harmony with the scenes. There is a sense of humor in the story. I recommend this movie to fans of drama and comedy.

Comforting when watch
The story itself is nothing complicated and over dramatic. Looking at the life of a man who lost his wife and fight for his property back as a background, then meeting with the new owner and change in his life and comeover the pain and the past. I just like the way how the story was told and it's just right for every single details. The man think the bathroom shouldn't be the way the new owner told him to do but at the end it's better. Be open minded. A small feeling on me after watching this movie.
Eerily similar to Sideways
Do yourself a favor by watching "Sideways" with Paul Giamatti before watching "Elsewhere". I think you'll be surprised with the similar story, music, and even directing. Yes, there are differences, but the overall theme of a depressed guy seeking solace from a severed relationship rings true here...it borders on plagiarism.

Ok but...
The story was engaging but try as I might I could not make myself like the sad sack lead. The morose man starts to grate on your nerves early on in the movie. Five stars is the best I could do.
Gave up watching
Really disappointed in this film and gave up on it after about half an hour. Kept thinking it was going to take a serious look at a very difficult situation but only trivialised the topic so gave up. It is very interesting that other critics gave it a high score and others low so clearly a film that some really like and others definitely don't! One could say it is a marmite film.

Absolutely Amazing - Well Worth Watching
I am shocked that this movie has such a low rating. It is quite different in its tone and the way it plays throughout. Not what one expects from beginning to end...it is more like real life. A full gamut of emotions splashed on the screen in front of you. When it ends I found I just sat quietly with my thoughts.
Empty & Extremely Dull
Yawn. Really boring, left me hollow inside. Main character like my title, the only thing nice in it was the woods.

Bad writing and acting
The acting and dialogue are so bad that it's a distraction. No interaction in the movie feels realistic, or even believable. The story is pointless and unrealistic.

Stay away from this stinker at all cost.
Absolutely silly rubbish, totally absurd and so unrealistic as to be annoying to the extreme. Dont bother.
A total waste of my time and money watching this farce of a movie.
Garbage acting, Garbage writing, and garbage plot.
Everything about this movie is bad, the acting, script, direction, editing... A terrible attempt at making a film. Extremely low budget.
All the high scores are from wanker friends of cast and crew!

meh
It could have been funny but instead it was pretty bad! Comedy? Then I had to miss the funny parts of this boring movie. The main character was the worst.

Enjoyable movie for eyeryone
Great casting and a enjoyable plot. Hard for me to understand the low ratings.
Worth Your Time
First, this is not a comedy. Sure there are a few things that happen that one might find funny, but there's really nothing to laugh about here. This is a serious story about a man who is evicted by his dead girlfriend's parents after she passed two years ago. His struggle to hang on to it and her memory puts him in an interesting situation. The cast top notch. The writing believable. The story unfolds as one would expect. I really enjoyed it.

Great movie!
I loved the movie, the situation described is something that everyone can feel connected to , the acting is great, and the photoshoot are stunning.
There is a good balance of the funny scene and the dramatic scene. and this is definitely something I appreciate in movies.

People over 40 will appreciate this movie
If you want to watch a teenage comedy, then you better skip this movie. Very rarely does a film have a story based on real life and that is plausible. A good cast, with the above-average actress Parker Posey, making the whole film even more watchable. Although the ending is not predictable, you will not be disappointed with how it ends.

A Hidden Gem
What a surprise of a gem! So glad I found it. The acting is top notch.
Absolutely Astonishing - Amazing story
I have absolutely no idea how this movie is rated so low on IMDB.
I have absolutely no idea what made me watch this movie with my wife, but it was one of the greatest drama movies I saw in a while!
The story, the pacing, casting and cinematography is absolutely beautiful.
Thank you for making this movie.
The topic moved is very difficult, and tocuhed in such a soft way, I couldnt believe it.
Here we see a real talent of fantastic movie making.
The movie itself feels a bit like a theatrical play on the big screen - it is a real great acting over there - and it just makes you feel good.
