UnowPriceless hyped garbage

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Argemaluco Nina Forever is the second horror film I have seen this year employing a supernatural context to examine the problems of an excessively possessive ex-girlfriend. The first one was Burying the Ex, but its general tone had been more humorous and playful, while Nina Forever employs deep metaphors in the shape of a bloody naked ghost which appears while the characters Rob and Holly are having sex. Sure, there are also generous portions of black humor in said premise, but co-directors and co-screenwriters Ben and Chris Blaine amenably deal with the "widowhood" concept, as well as the difficult task of forgetting an ex-couple in order to enter into a serious engagement with another person. However, "forgetting" isn't the right word; in fact, that's where the dramatic knot of Nina Forever lies on. During their long relationship, Nina was an essential part of Rob's life, and Holly's presence will never be able to erase it, despite how intense and sincere this new love might be. So, how can they ignore that (literal) presence invading and transforming each moment of the incipient relationship? That's what the characters have to find out while facing the bizarre challenges of their "romantic triangle"; and even though their decisions don't always seem logical or even rational, actors Abigail Hardingham, Cian Barry and Fiona O'Shaughnessy express intense and realistic feelings, making the audience plunge into the confusing (and undoubtedly macabre) situation. The Blaine brothers employ an unusual narrative style, telling the story with chronological games which sometimes invert the normal order of the scenes (ie, we first see the consequence, and then the cause); that occasionally feels like an affectation, but it generally contributes to highlight the contradictions of the morbid romance, and generate suspense which wouldn't exist otherwise, because the horror is more cerebral than physical. And, well, I can't stop mentioning the sex scenes in which the trio faces their most difficult moments. In those sequences, the Blaine brothers created a simultaneously sad, sensual and disturbing atmosphere which seduces at the same time it repels; they reminded me of the dreamlike scenes of the strange film Excision... even though they have more dramatic validity here. As I previously said, Burying the Ex took a completely different focus than the one of Nina Forever, but that doesn't mean that both perspectives lack of validity. Sometimes, romance ends as a tragedy, and sometimes, as a comedy. The important thing is recognizing it on time and getting ready for the emotional aftermath which will chase us afterwards.

Erik Stuborn Surprising small British black comedy of horror, undead, with surreal touches, which highlights the performances of the three young protagonists, specially Fiona O'Shaughnessy, the dead chick. Good script, good acting and interesting game in the editing of scenes, sometimes anticipating what will happen. With funny (and creepy) moments, it is remarkable that this is the first film of the two directors. It reminded me in a way that other British jewel, fantasy genre, called "Cashback", perhaps only because the work environment at the supermarket...A very interesting movie, except at the ending, in the resolving of the love triangle situation, maybe because I expected something more brilliant...

adi_2002 I think the directors were inspired by other movies when they made this but the result is not to well. The main issue is that it follows the same scenes over and over again, the couple is making love, the dead ex-girlfriend mysteriously appears from under the sheet and so on. After one hour I had to stop it and finish the film two days later, it was that boring.Maybe more complex it was better and not so humble with the story, the only good aspect is the acting witch wasn't too bad and Nina's appearances who were creepy, at least for me. Only to watch by fans of the resurrection, blood, tender and horror all this put together in a film and you get Nina Forever.

bobhartshorn Nina Forever is the blackly comic debut feature from the writer/director team of Ben & Chris Blaine which begins very promisingly with supermarket drone Holly (Abigail Hardingham) wooing her work colleague Rob, (Cian Barry), into a romantic relationship. Rob is game but still grieving with suicidal tendencies from the death of his previous lover, Nina, who was killed in a motoring accident. This opening segment is well set up with offbeat humour, convincing performances and a disquieting atmosphere thanks to Oliver Russell's sullen cinematography.Once Rob and Holly hop into the sack however, the brothers Blaine hit premature ejaculation and out pops the bloody apparition that is Nina, spawned from the hereafter for a sabotage mission. Her bizarre and shocking introduction from the inside beyond of Rob's mattress is as impressive as it is gruesome, and quite understandably deflates the newly acquainted couple's appetite for love making. But almost as quickly as Nina's arrival comes the realisation that this is as good as it gets and the story has reached its final destination in stalled county.The scenario is served up again and again and again as, rather than screaming her lungs out and running for her life, Holly perseveres and messes in (pun intended) with replacing the gore stained bed sheets every time naughty Nina appears from the afterlife to spanner the would-be blossoming romance with the supposedly acerbic diatribes spewed forth from the bowels of her gob.Add in Rob's continuing and, it has to be said, occasionally hilarious affiliation with his undead girlfriend's parents, and you've pretty much got everything Nina Forever has to offer. There is little more here than a much laboured conceit about not being able to move on with one's life and being tied to the past blah blah blah, with little variation or story progression to hold the interest.And then there is the problem of Nina herself: in place of a sympathetic and menacing entity from beyond the grave, we have an irritant bore with the voice of a child and the charismatic black hole demeanour of a refugee from Made-In-Chelsea. Whatever it was about this tiresome It-Girl wannabe Rob found so enchanting and beautiful one can only guess at, as any charm and personality plus points she may have once possessed must have been wheeled off to the knackers yard for crushing along with the vehicle she perished in.Once again, the writing can take a lot of the blame, but this is shared by the miscasting of Fiona O'Shaughnessy in the title role. She looks physically too long in the tooth for young Rob, yet (ironically) lacks the mature thespian chops required to flesh out the complexities this, admittedly difficult role demands, resulting in a double whammy fail.Some compensation arrives late in the shape of Rob's moving confrontation in a restaurant with Nina's Mum and Dad and the torch passing fate afforded Holly in the closing scenes. Both are well delivered and move things forward slightly. But it's too little too late.The brothers Blaine have over reached themselves with a half baked story that, despite its allusions to surrealism and the macabre, is far too well behaved & normal for the tropes contained within. Either an off-the-wall, avant-garde, art-house telling or a straight, hell-for-leather, horror roller-coaster would have been preferable treatment to the underwhelming elegance this non-starter has to offer. Better luck next time boys.
