So far, one of the best movies I have watched this year is “The Adjustment Bureau“. It fantastically explores the idea of fate. What is it, does it exist, and can it be changed?
The 106 minute short movie stars Matt Damon and Emily Blunt and is littered throughout with numerous politically involved personalities that play themselves which help give this movie a more realistic feel (a nice touch). It’s rated PG-13, and while I believe a 13 year old would find the movie enjoyable and entertaining, I am not sure the average 13 year old would grasp, or appreciate, the deeper realms this movie attempts to touch and therefore might not be as interesting.
To talk deeply about this movie without giving too much away is rather difficult and the best I can come up with is:
If you have ever contemplated fate, coincidence, soul mates , and the meaning of life you will probably enjoy “The Adjustment Bureau“! If you haven’t seen it, check it out, but don’t find out too much about it before you watch it… you’ll enjoy the ride that much more.
