Divergent

 

Divergent 2014

  • Director: Neil Burger
  • Based on the book by Veronica Roth
  • Cast: Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Kate Winslet, Jai Courtney, Ashley Judd, Zöe Kravitz
  • Why? Dystopia
  • Seen: 2 May 2025 

 

After the War society is restructured so that everyone is placed in one of five groups. There’s a lot of running, jumping off buildings, playing at being soldiers, long yearning looks between girl and boy, rebellion, evil leaders (the rational scientists) crushing emotion and kindness and all that. The book was OK-ish, the film is OK-ish. I love dystopias but this is limp. The Hunger Games is ever so much better.
