Nina Forever (2015)
2/10
Burying the ex
9 June 2019
I thought Nina Forever was a metaphor about something such as guilt or moving on. That maybe a character was going through some existential crisis and Nina was a manifestation of that.

Some hope. I actually think the writers/directors were not aware of what the point of the movie was. They were just happy that they got funding for it.

It is supposed to be a black romantic comedy/horror hybrid. Rob (Cian Barry) works in a supermarket, he is mourning the loss of his girlfriend who died in a car crash and he puts his studies on hold.

One night he casually hooks up with fellow worker Holly (Abigail Hardingham) and to both their surprise while they are having sex the bloodied body of Nina (Fiona O'Shaughnessy) shows up.

That really kills the mood and happens each time they make love.

The film never explores what Nina wants from either of them. Each time she pops up someone get a gobby mouthful from her. She is so irritating it makes you wonder what Rob ever saw in her.

The film is a boring mess. The irate speech at the end by Nina's father (David Troughton) was good.
