Hello, could you check my review, please) A winning combination of enigmatic atmosphere and breathtaking scenery makes "Melancholia" an exquisite masterpiece. The film portrays the life of two sisters and the imminent approach of the mysterious planet Melancholy. As is comes closer to the Earth, it affects the sisters in completely different ways. Justin, who is depressed, becomes happier, since she is ready to accept the End of the world. Claire, however, becomes vulnarable, as she is not ready to lose all she has. Lars Von Trier suffered from depression at the time when he was making Melancholia. Actually, it even inspired him. And you can clearly feel it as you're watching it, since the main heroine suffers from depression too. "Melancholia" isn't gripping in a literal sense, nor it has unexpected twists. The plot develops slowly, giving you time to savour the Wagner's "Tristan and Isolde" and the fantastic acting of Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg. This film isn't going to teach you a lesson, but it will give you the chance to know how depression feels like. The ending is bittersweet and ambiguous. For Justin it was a salvation, and for Claire it was an inevitable catastrophe. "Melancholia" made a lasting impression on me, though I understand why many people don't like it. It is neither bound to entertain you nor it will try to hold your attention. It's up to you whether you want to plunge in the atmosphere of despair or sweet inevitability.

A changed a few smalls things, but to me this writing piece is very good already - so consider for yourself whether these changes are helpful. For example: "It is not bound to entertain"... didn't make sense to me, but I could be wrong. I also changed "vulnerable" to "anxious" -- because to me that was what you were implying - you could have also said "she started to feel vulnerable" (an emotion rather than a state of being) ... but again perhaps anxious/worried/distressed is better here.

I have not seen the movie but tried to correct what I believe you wanted to say! Justine is a female name and Justin a male name but perhaps she was named Justin? I would not translate Wagner's music title but it could be written either way :-). You have made me a bit intrigued to watch the movie! :-) We all write differently! :-) You've done a great job already.
