Peacock (2010)

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

"Peacock" is a turmoil of a film. It is from 2010 and is currently available on NetFlix Instant Download Streaming. It is directed by Michael Lander.

Peacock is the name of the very small town and the story is of a troubled young man who was abused at some time in his youth. The majority of the story revolves around his current disorganized state of mind. I gave it 5 stars. Dale Haufrect

This movie is something you might expect if Freud and Hitchcock got together for an evening of drinking and writing.You never really do know what will happen next.Sybil comes to mind I suppose.The entire childhood is the Greenroom (Louise Fletcher Sybil "What happened in the green room Sybil").This movie could have gone many ways.It will not haunt you, but it will leave you in subtle shock I think at the margins of human experience. Maybe it erodes the margins - it dances on the edges of maps.In fact, they SHOULD have put in Dylan's My Back Pages - but it's probably best no anchor to reality is made in a soundtrack etc. After all this isn't Juno.All I know is the description said a train wreck changes a small mid western town unexpectedly.And I do say- that was an accurate assessment.a Clark bar anyone?

I haven't seen this movie yet, but I know that it was filmed in Iowa. I am from Iowa born and raised and am glad to hear that it was filmed here. Apparently there is a part in the movie that states one of the character's was born in Ladora, crazily, that is where I am from. It has about three hundred people here in Iowa. Just wanted to share my excitement about that since most folks in Iowa don't even know of a place called Ladora. Essentially it is mind blowing to hear that you small hometown, that no one knows about is referenced somewhere in a movie. I am gratified to hear about this news, yet feel quite tickled to death. I hope that more movies are made in Iowa, it's a pleasure hosting them.

Strange but interesting story. Cillian Murphy is quite unforgettable as the schizophrenic abused cross dressing main character. Always thought his face was a bit feminine. He acts his pants off literally. It's quite convincing that he can pass off for both man and woman. There is a bit of a Norman Bates element but with some dark comedy. This unusual story works out quite well. The supporting cast looks suitably taken in. Ellen Page is quite good. Susan surprisingly doesn't look out of place in a small town. Keith Carradine, Bill Pullman and Josh Lucas all fit in quite well in this podunk setting too. Quite an impressive cast for such an off beat story. Worth a watch.
