Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Contains a plot spoiler or two.Justin (Stephen Campbell Moore) and Kate (Clémence Poésy) are expecting their first child after 10 years of marriage. Kate is distant from her mother (Deborah Findlay) and looks at a picture of her brother of which we know nothing about. Meanwhile, what appears to be the perfect couple moves in downstairs. Theresa (Laura Birn) is from Germany and her husband Jon (David Morrissey) is an international banker. He doesn't appear to be as nice. She is also expecting.PLOT SPOILER PART: Circumstances cause Theresa to lose her child and a rift occurs between couples. However, they make nice, Theresa babysits and goes Rebecca De Mornay all over the film. Now at this point the film could turn out two or three ways and they chose the lazy ending.The actors really put themselves into the script which failed to create the real thriller and suspense film this could have been.Guide: F-word. Sex. Blurred preggo nudity. Close up breast feeding. Rebecca De Mornay was better.

When you have a movie that is almost an open book to read (and that's without having seen any trailer), you do wonder how will they pull it off. The invitation was or rather is an example, that even if you have seen the trailer, it does hold on to the excitement and the tension. Something this movie can not do over the entire time.Still it's not a bad example of a thriller. It does have the acting talent at hand and even almost achieves to get away with the usual "come on, you should know better" we may utter at the expense of the characters on screen. So depending on your patience and what you think of certain character motivated decisions, the ending will have an impact - or not. And that will clearly be visible in your rating of this movie ...

A slow paced but intense thriller-drama. Couple in an apartment expecting their first child.Downstairs neighbors are also awaiting a new arrival. But something is definitely not right when a tragic accident means only one couple will be blessed with a child.... Despite some plot discrepancies there is plenty of good acting and engrossing tension to keep this movie interesting to the climax. 6 and a half rounded up: 7/10.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. In the first 20 mins of the film, I was wondering what was up with the weirdness of it all. I just felt weird watching it, but it was a good kind of weird. The two female actors stole all of the scenes. They were fantastic. About halfway into the movie, I was wondering what was going to happen. I felt so inclined to skip to the end to see because sometimes I'd rather not wait. It was so intense, but I stuck it out and I was not disappointed. Great film. The movie overall was unsettling and dismal, but I liked the feel of it. Psychological dramas are my favorite. I would definitely watch The Ones Below again in the near future and it is definitely recommended.
