The Giver

I like this movie but it leaves me with too many questions. I cannot fathom how a society like theirs could exist when human nature will always overcome.

The few stars that I have given, are for the main young actor, he is a sight to behold. Unfortunately, the film itself seems to impose upon the viewer a dualism between either a totalitarian society without emotion, or one that is less controlled but which comes with joy and pain.

Having read the book quite recently the essence of it, as I perceived it, is still fresh. I would rate the book an 8/10 - I truly enjoyed and respected it, but I am not a hardcore fan.

Unique and meaningful concept. You will enjoy the story and the screenplay thoroughly.

A great concept with poor execution and inconsistent acting, The Giver is a frustrating film. It's a film that's both hard to watch and yet hard not to like, at least on some levels.

Welcome to another edition of Adam's Reviews!!

Have you ever wondered what if would be like to live in an alternate reality? A reality where you get no control over your future.

Stellar cast and stellar adaptation of an excellent YA novel (1993 by Lois Lowry) that spawned modern era dystopian genre. Beautifully shot when the city got their memories back and the color came back, including the colorful people.
