It has seemed that Kristen Stewart has disappeared from public view after that vampire franchise ended, but in fact, she has decided to take the indie route, improving her cred as an actress, and became the first American to win a Cesar Best Supporting Actress award from the French Academy for the movie, Clouds of Sils Maria.
She has a movie out right now here in Manila and it's a sci-fi love story entitled Equals.
It's a sad world though that their future has envisioned for the unfortunate pair of Nicholas Hoult and Kristen Stewart. It's a world where people lived alone, there are no families, and there are no couples since love, sex and intimacy are not allowed.
As to why, I don't know. The sound system in the SM North cinema was so bad and the actors were always whispering, that I could barely hear anything for almost 80% of the conversation time, except when the soundtrack played.
Notwithstanding the sad storyline is the pristine and clean production design and costumes, as everything is in white - in different shades of white, if there is such a thing. Everything is sleek and cold and forbidding.
This is not quite the date movie you'd want to see because I found it too melodramatic and self-flagellating.
