I've been waiting to see this movie for ages. I saw a trailer over a year ago and thought the concept was amazing, two people who might just be the last two people on Earth. Whoa! Unfortunately, the concept is the best thing about this movie. It starts out great, the scene is set (and the scenery is so good it makes me want to visit Iceland!) and although there are hints at what happens, there is no concrete evidence and no one to ask.

The scene is set for an amazing, independent movie to blow your mind with a message of epic proportions! Alas, the message never appears and you sit through an hour and a half of a couple trying to while away the hours waiting for the inevitable.

I SO wanted to love this movie, but it has no point and no conclusion and after watching the movie, you realise that there is actually no reason for making or watching the movie. If there was something that happened, it would have a point, but there isn't.

The most dramatic part of this movie is its colossal failure. The acting is OK, the scenery is fantastic and the build up is great. Sadly, the film goes downhill after the initial 10 minutes until you are finally put out of your misery when the credits roll.

If you want to watch a movie of this ilk, watch The Blue Lagoon instead as it is a similar concept of solitude, but with characters who have depth and strength.

Sorry Bokeh crew, I was rooting for you but it's a poor movie

There is absolutely no plot in this movie!

Being an Icelander I can't understand why they were always looking for water? It's like two people searching for sand in the Sahara desert.

I get it would be emotionally hard to be the only two people left on this island. And it's cool to explore that but you gotta give me more then just two people talking about water and being depressed.

They should have moved to a farm next to a lake, not some mediocre house in the city. And the end was so strange always cutting to this water machine thing scene at the house and it didn't lead to anywhere.

And HOW was this icelandic fisherman so thirsty? like I said there's water everywhere. He should know that. And why didn't they just sail home since she was so homesick?

I wish they would have brought some plot twist. I really like the concept.

...but a fairly good character study. Slow burn movies are only terrible if they aren't accomplishing anything. "Bokeh" accomplishes exactly what it set out to do -- examine the nature of humanity and human relationships as crystallized by the unlikely tableaux of (most of_ humanity seemingly disappearing and two characters stuck far from home. The movie, and the actors, did an excellent job of it. We all have different thresholds for boredom, granted, but I didn't find it boring in the least, perhaps because I was careful to get an idea of what the movie was about beforehand and therefore never expected it to be an action movie. It did come across as a blatant Icelandic travelogue, which is a bit annoying, but at least Iceland had some really nice vistas.

That said, I did find the ending a bit cheap. While there were hints of loneliness and nihilism toward the end of the movie, there was no indication that Jenai was outright suicidal after just a few weeks of isolation. Riley's incredibly stupid notification -- how could anyone be so dumb as to not realize how it would get Jenai's hopes up? -- seemed like a good reason to dump him, but driving her to suicide wasn't an act that was sufficiently foreshadowed. One short conversation with a depressed old ex-fisherman doesn't come close to selling the idea that Jenai was subsequently full-out suicidal. It was a very depressing, very human ending, to be sure, but I don't think the filmmakers earned that conclusion.

Incidentally, my theory about everyone disappearing is that they just went into hiding to keep away from the pretentious hipster Riley. The old man thought he was safe but, nope, Riley shows up on his remote doorstep. You could see the shock and horror in his reaction to seeing that pretentious hipster, and his decision to quit this life that very night made sense. It's just disappointing that it took Jenai, who seemed intelligent, so long to seek out her own means of escaping him. Tragic, in fact. Had she just decided to find a boat and fled, she'd have lived a long and happy life.

(It did strike me as a significant error that they didn't try to find one and learn to pilot it in the safety of the nearby waters before setting out. Boats aren't hard to steer if you rely on the engine rather than the sails, and fairly safe to practice with until you master it. Just find some yacht, head south for a while, then turn west to reach North America, since that's where they were from.)
