it was okay

Real is not heavy on plot, it is a character driven film. It is a good film until the ending. Unfortunately the ending does not fit with the rest of the film. This film is a minor disappointment.

A single note that, while it occasionally resonates, often falls flat. Neither of the lead players contribute a particularly stunning role, and the middle of the film meanders about. It's not that the message isn't admirable, it's that there are probably many more interesting, insightful, and intelligent ways of illustrating the point. The ending is almost totally telegraphed, and the sliver of the unknown does not magically elevate the narrative.
